“...if you liked The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery, then you’ll love this book!”What happens when a little girl encounters a mystical Dragon in the middle of the snow but believes she saw a "bird with magnificent wings?" What happens when you go through life, perceiving a smaller version of the greatness that lies within you? Searching for Riki is an enchanting story of a human being's quest into the vast Cosmos in search of an elusive dragon. It is a magical fairy tale, about "the search" we often embark on in our lifetime and provides intellectual pushes on the metaphor of what we are truly searching for. Its success lies in the discovery, that we can create every reality we wish for with the law of least effort. REVIEWS"This book unfolds the deep wisdom of the universe in the manner that it teaches life lessons without being imposingly instructional. It’s about choice, dreams, and perseverance. It’s about staying in tune with nature and the universe. Almost every page contains wisdom worthy of putting on a post card or quoting in a preface to a book. It reads like a poem or a song, you can hear the music behind it..." - Ellena Pozdorovkina "I've read the book to my 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son. They get so silent while listening and their eyes fill with magic. I know the powerful messages of love and awareness are connecting in their minds. The life of infinite positive imagination is a marvelous message in itself. My daughter is inspired by Riki and she is also now madly in love with dragons. Thank you Ellora for touching our lives in such a powerful and magical way." -Francesca Oscar “Searching for Riki” is a book I imagine a reader coming back to at different stages in their life and discover something new. The messages hidden within the text only truly unfold as the reader’s mind matures with their own experiences. Only then can they make the connection and apply the lessons the story alludes to. It wouldn’t be a stretch to think of the possibility that this story could subconsciously guide someone through the journey in their own personal galaxy called life." -Enkai
