The Avadhut and His 24 Teachers

What if the whole world were your teacher?

In the ancient wisdom of the Bhagavata Purana, the wandering Avadhut discovers twenty-four teachers in the natural world - among them Earth, Wind, Sky, Water, Fire, the Moon, the Sun, the Ocean, a Moth, a Bee, an Elephant and a Spider.

Each reveals a different truth about how to live: how to remain steady amid change, how to move through the world without clinging, how to recognise desire, how to rest in spaciousness, and how to find wisdom in the ordinary.

The Avadhut and His 24 Teachers reimagines these timeless teachings as a quiet visual journey. Elegant illustrations, contemplative reflections and generous space invite the reader not simply to understand each teaching, but to pause with it.

Rooted in one of India's great spiritual traditions yet written for the modern contemplative reader, this is a small book to return to slowly - a reminder that wisdom does not always arrive through scripture or teacher. Sometimes it is already waiting in the earth beneath our feet, the sky overhead, the creatures around us, and the unnoticed moments of everyday life.
