Gurus' Bodyguard

By Darrell Philip McDowall

Cowboy, soldier, father, bouncer, lover, seeker, salesman, fighter, rebel, bodyguard, sceptic, traveller... In his life Darrell has taken on many roles and explored them all in depth. From the wide open spaces of the vast outback on cattle stations, to the dense and dangerous humid jungles of Vietnam, to the cloisters of a Buddhist monastery, on to Indian Ashrams, and the expansive experimental Esalen Institute in California.

Darrell has travelled many paths with an open and always questioning mind. As a young man conscripted into the horrors of the Vietnam War, he gives an unusual and compelling account. On all paths, plumbing the depths of the male/female relationship.

Along the way he served as a bodyguard to a roll call of "new age" spiritual teachers and masters, investigating many therapeutic processes and spiritual practices and the people who forged them such as Kiran, Osho, Terence McKenna, Barry Long, Jenny and the Nine, Gabriel Wroth, Joseph Campbell, Papaji, Dick Price and others.
