As befits his origins, he is multi-faceted, complex, contradictory and likeable - an ascetic and sensualist, a mystic man and a man of the world. He has a fateful appointment with a very large snake, a python, and he has an appointment with himself. The python he must hunt down and destroy; the warring opposites of his own nature he must reconcile. Krishna fluting is a very superior kind of book, all about exotic, barefaced India, where the ancient lunar cold of the Himalayas fights a losing battle against the life force, where Peter Bruff is battered at by the gods, demigods and humans, and seems to enjoy it, and comes to his proper inheritance. Everyone earns remorse, relief or triumph, or simply love, watched over by the Smiling God, whose flute-note is the call of the Infinite. $15.00USD
