🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

A spiritual journey to India by this psychedelic graphic designer, but it’s not really a travel journal.
It’s more a journey to India that he holds within himself, within his consciousness or subconsciousness, it’s his fantasy and not necessarily a real place, but this is what he saw and felt.

It’s about India that he fantasised and dreamt about, through the drug, hippies, America, 70s, The Beatles and eventually the death of Yukio Mishima, who committed a public suicide, days after he told the author he was ready for India, that became a final trigger.

In this second visit, he goes to Kashmir but mainly he talks about the universe and how he managed to be a part of it.
