L.A. Sadhu

This is the fully revised and updated edition of Kavendra's first book, which was originally published in 2013. After graduating from a top university cum laude, Kavendra (aka. Kalidas) dropped out of mainstream society to live as a volunteer in spiritual communities in the Southwest for over 11 years. This book is about his reflections on his time in community as well as his time integrating into the urban landscape of Los Angeles. Unconventional in its approach, far from mainstream, L.A. Sadhu presents a unique look at alternative America through the eyes of an unusual blend of the spiritual roots of India and the realities of modern existence. Kavendra is also a musician and spiritual teacher/coach. Profits from his art will go to helping to create a mindfulness-based spiritual community.
