| | Iyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Iyers present their allegiance to a Guru - such as Shankaracharya - whose guidance they seek in matters of religion and interpretation of Sacred Laws, and consider themselves a part of one of two pontifical seats. | | | Iyer is the name given to a community of Brahmins (members of the priestly class / caste) of India whose members mostly profess the advaita philosophy propounded by sri Shankaracharya and whose ancestors have had strong ties with the Tamil region, for many centuries. | | | Traditional Iyer women, both married and unmarried wear a "pottu" (red dot, also known as kumkum/sindoor/bindi) on their forehead and married women always wear the mangalsutra or "thali" as it is called in Tamil. |

| | Iyer's interest in the mystical fringes of religious experience, especially in Zen Buddhism, plays a role here. | | | Iyer brings that same startling freshness to his accounts of travel in Bolivia, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Bali, Tibet, Easter Island, Haiti and what he calls "my parents' India" (Iyer's parents emigrated to Oxford, England, where Iyer was born). | | | What he's after in travel, he confesses, is an instructive "dissolution of the self," such as Buddhist monks seek. |

| | Pico Iyer’s intoxicating new novel is at once a stylish intellectual mystery and a pulse-quickening love story—the love in question being at once sacred and profane. | | | When Pico Iyer decided to go to Kyoto and live in a monastery, he did so to learn about Zen Buddhism from the inside, to get to know Kyoto, one of the loveliest old cities in the world, and to find out something about Japanese culture today -- not the world... | | | Pico Iyer – one of our most compelling and profoundly provocative travel writers – invites us to accompany him on an array of exotic explorations, from L.A. and Yemen to Haiti and Ethiopia, from a Bolivian prison to a hidden monastery in Tibet. |

| | Review The Global Soul by Pico Iyer |
| | Iyer's international background qualifies him as one of the "Nowherians" he so aptly describes. | | | In his lifetime he has witnessed a blurring or even dissolving of national and cultural boundaries, a new kind of global unity which paradoxically runs parallel to an increasing sense of fragmentation within the individual. | | | Not that Iyer believes that multiculturalism is a bad idea. |
