ANAND BHARAT
A Journey of Self Discovery
The Walk
A young monk has spent eleven years trying to become one with the universe. One morning, on the steps of a small temple just off Oxford Circus, an old man asks him a simple question: when did he become separate from it?
Looking for Ourselves
Most of what we believe about ourselves has been handed to us. These writings do not ask you to believe anything new. They ask you to look, and to check what you find against your own experience.

Looking Rather Than Believing
Nothing here needs taking on trust. Every claim can be tested in a sound, a sensation, a thought.

Anand Bharat
Anand Bharat is the pen name of a British writer from Yorkshire. He writes stories and short essays about awareness and the nature of experience, knowing that what they point to cannot really be conveyed in words. Even so, like many before him, he feels compelled to try. His first book, The Walk, follows a young monk and an old man through London over a day and a night.
