Author Gives Away Free Yoga Book

GLENDALE, AZ August 23, 2004 -- On Sunday, May 12, 2002, Swami Prem became America's youngest Swami. Since then he has established himself as America's leading authority on traditional yoga, taught at the First Annual World Yoga Expo in 2003, and was the first meditator to publish his meditation journal online.

Now this young and wise sage has released his debut book, Words of a Yogi: A Book on God, Yoga and Life. It is entirely self-published and
distributed through Lulu.com and Ingram. Swami Prem is about to make history in the worldwide yoga community. He plans to follow in the footsteps of sci-fi writer, Cory Doctorow, and cyberlaw advocate, Lawrence Lessig, two authors who released full e-book editions on their websites of their books. Both have created serious buzz and word-of-mouth--not to mention sales--about their books.

"As a self-published author, you need every advantage you can get. And making my book widely available to anyone in the world with a computer
is one way," Prem says. "I have a message for the yoga community and the world, and if my book isn't read, then I have wasted time, effort, and the potential of others."

Download the e-book from the official Words of a Yogi Book Blog (http://www.americanswami.com/yogi), read it, buy a print copy, and join or start a weekly discussion group with friends, neighbors and
other like-minded people in your area.

Both editions--free e-book and dead-wood copy--contain a free meditation to help relieve stress, relax and find lasting peace and happiness.

About Swami Prem
Swami Prem is America's leading authority on the art and science of traditional yoga and psychoenergetic healing and the healing arts.

Swami Premabrahmananda (JP Mitchell) is an ordained minister of The Philippine International Congregation on the Science of Religion (California Nonprofit Reg. No. 2492531). He received Sannyass from Sat-Guru Da Brahman-Atmananda on Raviara, the 12th of May 2002 (302 Dwapara). Sat-Guru Da is a bona fide Acharya of Sanata Dharma--the Eternal Way of Righteousness--recognized even by the present
Shankaracharya of Sringeri Math, spiritual leader of over a billion Hindus worldwide. Premabrahmananda is, on record, the youngest American to officially carry the title of "Swami." The name Premabrahmananda came from the Sanskrit ananda "bliss" Brahman "God" and prema "love," hence "the bliss of God's love."

Premabrahmanandaji is one of few who have been authorized to initiate people into the First Degree Kriya of Brahman-Atman Yoga in his Guru's
behalf. He also functions as a full time counselor and minister conducting such ceremonies as child dedication and naming, wedding, and ascension. He is the appointed director of the Arizona Branch of the Congregation and also serves as the secretary of the California Branch. Swami Prem is a Brother of The Philippine International Order of Universalist Swamis (PIOUS).

He was the first meditator in history to publish his meditation journal on the Internet. The project is still ongoing.

Swami Prem is a yogi, swami, meditator, mystic, master, yoga teacher, speaker, debater, lover, friend and a man with purpose.
