What started out to be a nice vacation and travelogue turned out to be that, plus a profound spiritual journey to Maharishi's Vedic India. Never having written a poem before, I got so inspired by my experiences in my travels throughout India that the door of poetry unexpectedly opened up to me. Hence, a series of 8 poems effortlessly emerged. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did writing them.
