YOGA: A LOVE STORY - Inspirational Yoga Journey Book for Mindful Living, Self-Discovery & Spiritual Growth | Perfect for Yoga Enthusiasts, Meditation Practitioners & Wellness Seekers

California author Douglas W. Davis has a colorful career, studying Law at Georgetown University, performing as singer and trumpeter in his funk/disco band Davis Import, living around the world, and as a writer and film producer. He is a constant spiritual seeker, his goal being ‘to unite all religious and spiritual seekers by revealing how they all stem from the same tree.’ YOGA: A LOVE STORY is his debut novel – a story referencing Asanga – the 4th century Indian religious leader and founder of the Yogacara school of Buddhism. As the Prologue opens, ‘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. All of the mystical, magical details are true.’ And with that invitation the story begins, distilled as follows: ‘John Yogacara Asanga, a direct descendant of the eponymous saint Asanga, 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.’Davis’ comfortably accessible manner of writing makes this near-memoir like novel glow with a luster rarely seen in spiritually defined romance novels. His admixture of history, spiritualism, and loving relationships offers a memorable experience for all readers: just the sort of edifying book we all need at this moment in time. Recommended
