In Om Geoffrey Moorhouse records his travels across South India in 1992, from the places of worship he visited to the wide range of people he met on his way - the pilgrims and supplicants, agnostics and holy men and women, politicians and the last survivor of the pre-Independence princes. An honest and unflinching account of a deeply personal spiritual quest, Om also brilliantly evokes the frustrations and delights of India. This travel book is the story of a three-month pilgrimage through Southern India, highlighting man's spiritual struggle to rise above wretchedness. The book is an account of Geoffrey Moorhouse's time spent in ashrams, his meetings with gurus, his testimony of a miracle performed by the reincarnated Satya Sai Bab and his visits to the dwindling Jewish community in Cochin.
