Goodreads asked Harsha Yardi:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Harsha Yardi My most recent book is 'Ashtavakra Gita : The Ultimate Solace'.
I was a spiritual seeker and I had left a luxurious life of a software engineer in search of the God. The burning quest within me had made me wander all over India, particularly in the Himalayas, and follow a variety of spiritual practices and austerities. My quest was nearing its completion when I studied the different systems of philosophies in a traditional way. After that when I got to read and understand the 'Ashtavakra Gita', I just felt that this is the most ultimate and complete set of pearls of spiritual wisdom which can give a permanent solace and satisfaction to the readers and it has a potential to address all the burning questions in a seekers mind. Hence I took to translate it in english and also wrote a commentary to address some of the intricacies involved in the journey of spiritual enlightenment.
