Romina Power

"Upaya" is a Sanskrit word meaning "the means", when something is done with a different purpose in onežs mind. This is what happened to Hans, a young man who worked in a hospital in Germany. A dying patient gave him a letter and made him promise he would deliver it to a relative of his who lives in Varanasi, IndiaĮ In a monastery set into the Himalaya mountains, Hans thinks back over his approach to the mysterious continent. He remembers and tells his trip, research, transformation and what led him to his spiritual awakening.
