Marriage Made in Heaven, a Spiritual Romance

The king of Shangrila is seeking a bride. Unfortunately, the girl he wants to marry, a courtier's daughter, is more spiritually inclined. She keeps putting off marriage for philosophical reasons. The king meets her lofty challenges, which turn on such fundamental issues as, "Who am I?" He finally wins her hand in a finale that is evocative of the school of Hindu philosophy known as Advaita Vedanta. This philosophy is all about understanding the self. Readers do not have to know Advaita Vedanta to appreciate Marriage Made in Heaven. Its universal theme is about self knowledge and love.
