Sacred Dust on Crowded Streets is the
inspirational memoir of Bob Carlsen, a corporate lawyer,
volunteer, and adventurer who spent two years living and
working in Bangalore, India. Through chance encounters on
the streets of the world's largest democracy, Carlsen offers
not only an introduction to the complexities, diversity, and
spiritual core of modern day India, but also insightful
commentary on India's history, religious diversity, people,
and current challenges that vividly describe a nation once
called "the moral compass of the world." Including his own
experiences and the voices of drivers, cobblers, software
engineers, and religious figures, Carlsen transports others
through daily life in India-wandering its dusty roads to
discover a magical land where religious traditions beat out
the rhythm of day-to-day life and where, under Gandhi's
watchful eye, volunteerism, kindness, and dignity, are
encouraged. Included photographs capture the diversity of
modern India from the Himalayas to the southern jungles.
Sacred Dust on Crowded Streets takes others on a spiritual
journey to a land of surprises, magic, sacredness, beauty,
and challenges-a place whose promise of the exotic lives
deep inside us all.
