MOONLIGHT ON THE GANGA Moonlight on the Ganga  Travel memoir; Reprinted by iUniverse/The Author's Guild; 2006 Paperback; Available on-line. *********************************** My Journey With Ma Ganga I had not journeyed to India in search of something. For the most part, I figured I knew it all - and none of what I felt so assured of had any concern at all for Spirit! Yet, once in Rishikesh, the call of the Ganges River - Ma Ganga, the "Mother," as she is known - drew me to her side and the whisper of her began to move within me. As I wrote in the Introduction to Moonlight on the Ganga: "Gaze up at the full moon some clear evening. Luminous, mysterious, mystical, her light bathes and holds us rapt in an awesome stillness, inviting us to feel her peace. So, too, the sacred river of India - the Ganga; the sight of her, her mystic song, her awesome presence wakens the life of people along her banks, exhorting them to come, be near, fear not. Daring to expose your spirit to these two will unveil your own soul. I know, because I've seen my soul reflected in these." *(*from Pg.15, Moonlight on the Ganga,Copyright 2001 by Claire Krulikowski) Selected Reviews of Moonlight on the Ganga "...Devotionally rich...Above all, MOONLIGHT ON THE GANGA is a transformative journey to the sacred center where the author sees with the eyes of the heart - as the Sufis would put it." - Review by Fredric Brussat in Spirituality & Health, March 2001 • "Poetic and mystical memoir..." - NAPRA Review, Mar/ • "A book that's so lyrical it could have been set to music...To read this book is to be touched to the core, and to awaken within one's self the essence of those perpetually unanswered questions that constitute the very Dance of Life itself...(The author's) reflective journaling sweep one into the river with her, causing one's soul to sing the same song to which she was then vibrating..." - The New Times (Seattle), Sept. 2001.
