If you're like most 21st century sojourners you may have had a hard time answering that question. Peace is after all a word from the realm of spirituality. It's not always easy to hear the small voice over the cacophony of ringing cell phones the constant blare of the TV and the discordant honks and curses of rush hour. This book the autobiography of Pandit Rajmani Tigunait provides a glimpse of an entirely different way of living. Readers of TOUCHED BY FIRE may follow this extraordinary man on a journey from his birth place in an ancient village in India to his current home in the rolling hills of north-eastern Pennsylvania where he serves as spiritual head of the Himalayan Institute. Along the way you'll meet a variety of teachers who guided Tigunait in crafting a contemplative life filled with spiritual richness wisdom and inner peace. This book is not a how to guide to enlightenment. Nor is it a call to any particular religious tradition. But in its description of Tigunait's life-the years of disciplined study and the struggle to master emotions like anger despair and pride-some of the keys are revealed. And its ultimate message that we're all the same beneath our culture religious and political facades is desperately needed in our world of tumult and tears.
