Pilgrimage to the Mother: A Woman's Journey to the Source of the Ganges

Alakananda Devi

The author, Alakananda, is an English Doctor and former Catholic novice. In the early 80’s she takes a spiritual journey to the source of the river Ganges. Along the way she explores ashrams and holy cities meeting some of the greatest saints of India, including Anandamayi Ma. She encounters a goddess as sensuous as a courtesan, falls in love with an ex-hippie Buddhist, and learns the secret teachings of the spiritual importance of women. This is a wonderful book for anyone interested in the spiritual yearnings of a seeker and her ultimate realization of the spiritual path.
