Welcome to this reading community.

Every so often, an unforeseen event will dramatically change the course of your life. With this in mind, let’s entice you on a journey through India in search of monkumar. Take a bold step to join two mendicant mystical minstrels on their pilgrimage, an adventure about freedom, friendship and some attention-provoking encounters.

“Searching for Monkumar is an amazing and engrossing tale of a journey to find that which is forever elusive—an all-encompassing journey that will eventually show all humankind what it is looking for.”

Michael McConnell, editor, Penguin Random House

About the Book

This creation was originally based around ‘The Holiwater Project’: the travels, film footage, photos and stories of a talented photographer and filmmaker, Andrei Jewell, plus his friends.

Andrei’s rich cinematographic footage might have inspired this entertaining novel and while some elements of the story are based on actual events, it is ultimately fiction. A signpost of prose to some of life’s profound moments.

Every so often, an unforeseen event will dramatically change the course of your life. We follow a young man, who leaves behind his old existence after such an unexpected encounter.

With his new sense of purpose, the young man, Agamani, slips easily into his mission to find meaning.

Agamani finds an older mentor, Kamesh, who teaches him the ways of being a mendicant mystical minstrel. Together, they undertake an ambitious pilgrimage in search of the elusive Monkumar and other answers to life’s big questions. Their journey goes from a place close to the mouth of the river in West Bengal to a spot in the Himalayas near the source of the Ganges.

The arduous aspects of their pilgrimage take a physical toll on the older of the two friends. Will he complete his quest? Reservations remain as to whether Agamani’s support and friendship is enough to help Kamesh reach the source.

Along their path to this crisis point, they travel to sacred places, meet remarkable people, participate in protests, witness miracles and attend the most auspicious of global spiritual events.

This novel will guide you through an engaging culture and diverse society. It combines ancient mysticism with the challenges of the modern world. It endeavours to present attention-provoking encounters over this mosaic of vivid colours and scintillating soundscapes.

I think if you like the music, spirituality and serendipity in India, you’ll like this tale.
