| Plot Summary of Mystic and the Blossoms |
|---|
"In a fit of temper, Jagat accidently kills a man, then flees from the crime. He becomes a Sadu, an aspirant who gives up family, home, and hearth to don a robe, grow a beard, then wander about the countryside, calling himself Jag Baba. His travels take him many places across time until he settles in a poor village called Khapat.
Slowly Jag teaches the villagers and helps them to become more civilized, never pressing or rushing anything upon them. He teaches them unity in all aspects of their growth.
Subtly woven within the story is a message that you reap what you sow; that which appears useless has a purpose; nothing is random; two incidents totally different from each other, happening at the same time on opposite ends of the world can have an affect on one of the parties involved; and life comes full circle. "
Margaret Marr, Resident Scholar
