About the Author
Biraj Wayne Palmer
Biraj Palmer himself makes no special claims to insight. His life pattern is recognizably the same as most of his readers. A variety of jobs started with a dozen years as a preschool teacher, a stint in the publishing business, and half a decade in construction.
His life turned a corner in 1984, when he began practicing and later teaching meditation, including at Ananda’s Expanding Light Retreat, on the east coast, and in India. He was a founding member of Ananda India, and also helped begin Ananda Valley Farm. Biraj’s warmth and joy are contagious. His passions are singing, writing, selfless service, and connecting meaningfully with others.
