Lost & Found in India – Amazon Releases a New E-book by Mayapur Author

On Monday April 13th, Mayapur author Braja Sorensen’s Lost & Found in India will be released internationally in e-book form on Amazon. And for the first three days, it’s free…

Since Prabhupada set foot on New York soil, “Hare Krishna” has become a household word. What many don’t know, however, is that he wanted, too, that “Mayapur” become similarly known to the world. “I want that the whole world be attracted to Mayapur,” he told Ambarisa Das, the man responsible for the majestic temple now rising from the soil of that sacred land.

When Ambarisa repeated those words to Braja Sevaki in London in the ‘90s, the seed of Lost & Found in India was planted. Soon after, Braja and her husband, Jahnu, moved to Mayapur, and her writing began. “I knew that writing of the beauty of Mayapur was a way to ‘attract the whole world.’ Prabhupada didn’t say he wanted the whole world to visit, but to be attracted. The written word is a powerful thing, and Mayapur is the most powerful vehicle of that written word.” 

The beauty, peacefulness, and mantra soundtrack of Mayapur decorate the pages of Lost & Found in India, weaving their way through what is otherwise one person’s story of why they live in India. Each chapter ends with words from the Bhagavad-gita or Srimad-Bhagavatam. It’s a one-way ticket to Mayapur, minus the expense and austerity, and on Monday morning, free flights are available, when Lost & Found in India will be released internationally in e-book form on Amazon—free for the first three days as part of Amazon’s promotions.

“Amazon has changed the world of publishing, and I love it,” Braja says. “US author John Locke was the first to hit the million mark with his e-books that were free for a few days and then sold at 99c, $1.99, and similarly low prices. He has been a driving force in the changing face of publishing, and there are thousands of authors worldwide who benefit from his experience.”  

Braja has already published India & Beyond: Plane Reading for Part-time Babajis on Amazon, and it’s sequel, Mad & Divine: Collected Writings will be published this summer. 

 But for Lost & Found in India’s e-debut on Amazon on Monday April 13th.
