His spiritual awakening leads to a serious rethink about his initial money and property agenda. He goes through various experiences (mystical and ethereal even) and those turn his derision into skepticism, and finally, into belief, on par with what Indians living on the Narmada hold. ![]() Once he is there, he also acquires an unstated love interest for one of the girls running the ashram. His reason to visit is money and property. He is exposed to strong doses of belief, faith and rituals while there. He is compelled to visit an ashram in India, located deep inside the forest on the banks of the Narmada (Reva) river.
