                                    In Pursuit of Love, Spirituality and Happiness

 

By Gita Audhya

The Globalization of cultures and religions of India and the United states, Combined with spirituality of Hawaii, creates a universally enriching experience in the moving  novel in  pursuit of Love, Spirituality and Happiness. 

This is not just a spiritual book. The meaning of true happiness, earthiness of Hawaiian spirituality and role of modern spirituality in modern days are described in this book. The differences and similarities in Religion, Business & Lifestyle from India to US to  Hawaii created an authentic Link and tell a love story and love making in this book.

Mr. Herb Kawainui Kane, my friend, painted the painting of "Pele, the Volcano Goddess of Hawaii" and given me the permission to use the image in my front cover.  He is an artist-historian in Hawaii and his extraordinary artistic career experience has included advertising art, painting, sculpture, publishing art, publishing for National Geographic  and postage stamps.

 

Synopsis:

Jonathan, a handsome young American man born in a very rich, powerful, political, glamorous and conglomerate family who was tormented by his father's corrupt nature and ethical quandary in business had to choose between his quests of love for Oliana, a full-blooded Hawaiian beauty who evokes all the images that he's constructed about ancient Hawaii and whose sculptured face etched foreever in his memory, and his loyalty to his parents.  The choice that took him across and beyond, the choice that made him to do ultimate sacrifice, brought him the happiness in his life. 

Jonathan draws inspiration from Buddhism, his secondary faith, without leaving his primary faith of Christainity.  Oliana pleases her Volcano Goddess Pele through her earthiness spirituality though her primary religion is Chritainity.  Jonathan's Christain friend seeks comfort from Hinduism.

 

ESSENCE OF TRUE LOVE

The novel captures the essence of true love between two people, their conflicts and astonishing & amazing physical romances and real love.  They felt relentless pull of day to day problem living in a currupt situation and face the reality.  Jonathan from USA and Oliana from Hawaii came from very opposite backgrounds but they seek deeper meaning of life and happiness through love and spirituality. Their fulfilment came through secondary faith as well as primary faith and their unconditional love made them happiest.

 

 

Second Book

I am in the process of writing my second book.  It will be about hardship of immigrant life; how they accept consciously and be absorbed unconsciously by a different culture and difficulties they face to bring up their children in that envirnment.
