So glad you reviewed this one. Samsara was serialized ( perhaps in an abridged version, I am not sure) in the Illustrated Weekly magazine in the mid 1970s. I read it when I was in first or second year of college. It is certainly a powerful work. The serialization was accompanied by some fabulous illustrations by somebody called Kavadi. I still remember those.
