Interleaves is a paean to the transformative potential of catastrophic life changes. It records the twin journeys in Lata Mani's life in the wake of a head injury she sustained in 1993 her baptism of fire into disability and her spontaneous awakening to Devi, the Divine Mother, in context of this crisis. Through contemplative writing, poetry and cultural criticism of the way society perceives illness, it invites the reader to join her as she witnesses, honors, grieves and celebrates her experience, and in the process radically revises her prior sense of the very meaning, purpose and promise of life.

This book came into my life at a time of personal crisis- a crisis to which my best response was to grit my teeth, keep a stiff upper lip and keep on. Of course this only made matters worse leaving me in a perpetual state of anxious fortitude. I read Interleaves with a vague hope that the author Lata Mani, who had been through a crisis infinitely worse than mine, would have some words of advice on cultivating strength under fire. Well, nothing was further from the truth. Interleaves was counter-intuitive to the point that lights came on in my head. Mani's advice to crisis, tragedy and loss is not a desperate clenching but a radical opening. An opening that is rooted in surrender, faith, acceptance, silence, courage, relaxation and renunciation. While this may sound fatalistic, it is precisely here that Mani's deep wisdom based on rich experience becomes obvious. Interleaves makes an insightful case for not closing up in the face of pain or seeking a pop psychology quick fix. On the contrary Mani patiently explains the art of opening up and 'going through' and being transformed by the process. The 'going through' happens when one resists the urge to either fight or flight and as Mani quietly suggests lets go of the illusion of control. This does not mean inaction but the right kind of action with mindfulness and relaxed ease. Read this profound book- and if my experience is anything to go by, Mani's perceptiveness will shift things inside you that you never imagined could be shifted.Product details
