The
following book unfolds an intellectual and spiritual journey from
the West to the East such as a number of people have traveled in
recent times. This journey moves from the western world of
materialism to the greater universe of consciousness that permeates
India and was the basis of her older civilization.
As an inner journey it is more pilgrimage to the
spiritual heart of India than an outer visit. Yet it is also a story
marked by meetings with important people, friends and teachers who
connected me with deeper teachings and guided me along the way. This
journey is not only through space but also through time, into the
ancient world and its spiritual culture, such as India has
maintained better than any country. It is a reencounter with the
spiritual roots of humanity that we have long forgotten or
denigrated.
The book shows how the ancient Vedic world can
come alive and touch us today, not only as a relic of the past but
as an inspiration for the future. It is a return to the formative
stages of humanity, before we directed our energy to the outer world
and were still connected with our cosmic origins.
