Description

Excerpt: "In Northern India stood a monastery called The Chubara of Dhunni Bhagat.

No one remembered who or what Dhunni Bhagat had been.

He had lived his life, made a little money and spent it all, as every good Hindu should do, on a work of piety-the Chubara.

That was full of brick cells, gaily painted with the figures of Gods and kings and elephants, where worn-out priests could sit and meditate on the latter end of things: the paths were brick-paved, and the naked feet of thousands had worn them into gutters.

Clumps of mangoes sprouted from between the bricks; great pipal trees overhung the well-windlass that whined all day; and hosts of parrots tore through the trees.

Crows and squirrels were tame in that place, for they knew that never a priest would touch them."
