Dear Readers,

I'm happy to have this opportunity to greet you, and say a few words about my current project, and finished titles. My very first manuscript was a commentary on Nisargadatta Maharaj's meditation classic, I Am That. Nearing the finish line, I accidentally deleted the file and was never able to retrieve it. I took that as a challenge to produce a better book.

It is just over a decade since I lost that first draft. To date, I have finished one album and 15 manuscripts including a series on the Prayer of the Heart, a novella, several books on meditation, and a three part series of original song-poems. My current project (Jesus' Yoga: What I've Learned from 18 Months of Full-Time Meditation) was inspired by the prolific author and meditation master, Paramahansa Yogananda. It includes 20 in-depth chapters detailing what I have gained from 18 months of full-time meditation in the Kriya Yoga tradition. Topics include: working without fatigue, the science of meditation, expedient means toward union, and real-life miracles of the saints and yogis. This book is composed in two parts: part 1 covers theory, and practice. Part 2 includes a series of diary entries detailing what I have learned, and continue to learn, from these all-day meditations. I pray the reader will find my books inspirational and challenging! Please take some time to visit me at mariocaputo.net for my blog, videos, music and other files!

With devotion.
