Writes Swami Ganeshananda: &quot;A few years before I met Rudi, I felt a strong need to find a deeper meaning to life. I felt like a leaf in the wind, without any anchoring or security. Over time, this evolved into a constant, almost intolerable existential anxiety and sense of not belonging. I experimented with relationships, marijuana, group therapy and artistic involvement. I was getting a good education and took part in the peace demonstrations against the war in Vietnam...&quot;</p>
