Whilst packing for a family trip to the hills of Uttarakhand I, as is my wont, picked up a book randomly from my shelf and added it to my backpack. Was it destiny that the book turned out to be the celebrated autobiography of Swami Yogananda? I still recollect that sense of wonder, the goosebumps, the glowing feeling that I felt after I had finished the last couple of pages of a truly life-changing book.
