Monje Que Amaba a Los Gatos, El - Paperback

by Corrado Debiasi (Author)

If someone told you that due to a strange twist of fate you are going to spend some time in the company of an elderly monk and his wonderful cats, would you believe it?; that you will undertake an initiatory journey, dotted with encounters that will lead you to discover, through a whirlwind of emotions, the immense beauty of your soul, would you believe it? When the protagonist of this story, Kripala, goes on a journey, does not know what the future will hold, but he knows what he wants to leave behind. Your destination is the city of Benares (Varanasi) in India. There he will get lost in a maze of alleys where, paradoxically, he will begin to find himself. In the vital and sacred womb of that ancient city will meet extraordinary people in their apparent simplicity, humble in nature, but abysmal wisdom. A master of martial arts, a painter, an old woman who feeds the poor, a gardener... All of them will leave in Kripala indelible teachings, words that will remain engraved inside, but it will be the old monk named Tatanji, the one who weaves destinies like a skilled weaver, retired to an ashram in the company of his cats, who will open his soul forever.
