ABOUT THE BOOK
You are about to embark on a journey to the East and to the
West, outward and inward, and beyond. Join the pilgrim as he
encounters a sage by the sacred river in the Himalayas and finds
enlightenment in the sage's parables and vignettes. These tales,
at once simple, revealing, and inspiring, unveil mind and matter,
nature and nurture, mindfulness and meditation, duties and
rewards, life and death, the individual and the universal, the
finite and the infinite.
The author reflects on these tales in the context of
environmental biology, public health, astrophysics, and related
disciplines, and offers practical guidance for everything from
business to wellness, all the while separating science from
nonsense with irreverent humor.
REVIEWS
"...It's just lovely, simple and yet so very profound. It
refreshed my memory of many teachings and stories I have received
and so many I have not. I treasure River ... very much and keep
it nearby to read it at random."
--Buddhist scholar Anthony Bucci
"River of a Thousand Tales... wonderful reading, filled with
vignettes and anecdotes from Rao's life and scholarship in every
corner of the world, and reflects the distinguished work of a
rare mind."
-- John Helm, Central Presbyterian Church, Montclair
