This book published by Spiritual Guides, is an invaluable asset for a person planning to make a visit to India. It is very detailed and covers most of the major places covered in other travel books written on India, plus many other places. The practical advice on India is very helpful and is written in a street-smart manner. This book explains how to have a pleasant and inexpensive trip to this exotic country.

Imagine a deserted 500-year-old city with the original buildings still intact. Envision the most beautiful buildings in the world, the Taj Mahal, at sunset. What about checking out an ancient living fort in the middle of the desert perched on a 50-metre hill. See yourself watching a cow in the middle of a busy city street while everyone goes politely around it without beeping their horns. Imagine how beautiful the highest mountains in the world, the Himalayas are, or what an ancient temple with over one million sculptures looks like? This is a taste of India.

Has a special emphasis on the holy places and impressive temples of exotic India. Has very good sections describing some of the main holy places in India including Vrindavana, Navadvipa, Jagannatha Puri and Dwaraka.

REVIEW OF INDIA, A PRACTICAL GUIDE

The travel guide India would be of much help for those travelers who want to explore the spiritual aspects of India. The book is a compilation of recollections by the authors themselves as they devoted years in traveling across the country. Therefore, facts given by them are first hand information and born out of practical experience. Written in simple and narrative English, it is a good handbook for a traveler who comes here to discover the spiritual wealth of India.

India’s spiritual richness is vast and incomparable, but often the physical difficulties make them less easy to appreciate. John Howley has given nice practical advice on how to survive the difficulties, to find the spiritual essence that is the real India. I recommend this book. Bhakti Vikasa Swami England

I used India as my one and only guidebook while on an extended pilgrimage in India. When you have the best, what need is there for the second rate. A chock full, jammed packed, overflowing encyclopedia of reliable information on negotiating your way through spiritual India. For those jaded travelers who are tired of the hype and pressures of the Taj Mahal type tourist beat, this book guides you, lifts you, and directs you perfectly to and through India's spiritual destinations.

You have done a great service in writing your book, Holy Places and Temples of India. All the practical information on dealing with India is as welcome as the information on the holy sites. W Fox Maharishi Institute of Management
