The Shadow that Seeks the Sun is a thought-provoking memoir of the author’s search for unconditional freedom. With affectionate humor, the narrator, Ray, introduces an unforgettable cast of characters who inhabit the banks of the River Ganges in Rishikesh, India. Interwoven throughout these lively stories are nine insightful conversations that take place between Ray and Rudra, an intriguing Anglo-Indian man he met by chance on the ghats. With Rudra’s guidance, these simple, yet profound, talks challenge the author’s long-held spiritual beliefs by pointing directly to that which is ever-present but completely overlooked—our true nature.
