His enigmatic character and magnetic personality gained him a devoted following who lived vicariously through his adventures. But the ever restless explorer was driven to pursue ever greater challenges, and greater risks, in what had become a personal quest -- his own hero's journey. In 2016, he made his way to the Parvati Valley, a remote and rugged corner of the Indian Himalayas steeped in mystical tradition yet shrouded in darkness and danger. There, he spent weeks studying under the guidance of a sadhu, an Indian holy man, living and meditating in a cave. At the end of August, accompanied by the sadhu, he set off on a "spiritual journey" to a holy lake -- a journey from which he would never return. Lost in the Valley of Death is about one man's search to find himself, in a country where for many westerners the path to spiritual enlightenment can prove fraught, even treacherous. But it is also a story about all of us and the ways, sometimes extreme, we seek fulfillment in life." 600 00 $a Justin Alexander, $d 1981-2016? 650 0 $a Missing persons $z Himalaya Mountains. 650 0 $a Hikers $z Himalaya Mountains $v Biography. 650 0 $a Wilderness areas $z Himalaya Mountains. 650 0 $a Travel $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Adventure travel $z Himalaya Mountains. 651 0 $a Himalaya Mountains. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20240724015812.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20240404010539.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20231012014057.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033526.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F3B02010EECB11EC9C630DEB48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
