Dave Fogarty is neither a famous spiritual guru nor a lifelong monk. He's a regular guy who spent several decades wandering through Christianity, Buddhism, Maori tradition, Balinese Hinduism, and Vedantic philosophy before discovering what he had been searching for all along.

That search eventually led him to Bali, where after many years of practice he was initiated as a Balinese Hindu priest. Along the way he studied under Jeffrey Armstrong (Kavindra Rishi), a scholar of Vedic philosophy, whose teachings helped Dave finally put words to an experience he first had as a twenty-year-old standing on a Berkeley beach.

Dave teaches through Ahimsa In Action, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting nonviolence and public service. All proceeds from this book support that mission.
