The evolution of an AI engineer into a Jesuit, a Christian priest, and lateran Aghori Sadhu, a naked Hindu monk, is the story. On holiday in Goa, Grace, a local girl, invited Abe to stay with her on condition he wouldn'ttouch her. He became madly in love with Grace but evolved into a celibate.
At the Kamakhya temple, Emma, from Amsterdam, a researcher ofAghori Sadhus, prompted him about the joys of sex that challenged Abe'smanhood. Her greenish eyes mesmerised him, and the lure tore him apart.A reverberating saga of sparkling aspirations and fleeting visions of Abe, Grace andEmma, enthralled in the zest of living and entrenched in captivating catastrophesans exit, elevates the reader into a delightful psychic amorphous experience.This explosive existential surrealistic fiction exposes the absurdity and futilityof celibacy, asceticism, and renunciation. Grace and Emma are two facetsof womanhood, and Abe is the quintessential artist who tries to circumventhis anguish through painting their portraits. The Aghori Sadhu symbolisesthe meaninglessness of life. His nudity is civilisation's primaeval status, thefreedom to be naked.
