O knihe

What happens when one's internal profile is not always in harmony with the external world?

Satyananda is a square peg in a round hole

Born, raised and educated in India, Satyananda fails in his attempts to create an idealistic space for himself in his native country. Disillusioned by the intense competition in a system that is not always fair, he seeks a seemingly better life in the western world.

Although inwardly encouraged by the opportunity to make a fresh beginning in Canada, optimism dampens when faced with the numerous challenges inherent in raising children in an unfamiliar environment. It is a continuous struggle for him and his wife to maintain their language and traditions in a foreign culture so as to pass them on to the next generation.

Caught between two cultures, Satyananda turns to the spiritual domain for solace. Even here, he perceives a disparity between the real and the ideal compelling him to rebel against the status quo.
