Bhiku and his Bowl: M. S. Murthy(Author) Bhumika R (Translator)

Bhiku and His Bowl is a deeply reflective novel that finds extraordinary meaning in the ordinary rhythms of life. At its center is Bhiku—quiet, observant, and grounded—and the simple bowl that becomes a powerful symbol of awareness, care, and responsibility. As Bhiku moves through his world, his life gently intersects with others, revealing how small acts of attention and kindness shape human relationships.
Rather than celebrating renunciation or spiritual extremity, the novel remains rooted in everyday existence. It suggests that true wisdom is not found in withdrawal from life, but in engagement—with people, with work, and with the quiet demands of compassion. Through understated prose and humane insight, the story meditates on love, moral responsibility, and the dignity of ordinary choices.
Spare yet resonant, Bhiku and His Bowl invites readers to slow down and listen—to silences, to gestures, and to the unseen threads that bind lives together. This is a novel that does not seek to instruct, but to awaken, lingering in the mind and heart long after the final page is turned.
