Indian Summer

Under The Shadow Of The Turbulent 1960S This Is My Story Of A Journey Through Village India As An American Peace Corp Volunteer. I Graduated College In 1966 With No Idea Of What I Wanted To Do In Life. I Asked The Peace Corps To Send Me To A Place That Was More Different Than Anything I Had Ever Known. I Got What I Asked For. India Unfolded Into A Kaleidoscope Of Fascinating People And Unforgettable Scenes In A Culture That Never Failed To Amaze Me. The Sights Smells And Sounds Of Village India Offer The Backdrop Of What Happened Some Stories Quite Incredible But All True. After Two Years I Was Infused With The Spiritual And Mystical Quality That Was And Still Is India--Something That Is Almost Beyond Explaining. It Cannot Be Found By Touring India Or Even Visiting An Ashram But Only By Living There Learning The Local Language And Being With Indians In Their Homes And Work. Forty-Four Years After Leaving The Peace Corps I Returned To Village India. Surprisingly Very Little Had Changed.
