Dada Maheshvarananda is a yoga monk, activist and writer from the United States. As a student, he was active in the protests against the Vietnam War and adopted a radical approach to social change. He was inspired by the words of Che Guevara, to become a "true revolutionary guided by great feelings of love."
In 1978 he traveled to India and Nepal where he became a yogic monk and studied the Progressive Utilization Theory (Prout) under its founder, Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. He taught meditation and organized for social justice for 14 years in Southeast Asia, three years in Europe and 21 years in Brazil and Venezuela. He gives seminars and workshops at conferences, schools, yoga centers, and prisons about social activism, spiritual transformation, and cooperative games.
His first book, "After Captalism: Prout's Vision for a New World" with a preface by Noam Chomsky was published in 2003 and has been translated into 10 languages.
In 2007 he founded the Prout Research Institute of Venezuela in Caracas, where he served for nine years as director. His second book, "After Capitalism: Economic Democracy in Action", was published in 2012.

Excellent analysis of current political situation with many tools to use to become an effective activist. A must read for all those who wish to make a difference in this shifting world of constant governmental upheaval and betrayal by our elected representatives. There is power in community and solidarity!
