I Became A Hindu Scholar Through Six Years Of Intense Training In A Monastery In India, Situated In The Middle Of The Gujarat Desert. We Woke Up At 4.30 A.M. Daily, And Didn’t Sleep Till Late At Night — Midnight, Mostly — With A Lot Of Study Of Hindu Philosophy And Doctrines In Between. We Had Six To Seven Hours Of Classes A Day, With Three Or Four Hours Of Homework And Revision. In Between This Were Four To Six Hours Of Prayer, Worship, And Sermons, And One Or Two Hours Of Chores. This Is My Personal Story.
