zjj Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Haribol! I'm a 24 year old writer and I'm self-publishing my first novel 'Follow the Cowherd Boy'. It's based on the life story of Mirabai, as told by the acharyas and what I could find in the historical records. I wrote this book because Mirabai is a hero of mine and I wanted to spread her legend in the western world as she is not very well known here. Another reason was that I wanted to explain things about Sanatan Dharma that most westerners don't know, so that they can understand it more and not confuse it with the things they see in the media. I hope and pray that Krishna is pleased with my efforts. The book is out on October 25th, 2006 and is available to order from trafford.com and amazon.com. The ISBN number is 1-4120-8626-4.

zjj Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I just wanted to let everyone know that the book launch date is only four days away. I've set up a booksigning in my local area for 27th Oct too. I'm in talks with my local PBS radio station about a possible interview and with local tv too. If anyone is interested in the book, they'll make great diwali presents! Happy Diwali and Happy New Year! Hari Hari bol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to go to the website you listed, but it was not available. So I did a google search on your book and ended up here. I'm eager to see what you have written. Perhaps we will meet at the Bookworm book signing. All glories to Mirabai and all the Rasik Saints! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zjj Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Haribol! I wanted to remind everyone that I'll be doing a book signing in Frisco, Texas this Saturday and Sunday. I hope to meet some of you there! Details are on my webpage: http://www.trafford.com/06-0382 I did a writer's talk last night and it went well. The people seemed very interested in Mira and Indian history and I sold several books. I have arranged more talks like this and am booked to speak to some large audiences at local libraries in the new year. Some of the talks are for young adults and some are to adults as I want to encourage everyone to learn about Hinduism and Indian culture and history. I'm excited about these opportunities and will be putting the details for them on my webpage soon too. In the meantime, I wish everyone on this forum a very happy holiday season and a peaceful new year. Let us hope 2007 is a year of enlightenment and understanding. Jai Shri Krishna!

zjj Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yesterday I was very pleased to receive a letter from one of my favourite writers - Stephen Knapp. I had sent him a copy of 'Follow the Cowherd Boy' and in his letter he thanked me for sending it to him and congratulated me on my efforts. I'm so happy to hear that other Vaishnavs are pleased with my book and am inspired to work harder than ever to bring this book to more people. Thank you, Mr Knapp! Haribol!

zjj Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Haribol! My talk with the young adults of Skillman Southwestern Library went really well. The children responded and were very interested in my returning to do a storytelling talk. I've been wondering what story I could tell them. I'm thinking it will be something from the Ramayan. If you have any suggestions then let me know. I have a grand tour of the southern states coming up in March. I'll be posting a long list of all my locations and dates soon, as soon as I tie up some loose ends. Till then, Jai Shri Krishna!

zjj Posted April 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Haribol! I'm back from my tour of the southern states and it was a wonderful experience. I met many people who were very interested in Mirabai and her life. It was such a happy thing to be talking about Mirabai everyday and encouraging others to learn about her and be inspired by her. I've already started recieving emails from people I met and they've expressed to me their love for Mirabai's story and their awe of her devotion to Krishna. What wonderful satsang is being performed all over the south! Jai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zjj Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Haribol! I'm back from my tour and was able to experience the incredible beauty of the southwestern states of America. I visited the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, the mountains of Utah and the gorgeous mystic land of Taos, New Mexico. The people at these areas were just as beautiful as the land they occupy and I was able to connect with many locals and share the book with them. I met devotees and had darshan at some of the temples in these areas too which made this not just a book tour but a pilgrimage. I feel so fortunate that Krishna has given me this opportunity to associate with his devotees. There is a lovely Hanuman Temple in Taos that was founded by the disciples of Neem Karoli Babaji in 1978. The satsang and seva that continues there to this day is ecstatic and filled with love. I pray that I will again have the chance the visit Hanuman as his home in Taos. Right now I'm trying to sort out my next tour to the northwestern states. Haribol!

This will be my last tour this year and I'm looking forward to it just as I'm looking forward to returning home and staying at home for more than just a few weeks. The best thing about travelling is the return home, I think. If any of you are in these areas then please feel free to come and see me at my signing events. I would love to meet the members of this forum and please don't feel that you have to buy a book. You don't have to buy one at all, it would only be nice to meet devotees and talk of Krishna and Mirabai. This is the greatest enjoyment for me in doing book tours. Haribol!

indulekhadasi Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Haribol! My talk with the young adults of Skillman Southwestern Library went really well. The children responded and were very interested in my returning to do a storytelling talk. I've been wondering what story I could tell them. I'm thinking it will be something from the Ramayan. If you have any suggestions then let me know. I have a grand tour of the southern states coming up in March. I'll be posting a long list of all my locations and dates soon, as soon as I tie up some loose ends. Till then, Jai Shri Krishna! Jai Joshi Yes, Ramayan is a great topic to talk about. Since your audience consists of young people keep it short and sweet. You probably know this, I am just giving you a quick reminder. Thank you so much for all your preaching efforts.

You probably know this, I am just giving you a quick reminder. Thank you so much for all your preaching efforts. Haribol Indulekadasi. Thanks for the tip. I was thinking of telling the story of Rama's wedding, the storytelling session isn't set up yet but I might work on sorting that out this winter. I'm doing a talk in Berea KY in a couple of weeks so I'm excited about that. I've fallen in love with public speaking and I'm really grateful Krishna gave me the opportunity to do this through my book marketing because otherwise I would never have known how enjoyable public speaking it.
