In 1996, I took the retreat of a lifetime at the source of the Ganges River at 10,000 feet in the Himalayas, in silence, living in a cave, for two months. It was such an amazing adventure on all levels that I wrote a book about it: Whispers of the Himalaya, which I’ve released this year (2017; yes, it’s been in the writing for 21 years!) It has plenty of adventure, unexpected friendships with holy men, encounters with madmen, the Indian army, and much more, but most importantly inspiring insights into meditation and life–the “whispers” of the Himalayas.
This means that right from your first sitting, you’ll experience deep relaxation and stress melting away. And within days of regular practice, you’ll begin to enjoy the many scientifically verified benefits of meditation:

An engrossing, powerful read. I picked it up one evening and stayed with it to the end, feeling as if I was with Ajayan on his journey into the spiritual heart of India and humanity. While some of us might dream of retreating from the world and living in a cave in the Himalayas near the sacred Ganges River, Ajayan shows us what that experience would actually be like, both the sublime and the mundane. He writes from the depth of the wisdom and stillness he experienced; this book is not only a memoir, but also a spiritual transmission.
