­This is my story in all its nakedness. It is the truth as much as I remember it. I tell you this because it’s been many years since it occurred and sometimes, even I don’t believe that it happened. Yet, it did. This is the mesmerizing story of John Yogacara Asanga. A direct descendant of the eponymous saint Asanga, John is yet to realize his destiny. For now, he is just a young man grappling with his part-Indianness in an American world. Through the pages of this book, we accompany John on his journey from the safety of Kokomo, Indiana, the city he called home, through the world of drugs and prostitution in Chicago and his days in prison in America to an ashram in India where he meets Aanya, the love of his life, to finally discovering his destiny as an Asanga. Replete with mystical, magical details, this novel deals with transcendent themes that relate to our very existence.
