A personal note from Dave: why this book exists and what this space is for.
I am neither a famous spiritual guru nor a lifelong monk. I’m a regular guy who spent several decades wandering through Christianity, Buddhism, Maori tradition, Balinese Hinduism, and Vedantic philosophy before discovering what I had been searching for all along.
That search eventually led me to Bali, where, after many years of practice, I was initiated as a Balinese Hindu priest. Along the way, I studied under Jeffrey Armstrong (Kavindra Rishi), a scholar of Vedic philosophy, whose teachings helped me finally put words to an experience I first had as a twenty-year-old standing on a Berkeley beach.
I live and teach through Ahimsa In Action, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting nonviolence and public service. All proceeds from this book support that mission.
