500			_aThe Lady Who Carried the Monk Across the River is a 2026 novel by Pavan K. Varma that explores the intersection of spirituality and desire in the Himalayas, featuring characters named Mandakini, Guru Brihaspati, and his disciples Kevala and Gyan. The story, inspired by a classic Zen parable, flips the traditional narrative of a monk carrying a woman, focusing instead on themes of Shakti, passion, and the tension between worldly love and spiritual pursuit.
