Whispers of the Himalaya

In 1996 meditation teacher Ajayan Borys journeyed to the source of the Ganges River high in India’s Himalayas. Intent on Self-realization, he discovered a deserted cave in a Himalayan forest and for two months lived there alone, meditating in silence, surviving on one sparse meal a day. Through unexpected friendships with holy men, encounters with madmen and the Indian army, surviving harsh mountain conditions (including scorpions and mind-numbing cold), he was opened to the depths of the human Spirit—and to universal insights, the “whispers” of the Himalayas.A riveting read, this true-life account will inspire you with insight born of the clash between the human ego and its striving for the highest of human ideals.

Ajayan Borys has instructed and guided thousands of meditation students in North America, Australia, Europe, and India over the past 45 years. He is founder of Effortless MindR meditation and author of several books, including Effortless Mind: Meditate with Ease (New World Library, 2013). Host of Mind Matters Radio on Alternative Talk Radio, he teaches meditation workshops and retreats on meditation in the Pacific Northwest and the Himalayas. He lives in the Seattle area.
