Blessings of Arunachala: A Solo Travelogue
This web-book is a fourteen-part travelogue of a solo road trip I did in 2018 from Pune to Tiruvannamalai.
It describes all the challenges I faced on the road with my car, my month-long stay in Tiruvannamalai, visits to Sri Ramana Ashram, visiting Virupaksha cave on Arunachala, doing the Girivalam (pradakshina of Mt. Arunachala), and meetings with interesting people in Tiruvannamalai.
I hope you enjoy the story.
