Throughout history there have been many inspiring stories about non-humans who have sought the company of great saints and spiritual beings—for example, Ramana Maharshi’s beloved cow Lakshmi, Meher Baba’s dogs, as well as the many non-humans who flocked to St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. Stories about non-humans with exceptional sensitivity to the Spirit, to what is beyond and greater than conventional life, have appealed to all people, no matter what culture or religion. Just so, the story about the camel Jingle Baba and Bhagavan Adi Da's profound Love and Compassion for all beings, both human and non-human, will delight children and people of all ages and cultures.

The author has been serving the camels at the Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary since 1997, when she first fell in love with Jingle Baba. She began to share her love of the camels with her young grandchildren and other children, and even began “talking” to Jingle Baba about a little book she wanted to write for children about him and his growing family. In 2005, when the first draft was finished, she sent the story to Bhagavan Adi Da. Now, after more than 13 years, the story is finally available for sale in a beautiful picture-book format.
