Roadtrip with guru

At the age of 38, Timm Kruse meets an Indian guru at a festival and is instantly captivated by his words. The encounter triggers something deep within him — overnight, he leaves his family and old life behind to embark on a quest for enlightenment. 

Before he knows it, he’s living in the guru’s ashram in India and traveling the world as his chauffeur — through Canada, the U.S., and Europe. But the longer he stays by the guru’s side, the more the image of the enlightened master begins to crack. Could it be that, in the end, he’s just an ordinary man? 

With honesty and humor, Timm Kruse shares the story of his spiritual journey and offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a true guru.

40 days of fasting

Who’s really crazier? Someone who fasts for forty days — or a saturated society convinced it never has enough? 

Timm Kruse puts it to the test. And discovers that not eating isn't actually all that hard. With humor and charm, he documents his daily struggle between temptation and restraint — and in the process, gets to know himself better.
