About this Book

Print Excerpt


"That is not in my hands."

"But please put it in your hands. It is your duty to me, nay?"

"It is my duty to help you walk the immortal path," Aakash told his son.

And together they walked it, as Ram continued to grow, a sapling by the side of a grand Himalayan pine. The day would come when they would have to face losing each other, but for now they were united at Prakriti, their mountain home where all paths ran together.
