I wrote The Superyogi Scenario in the middle of a three-year meditation retreat. I felt the world would enjoy a new take on the superhero story.
This time instead of powers coming from radiation or spider bites, supernatural abilities would come from yoga and meditation as explained in ancient texts like The Yoga Sutra (3rd century). Readers could then experience authentic wisdom that creates superheroes while having a fun, page-turning ride in a new superhero universe.
On Sunday afternoons I would take a break from meditating all week to write. For me it was a time to play with deeper aspects of Buddhist and Yogic philosophy while keeping things I had been working on in my mind fresh. The metaphor of superheroes battling evil kept coming up and so the Superyogi Scenario was born.
