The Voice of Himalaya: Indigenous Wisdom, Legends, and Spiritual Insights from Arunachal Pradesh and Beyond The Himalayas are more than mountains—they are living guardians of ancient wisdom, timeless traditions, and spiritual truths. The Voice of Himalaya is a captivating collection of articles, speeches, and reflections that bring to life the legends, philosophies, and indigenous faith systems rooted in the sacred land of Arunachal Pradesh and the greater Himalayan region.
