Search Of Heaven” with Major Hollywood studio, with academy award winner

and Academy award winning director being attached to the project, with
Ata star and produce the picture, Ata’s life took a drastic change. He
was set up by a few crooked individuals in a real estate scam, and
simultaneously went through a horrible divorce. He went from being
wealthy, established, living in nine-bedroom luxury house, to homeless
living in his car. He had to pull away from the film to save the rights
to the novel. Within 45 days he was living with homeless friends and
typed two Novels, “TAR” and “In Search of Love.”
Known
and being a spiritual soul Ata had seen the problem coming way before,
he had documented many things he dreamt about. But whatever he sees he
cannot stop it from manifesting, and he knew he had to go through the
experience. Soon Ata reminded himself what he was meant to do and the
path he was meant to go down. He took his homelessness as a twisted
beautiful gift from God and rediscovered himself into happiness. Shortly
after he compiled a spiritual book of poetry entitled, “I Am A Lotus,”
which brought tears to many including Oprah Winfrey.
This brought him the honoree Spiritual Philosophical poet.

actions of love and peace throughout the globe and bring people together
as one. As the founder of, “THE LOTUS LIGHT CHILDREN CHARITY
