Synopsis

In spite of E.M. Forster's novel, A Passage to India, being touted as the most commented upon book written in the 20th century, it seems strange that critics have so far omitted, or rather, failed to connect the major events in the episode and the symbols used therein to the Indian myths and parables as seen in their literature. In the present study I use a simple anagram of the cellestial syllable, AUM, to show how it is possible to unravel the mystery and muddle of the Cave incident through the Hindu myth of Parvati and Shiva, connecting them to the experience of Mrs Moore, the principal protagonist of the novel.
