The Sage and the Housewife

This book on U.G. Krishnamurthi brings a breath of fresh air in an atmosphere infested with self-proclaimed godmen, gurus, and pseudo-religious seeker. If you like to tread a path of adventure, risking your pet beliefs, assumed certainties and habitual hypocrisies, you will love this unique work by a simple and ordinary housewife. Her spontaneous encounters with the enigmatic sage are full of wit and humor. The amusing episodes transport readers to newer heights of crystal-clear vision. U.G.’s straightforward, but ego-shattering statements give one no scope to duck out of real life situations, leaving them to face life as it comes. Within these pages, U.G. Krishnamurthi emerges not as a guru or a godman dishing out homilies and commandments, but a person in flesh and blood. The fragrance of his simplicity and openness is spread throughout the book.
