I am currently in India working on my novel of the imagined life of Sage Patanjali, who wrote the Yoga Sutra, the basis for classical yoga philosophy. The novel is set in 4th-century India during the Golden Age of Indian philosophy, science, math, and astronomy. It aims to capture the spirit of the period and includes such seminal historical figures as the playwright-poet Kalidasa, the Buddhist monk Fa-Hien, and the Sankhya philosopher Isvarakrsna.  My purpose with the novel is to convey the wisdom of yoga philosophy clearly and accurately through good storytelling.
