I liked the idea of Namita Gokhale’s book. It throws light on the lives of seekers and wanderers, gurus who believed they attained salvation, tricksters, and those known as “gods” by some earthly people. While reading the book, my heart went out for their wives and children who were abandoned during the best time of their lives and had to find ways to survive. What would their dreams have been? How about their happiness?
