Synopsis "Bindi Girl 2: Surrendering to the Soul of India"
For the better part of a decade, Erin Reese, aka Bindi Girl, traversed the subcontinent of India with nothing more than a backpack and fervent love for a land, a people, and a free life. In this long-awaited sequel to The Adventures of Bindi Girl and Truth Seeker, she completes the trilogy. In her respectfully irreverent fashion, Reese presents us with all the remaining spiritual travel tales fit to print. Bindi Girl 2 is for those readers hungry for intrepid inner and outer travel, who heed the deepest urgings of the soul, and who are willing to risk it all to experience truth.From the Preface: "My original intention for this great quest was to pull a sort of modern woman's version of Thoreau's Walden. I wanted to discover who I was without the trappings of contemporary life...Were my values, ideas, and dreams really mine, or were they conditioned and told to me? Only by being alone, wandering and observing, listening and writing, breathing and being, in a place so radically different from my homeland, would I be able to hear and trust the deeper voice of Soul." From the Foreword by James Fadiman, PhD: "While many Westerners travel to India to experience its spiritual possibilities, I know of no one who has had a wider range of experiences, has discovered so many levels that India usually keeps to herself, and has been able to share the interplay between herself and the magnetic attraction that kept her returning, exploring, and being blown open every time. That Erin Reese has been able to share so much through these stories is a gift for those of us not yet ready to discover India for ourselves."
