    This book is an account of over thirty years of very prominent participation by Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer as a human rights lawyer, minister, legislator, high court judge, member, Law Commission, Supreme Court judge, and social activist and reformer. This autobiography also gives us glimpses of other facets of his life—as a child in an obscure village in Kerala; as a student and a young adult; his marriage and his experiences as a devoted husband; and as a spiritual follower of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's transcendental meditation.
