ABSTRACT
In this life Buddha destines to become a guru with his own ashram, indeed he already had many Indian lives, including one as a devout peasant, another as a temple dancer, a third as a neophyte in an ashram and a fourth as a practitioner in a tantric order. He is from an early age in adoration of the Mother Divine and he later works for a time in a traditional Saivite monastery, studying Vedic texts and writing commentaries on them. He wishes for the religious and political transformations and criss-crosses the country debating inside and outside his ashram with other gurus on the need for truth and change. This is complemented by the Western emphasis on the horizontal direction of self-expansion, which is from self to Totality. All this implied that his soul must take the turn from the path of renunciation to the path of action, from the way of the recluse to the way of the householder.
