In the Footsteps of Shiva and Buddha. A Journey to Sacred India

This book introduces readers to two distinctly expressed centers of Indian religion and culture – Shaivism and Buddhism. It is written based on the materials of satsangs conducted by the master of Advaita, Sumiran, for his Russian students in the city of Shiva, Benaras (Varanasi), and the place of Buddha's enlightenment, Bodhgaya.

For the convenience of understanding complex terms and personalities, a glossary is placed at the end of the book.
