This is a remarkable story of Spirituality and Persistence. In this work no. 1 New York Times best-selling author and economist Ravi Batra recounts his journey from small-town India to the stage of international recognition, all while honoring the commitment to meditation and teachings of his spiritual guide. His story also demonstrates the power of yogic medicine, which enabled him to make a full recovery from terminal cancer in a matter of weeks. He brilliantly weaves together memoir and anecdote to craft a story full of surprise, wit and wisdom--one that will prove invaluable to anyone interested in the path of spirituality. He also offers ways to cut poverty in America and the globe in a matter of weeks without raising federal spending and debt. His conviction is that where there is a will there is a way; where there is no will, there are excuses.
