India is understood for its mysticism. All through ages, Indian mystic poets have created surreal poetry, taking us into the non secular realm and treating us with their music and phrases.

As an example, that is what Jim Corbett wrote in his e book The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag:

In India, the place there are not any passports or id discs, and the place religions counts for therefore much- besides amongst these few who've crossed the 'black water' -- I consider {that a} man sporting a saffron gown, or carrying a beggar's bowl, or with silver crosses on his headgear and chest, might stroll from Khyber Go to Cape Comorin with out as soon as being questioned about his vacation spot, or the item of his journey. 

The travel-freely half is probably not true at the moment, because of strict visa insurance policies, however the level stays legitimate. It’s the custom of Indian mystics travelling from place to position, sharing their teachings which really defines the spirit of India. So, let’s rejoice a number of the Indian mystic poets and skim their poetry. Therefore… this podcast. Hope you’ll get pleasure from it.
