A selection of devotional poems, The hermit and his cave, and other poems, explores the spheres of devotional longing and inspiration. The author is himself a practitioner of spiritual life, and tries through this book to get a layman's view on the mysteries of our existence. The fourth book in the series, The hermit and his cave, and other poems, is an independent book, yet carries with it the spirit of aspiring bhakti, which is the author trademark.
