Biographie d'Alain Badan
I've always been the adventurous type, I wanted to discover the world, other peoples, other cultures and ways of living. The making of a career, the founding of a family didn't seem the right path to choose. I had always been looking, at first unconsciously, for another kind of happiness, of freedom than those suggested by society. At a very early stage I was attracted by wide spaces, by stories of adventures.
I was dreaming of travelling around the world, of having enthralling adventures. During my teens I was reading avidly books concerning spirituality, especially those by Arnaud Desjardins. He brought me know about the great Wise Persons of India and the holy mountain of Arunachala, in southern India, which I was lucky to discover in 2011. Then in 1980 I had the possibility of leaving Europe for the first time and to travel to the country I had so much dreamt of, India.
It became an unforgettable journey of about four months, during which I travelled around this huge country.
