To those who associate Siddharthas enlightenment with magical happenings, Light of the Himalayas is an answer. The novel traces the gradual development of Siddhartha from an inquisitive child to a serious explorer on a trajectory of science and objectivity, until his discovery of the elixir of life, the eight-fold path, and the four golden rules. The book decenters many myths and misconceptions about the life of the Buddha and invites readers to engage in scientific discourse about the religion.
