Product Overview
There are some stories that no writer is talented enough to craft, no imagination wild enough to create, no storyteller gifted enough to tell. These are the true-life stories of people who go unnoticed by us for almost a lifetime. These are the people who live by their own rules, pay little attention to other people's truths, and follow their own hearts. In the process, they suffer great pains, and experience great joy. In the end, we all want to share in their journey, learn their lessons, and live, if only for a moment, vicariously.
Nancy Cooke de Herrera has led a life of subtle defiance, in order to live a life of great adventure, always in search of something more. Nancy has raised four healthy, loving, happy children, buried the love of her life, her second husband Luis, and wandered through the mountain villages of India all on her own. In this story, Nancy tells the intimate details of her life, which include her friendship with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founding father of Transcendental Meditation, and their time together in the Valley of the Saints with the Beatles, Mia Farrow, Mike Love, Donovan, and Paul Horn.
Her life story chronicles the growth of the Maharishi from little known guru to international teacher of Transcendental Meditation, and promoter of peace and unconditional love. It is the ultimate eyewitness account of when spirituality spread from the East to the West.
This book is a fascinating autobiography. It is a captivating adventure. It is an exotic tale. It is a celebrity sprinkled true-story. It is one amazing page-turner of a read.
