Deep in grief, the author wants to know where her deceased husband has gone and ponders the meaning of life, which takes her in a spiritual direction. Drawn to the Light shows the reader her lifelong pursuit for true knowledge, often resulting in illuminating mystical revelations. The appearance of an indescribable diamond-like light slowly leads her into higher spiritual realms. With courage and tenacity, she overcomes obstacles seekers of truth may find along the spiritual path. Ultimately, her search leads to traveling eleven times to India, an ancient land of God-wisdom. Her spiritual journey includes dreams, alternative healing, meditation practices, esoteric studies, and philosophy found in the Indian scriptures. Drawn to the Light offers extensive information about the awakening process through Kundalini, as taught by her guru, an enlightened siddha master in India.

Book Description
Drawing the line is the oldest form of visual artistic expression known to man, from pre-historic cave drawings onwards. Every culture in the world, across continents and time-frames, has a rich store of traditional art which is drawing-based. The 'power of the line' to enclose or open up space, create or suggest form, is almost infinite. And the artist uses drawing in an infinite number of ways. Some might draw as practice, to strengthen or develop technique, to keep private visual notes, as experimental and exploratory exercises; others make a drawing as a finished work in its own right. Rini Dhumal does all of the above. One only has to look through her sketchbooks to see this. Piles of sketchbooks yield a forest of pages covered with drawings that cross years and continents. There is history here, and geography, nature and culture. Drawing upon a storehouse of historical details, the splendors of her childhood, and anecdotal references from various travels, she creates a vivid aesthetic in her art-making. Contents: Foreword; Introduction; Drawing the Line; Rini's Notes; Appendix.
