  • Summary

  • How far would you go for enlightenment? Westerners have long been drawn to the spiritual mystique of India. While many find what they’re looking for and return home, some vanish without a trace or even end up dead. Astray investigates those who pay the ultimate cost in search of spiritual awakening.

Fascinating

I’m Native American, and I live and pray as my people have for thousands of years. We see wasíču u(white folks) searching for some answer to the “hole in their soul” all the time. This is a fascinating podcast, and gives another perspective to a familiar phenomenon.
