Visakha Dasi, an Independent Publisher Book Award winner, recently released Five Years, Eleven Months and a Lifetime of Unexpected Love, a memoir. Already a #1 bestseller in three Amazon categories, the book is now being translated into several languages. Readers have compared Five Years, Eleven Months to the 60-year classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, which was selected as “One of the 100 Best Spiritual Books of the Twentieth Century.”

        Visakha’s Harmony and the Bhagavad-gita: Lessons from a Life-Changing Move to the Wilderness was a 5 star Readers’ Favorite, her Bhagavad-gita: A Photographic Essay received the Independent Book Publisher Award, and her Our Most Dear Friend, Bhagavad-gita for Children has sold over 20,000 copies and remains a bestseller in its category.
Besides writing articles and books, Visakha also assists her husband, John Griesser, in making documentary films. The couple will soon be releasing a 90-minute biopic, Hare Krishna, the Mantra, the Movement, and the Swami who started it all -- coming to a theater near you!

They have two beautiful daughters and are based in both British Columbia and Florida, but mostly Florida.
