About the Author

Dr. Irina Gajjar was born in Romania, and educated in the U.S. at Bryn Mawr and other fine universities. She holds a Ph.D. in linguistics. Although she was Jewish, she married a very special Hindu. A gypsy fortune-teller told Navin, her husband, that he would meet a foreigner and marry the woman, who would become a famous writer. He did not tell her until after they were married. He encouraged her to pursue her writing and translating, and together they have very successful grown children in America. Irina began to question current philosophical and political ideas; after all, she is familiar with both Jewish and Indian culture, and raised and educated in America. When she presented a paper at the International Association of Near-Death Studies on the Hindu views of the near-death experience, she knew she had to explore the other issues in America today.

5.0 out of 5 stars It will remain forever in my library!, March 13, 2005
This review is from: The Pokhraj (Paperback)
I loved it, particularly the blending of cultures, religions and personal beliefs. I certainly hope readers, through this book, will come to better appreciate the diversity of the world in which we live. I also imagine a person could read this book several times and depending on their current phase of life get completely different meanings and value from the story each time they read it. It will forever remain in my library!
