Banaras: An Afternoon with Sadhus is a luminous, intimate travel-spiritual narrative that follows a single afternoon among India’s itinerant renunciants—men who abandoned the identities that once “defined and imprisoned” them. Under a shifting patch of shade at Dr. Rajendra Prasad Ghat, a small circle forms: chai is poured, chillums are shared, and life stories surface—simple, brutal, funny, tender. From there, the book opens into bigger questions: What does it mean to reject the modern script? What kind of courage (or rupture) does renunciation require? And what does “freedom” cost—to the one who leaves, and to the ones left behind? Along the way, you encounter the sadhus as they are: radically sober, materially unburdened, and—strangely—joyful in the plain fact of being.
