A literary tribute to the World-Teacher, Heart-Master and religious guru Adi Da Samraj, formerly recognized as Bubba Free... More > John. In a unique prose style - divinely inspired and culling from the styles of Gertrude Stein, Adi Da Samraj and the Beat Generation - this is the story of a middle aged everyman, a Mr. Zero if there ever was one, whose materialistic and heathen existance comes face to face with the divine being, a man called Da.

Using a unique poetic prose style of repetition and mirror prose imagery, this is a story of semi-biographical caliber, that anyone of spiritual leanings can relate to and pull something from. The story is loosely based on the biography of Adi Da Samraj, but it is not so much a story of him as the story of how the average man perceives life and what it does or does not offer. < Less
