Richard Salva became interested in reincarnation and yoga philosophy in his teens when he moved to Ananda, a yoga community in the Sierra Nevada foothills. For the next thirty years he continued his studies under the guidance of Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda. An author and minister, he has given hundreds of lectures on reincarnation, yoga philosophy, and history in the United States and in Europe.

About ten years ago Richard received the inspiration to write a book based on Yogananda’s statement that Abraham Lincoln was reborn as Charles Lindbergh. For eight years, Richard pored over scores of books, studied old newspapers and magazines, visited sites where Lincoln and Lindbergh had lived, and interviewed historians and experts—and discovered nearly 500 significant and startling ties between the two men!

Mr. Salva founded Crystar Press in 2005 and published Soul Journey from Lincoln to Lindbergh in 2006. His writings have received kudos from the critics.

Mr. Salva is an expert on all things related to reincarnation, yoga, and meditation. He is a veteran stage actor, with many starring roles under his belt. He has appeared on The Liz Wilde Show, 21st Century Radio, NPR, and in the Hindustan Times. He recently addressed The Las Vegas Paranormal Conference. Richard has plans to tour the East Coast, the Midwest, and the Pacific Northwest. He currently lives in Silicon Valley, California.
