In this, the third and final volume of the Aghora trilogy, the Aghori Vimalananda uses the backdrop of the Bombay racetrack as a potent metaphor for the ultimate game ofife, where destinies and fortunes are forged orost on the momentary edge of the finishingine. Weaving all the characters favorites and outsiders, jockeys and trainers, owners and 'rail birds' into the grassroots tapestry of the field of karma, Vimalananda masterfully entwines the flamboyant external reality of the racecourse with the subtle internal reality of creative spirituality.
