A struggling Monk
₹149.00
In these pages, you will encounter:
- The Rebellion of the Body: When hunger and illness test the vow of detachment.
- The Trap of the Mind: When the ego survives the shave and hides in spiritual pride.
- The Reality of Work: When a monk must become a clerk, a manager, and a laborer to serve the Dharma.

This book serves as a stern warning to the Escapist: do not come here to hide from the world. The Ashram is not a sanctuary; it is a blast furnace designed to burn you to ash.
But to the Mumukshu (The Seeker of Liberation), this book is a map. It offers the assurance that the struggle is not a sign of failure—it is the very process of transformation.
Description
ABOUT THE BOOK
“A STRUGGLING MONK” is not a tale of miraculous levitation, instant enlightenment, or the romanticized silence of the Himalayas. It is a raw, unvarnished chronicle of what happens after the head is shaved and the saffron robes are donned.
Set against the chaotic, humid, and divine backdrop of Puri, Odisha, this narrative follows the journey of a modern, educated man who leaves the corporate world to join the Dakshinamurty Math. He expects a life of serene meditation; instead, he finds a battlefield.
From the terrifying finality of the Viraja Homa (fire ritual) to the crushing sensory overload of the Ratha Yatra; from the humiliation of begging for alms to the tedious struggle of balancing an ashram’s ledger—this book exposes the invisible wars a monk must fight daily. It peels away the mystery to reveal the human bone beneath the holy cloth.
This is not a biography. It is a composite truth—a mirror reflecting the trials of every sincere seeker who has dared to walk the path of Sannyasa.
