Neelkanth Varni (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781636407814)

About to be forced into an unwelcome marriage, an eleven-year-old Ghanshyam leaves home, barefoot and dressed only in a loincloth. He changes his name to Neelkanth to avoid recognition and courageously enters the soaring wilderness of the Himalayas during its most hostile season. He emerges four years later, emaciated but alive, aware of what he must do to liberate the people of India from millennia of conquerors that had devastated its traditions, and driven the people into abject poverty.

About the Author: Nilesh Manani has been addicted to the stories of Bhagwan Swaminarayan since he was a child. He felt compelled to bring alive the story of Neelkanth Varni because it has never been written in English in the detail it deserves. It is offered as service to Bhagwan Swaminarayan, and to all the seekers of a spiritual life.
