Symmetry hosts a book launch party for local author, Rüdrani Devi. She will be signing her second book, For the Love of Running: A Marathoner's Journey from Victim to Victory, and will be doing a brief reading from her book on Saturday, December 10th from 4-6pm. This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. This event takes place at Vanderbilt-area retail and book store, Symmetry, located at 212 Louise Avenue in Nashville (37203).

For the Love of Running (ISBN# 9780983460015) by American educator and holistic healer, Rüdrani Devi, shares the story of the author’s experience after the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, that nearly took her life. It also chronicles her subsequent battle to rebuild her life and broken body.
After two and a half years of painful rehab, Rüdrani Devi was released from her doctor to participate in her 10th marathon. Realizing her dream, Devi was granted a ‘wild card’ entry from the Boston Athletic Association after Adidas heard her story. She then ran the Boston Marathon on April 18th of 2011. In honor of her mother, a two-time breast cancer survivor, she committed to running three women’s half marathons before the end of the year. The first was in Nashville on September 24th, and two more will take place in November (in Arizona and Florida).
“I learned first-hand how connected we really are to Spirit,” Devi says. “There is something about an experience that literally shakes you from your core that affords you the luxury of knowing how close you really are to your higher-self, to love, to God/Goddess, basically to the universe. Oddly and joyfully, the most horrific experience of my life has brought me to the most connected outcome.”

Best-selling author and subject of TV’s Medium, Allison DuBois, says, “Rüdrani is a reminder of what the human spirit is capable of when faced with adversity. Everyone can relate to being knocked down in life. Her book is a road map to how to get back up and rise above your challenges.”
