At 77, Veena Vohora has just published her first book. But the story of how she got here begins not with inspiration — it begins with loss, a bomb blast, and a single line from a scripture that changed everything.

Veena moved from Kenya to London, spent 28 years in spiritual practice under ManavDharam, and was asked by her Guru to write a book long before she believed she could. This is that story.
