Description: The Path by Brinda Gaitonde-Nayak Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Path is a story that revolves around the search for an actual path to salvation or Nirvana, laid down in the 5th century by Raksha, a Buddhist monk, around various ancient historic sites of Mumbai. Such an introspective route comprising of transcending stages is described in several Buddhist texts, but its literal existence is being proven by a world renowned Indologist Dr. Debu Koyna, ex-chief of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). He is assisted in this search by epigraphist Tanya Viz, researcher at the Asia Society, New York, and Sagar Sathyu, an archaeologist at Kanheri, Mumbai. Two parallel storylines - one set in the present day and another set in the early 5th century, run simultaneously, each dealing with separate yet similar stages in the Path. Author Biography Brinda completed her Masters in Architecture from Sir J. J. College of Architecture, Mumbai, India and her thesis was on Conservation of Rock-cut caves in Mumbai. Subsequently she was commissioned to prepare a conservation report on these caves and she was appointed on the experts panel of the Mumbai High Court to look into their preservation and upkeep. Needless to say, having worked on the cave sites of Mumbai, Ajanta and other parts of Western India for over a decade, she has begun to see meaning in the curious symbols, inscriptions and other peculiarities at these sites, which inspired her to write her first fictional book titled "The Path." Brinda co-founded THE BOMBAY HERITAGE WALKS on World Heritage Day (April 1999), an organization that conducts architectural walking tours in Mumbai. In 2006 she was awarded the Charles Wallace India Trust fellowship to undertake 2 months training in UK on management of World Heritage Sites. During the course of her conservation practice, several of the projects that she has worked on, have won awards. Brinda divides her time in USA and India and continues to be a consultant on Indian projects.
