Born on October 28, 1970 in Munnar, a mountain town situated in the State of Kerala, in the Southern part of India, the author as a child naturally drifted towards the call-within. After the college studies, he goes to one of the coral islands of Lakshadweep, Androth, as a Mathematics teacher. Parents’ liberal and graceful attitude and the mundane life-course encouraged him to explore his own self, honestly. He leaves the island in search of the island within; and soon, finds himself by the banks of the river Ganga in Rishikesh. There, after adopting the name bodha chaitanya, he was initiated into the Hindu monastic order. Ten odd years of wanderings in the Himalayas, staying in Gangotri, Uttarkashi, Pushkar culminate as Sanyasa, the highest renunciation, in the year 2008, from the scholar-teacher of Vedanta, Acharya Swami Vishnu Teerthaji Maharaj . For the last two years, he has been staying by the river Ganga, in the Himalayan town Uttarkashi, in Aanand Ashram. People recognize him as Aananda Teertha by his Sanyasa name.
Aananda uses Adi Sankara’s Masterpiece metaphor, rope and snake with a sweet creative twist. Here the snake & rope is used as a ladder to re- cognize the oneness as none other than one’s own self, I. Snake, rope and & in the book, symbolically denote the three states, or cause and effect; by negating which one lands up abruptly on his reality as I. Negating the duality by a subtle internal reflection and simultaneously asserting the negator as the I is the practice in nutshell.
wanderings, windows & white paper is the echo of his footsteps of those external but internal wanderings.voir moins
