I express my sincere gratitude to my dear father Sri. Shanmugam (Late) who used to invoke the author in me by quoting the couplet from ‘Thirukural’ (Thiruvalluvar) If you are born (in this world), be born with qualities conductive to fame. From those who are destitute of them it will be better not to be born.

He was the first photographer in the state of Kerala.

My special thanks to my dear daughters Janani and Aparna for their thumbs up in encouraging me to light ‘Buddha’s Lamp’.

I am grateful to my publishers Notion Press for taking my story across the nation.

My big thanks to God, for the love and blessings!

1. In search of the unknown

Sound plays a vital role in the life of human beings. The power of sound is unimaginable. All languages need sound. Mantras and sound are closely related. Mantra is a Sanskrit word comprised of the root words ‘manas’ which means mind/to-think, and ‘tra’ meaning vehicle. So a mantra is a mind-vehicle or a way to transport us beyond our thoughts. Some of the mantras have remarkable illuminated sounds in it. These are the mantras that subdue the spirits.

Baltal is a small piece of land in the Himalayas. It is covered with many small hills and snow all around.

The sun that crucifies us at most of the place is wholly absent here.

It appears somber and merely shines just for namesake in that town, where it couldn’t play much of its role.

In that greenery, the curved roads’ view is so fabulous!

It is a destination for tourists who arrive there from all over the world. So the hill roads looked clean without any ridge and ditches.

Even more, the mountain road from Baltal to Ladakh was like a path to heaven.

That is where the business magnate Mohan’s car got rushed.

Mohan could not enjoy the
