Eat, Pray, Love - by Elizabeth Gilbert

Eat in Italy
Pray in India
Love in Indonesia(Bali)

From the book: "Gilbert's aim was to visit three places where she could examine one aspect of her own nature, set against the backdrop of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well."

This book is a travel diary - a travel across nations and also deep within. Her language and writing style is very beautiful.

She amazingly explains her experience of getting in touch with the divine nature. After 'Autobiography of a Yogi' - this is one book that left me transformed in a very subtle way. When I read about how she meets her ex-husband in a different consciousness plane, tears started flowing down my eyes. It was not emotional, but something deep within me was touched. It was quite intense.

பொன்னியின் செல்வன்

பொன்னியின் செல்வன் பற்றி பேசிக் கொன்டிருக்கும் பொழுது, நன்பர் ஒருவர் இந்த தளம் பற்றி சொன்னார். பார்த்ததும் அசந்து விட்டேன். எத்தனை நூல்கள். நீங்களும் அனுபவியுங்கள்.
