Inspiration for This Work

My father attends a church called Self Realization Fellowship that was founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in the early 20th Century which coincided with his introduction of eastern religion to America. His hermitage is in my home town, Encinitas, California. I read the last chapter in his book, The Autobiography of a Yogi, that was about Encinitas and I was inspired to do this piece.
