The Shiva Paradox

A SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE Every location in The Shiva Paradox is described as this author found it. The many spiritual teachings mentioned are given as close to word for word as they can be from the writer's memory and notes. The characters are either actual or are based on real people. As far as what it's like for a foreigner to ride a motorcycle in India, the book is exactly factual. The subtitle "A Spiritual Adventure" could also have been "An Advaitic Adventure". Advaita is usually translated as "nondualism." It is a perspective that is inherently non-judgmental and non-attached. Temple Cook is certainly not an advaitic sage, but he is learning.
