This Coffee Table Book ‘Everest – same path, different peak’ is very impressive blend of two journeys, physical and spiritual. The visuals portray the physical one while the verses, inspired from Bhagvad Gita illustrates the spiritual one. There are total 165 photos of Atul Karwal’s exploratory journey through Himalaya’s to the Everest. Book marvelously demonstrates this journey’s unexplored, unnamed and enigmatic territories, much like our mind. At the peak of the Everest, he feels there is nowhere higher to climb. At the time he reached the highest hill of the world, he said ‘the mountain and I; we are one.’ Captivating photos of Himalaya’s speak more than the words. Side by side Anita Karawal’s own interpretation and translation of 101 selected verses of the Bhagvad Gita depict the internal pilgrimage. Just, go-through this book to explore the expedition to Everest, which represents the consciousness as well as material world.
