A Way Within: Seven Years in a Himalayan Ashram: Seven Years in a Himalayan Ashram

In her mid-twenties, Madhu Tandan and her husband, Rajeev, left Delhi to

live in a remote ashram amidst the Himalayas. Under the tutelage of the

charismatic and mysterious Ashishda, the former English aircraft engineer

turned Vaishnav guru, they lived a simple life with a 'soil to soul' philosophy,

where every experience was viewed as an opportunity to grow.

Living as a community in the Ashram came with its own challenges. Other

than being physically taxing, there were days when life was too perplexing,

and when personal dilemmas would leave them questioning the journey. The

couple strove through this with resilience, struggling to transcend suffering and

discover what lay beyond it. Believing in simple practices such as growing one's

own food and meditation, and relying on the powerful role that dreams play in

one's life, Madhu and Rajeev navigated their seven years of Ashram life with the

conviction that there are no dead ends in life.

First published in 1997, AWayWithin-extensively revised and expanded for

this edition-is a candid and illuminating account of the inward journey; a

quest that is challenging and rewarding in equal measure.
