Author's description: My life is an example of following in the footsteps of Jesus, while practicing yoga disciplines and applying the principles of "A Course in Miracles." I am a "monk in the world," not a father with children. Yet, as every father, I would like to leave behind an inheritance. This autobiography is my inheritance, but it is simply a reminder of our Father's inheritance---His gift of Himself---to all of His children. The only gold in this inheritance is the message of love and forgiveness that God wants me to hear, to live, and to share with you.I hope that you are entertained by my life story of blending the East and West. However, providing entertainment is not my goal. My purpose is to encourage you to increasingly awaken to the spiritual dimension of your own life. Consequently, this book includes how-to appendices on Christian meditation, exercise, and yoga postures, which can be practiced by anyone to grow spiritually. The goal is to let your spiritual practice become a way of life firmly centered in Christ. With this goal your spiritual practice starts out as an effort, becomes a necessity, and eventually becomes a delight, bringing many blessings.
