About the Book
Dr. Amitava Dasgupta was born in Calcutta, India, in 1958 to a Hindu mother and an atheist father. A natural skeptic, he spent his early years searching for the meaning of life in the books of both theologians and scientists, but to no avail. It was not until many decades later, in 2011, that he witnessed a real life miracle that forever changed his worldview and transformed him from a fallen Hindu into a Bible believing Christian. With the help of award-winning writer Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook, Dr. Dasgupta has turned this story into an amazing book entitled, Autobiography of a Non-Yogi: A Scientist's Journey From Hinduism to Christianity.
Take this fascinating personal expedition of discovery with Dr. Dasgupta, one that spans the fields of parapsychology, quantum mechanics, astronomy, theology, thealogy, anthropology, archaeology, and cosmology, and learn how modern science is beginning to prove religion true: the soul survives bodily death and lives on in a beautiful and unseen realm, awaiting loved ones who are still on earth. "A powerful book of hope and faith that will inspire all who read it, whatever their personal views." - The Publisher.
Dr. Dasgupta immigrated from India to the U.S. in 1980. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University and his Fellowship training in Clinical Chemistry and Toxicology from the University of Washington at Seattle. Currently he is a Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. He is the author of over 20 books, has published 182 scientific articles, and is a member of the editorial board of five international periodicals, including the American Journal of Clinical Pathology, the Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and the Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Journal.
Col. Lochlainn Seabrook is a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal and the author and editor of nearly 100 books on topics ranging from astronomy to zoology. Known as the "Southern Joseph Campbell" for his numerous scholarly works on spirituality, the Bible, and comparative religion and mythology, he is a seventh-generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage, a Kentucky Colonel, and the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford. He has a forty-five year background in religious studies, as well as American and Southern history. Considered the most prolific and popular Southern historian in the world today, his books have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts left out of our mainstream books. He is the author of the worldwide bestsellers: Seabrook's Bible Dictionary, Jesus and the Law of Attraction, and Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!

Review :
"A MARVELOUS JOURNEY" "It was abundantly clear from the first page that Mr. Dasgupta's journey was going to be something I have never experienced. The journey was both educational and uplifting. As an evangelical Christian my journey has been quite different than Mr. Dasgupta's, and yet we ended our journeys in relatively the same place as believers in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Thank you Mr. Dasgupta for sharing the religion, history and science knowledge you obtained during your journey. I will be reading this book many times." - ROB ALLEN
BOOK DEVIL REVIEW: "This is, beyond any shred of doubt, one of the most curious books on religion I've ever read. There are some curious combinations of spiritual traditions at work in the life of Dr. Amitava Dasgupta, a self-described "non-yogi", who, with the assistance of award-winning writer Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook, delivers a brief but thorough discourse on both his life and his beliefs. In less than 200 pages, Dasgupta walks the reader through his life and its unusual twists and turns along the spiritual path. He is, as it turns out, a Christian - but a syncretic Christian. . . . Dasgupta's story and religious philosophies offer spiritual stimulation. And there's lots of interesting data in the book . . . And though more concretist than is my taste, Dasgupta is anything but the bellowing, pushy fundamentalist that plagues the U.S. like divine curse of locusts. Autobiography of a Non-Yogi offers food for thought, even if writer and reader don't share paradigms. It's entertaining, a swift read into which one easily settles. And, ultimately, it's a unique book among its kind and offers a rare insight into a person whose religious expression doesn't follow a party line." - KRISTOFER UPJOHN
