"Bible Enlightened: Religions and Yoga" introduces the reader to a challenging new perspective, offering a fresh and far-reaching point of view on the mystical side of yoga as compared to world’s religions that explores how Eastern and Western spiritualities support and complete each other.
ABSTRACT:
The book is organized in two volumes of text and a third volume of illustrations (about 1,000). It is the result of many years of vast research and travel around the world. The intended audience includes readers in spirituality, world religions, yoga and meditation.
Besides thoroughly analyzing the Bible (Old and New Testaments) in connection to other Scriptures pertaining to Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and other religions, as well as esoteric doctrines such as Kabbalah, Sufism, Hesychasm aiming at discovering their deep, hidden essence, the author resorted to a wealth of documentary sources. However, beyond the inherent historical approaches, the work, is focused upon phenomenology with the aim of highlighting the common ground shared by the great religions and yoga spirituality.
As a scientist, the author expanded the breadth of the subjects covered in the book, bringing together knowledge not only from scriptures but also from science (mathematics, physics, astronomy, anatomy and physiology and other scientific resources), as well as historical facts, geographical surveys, results of archaeological findings, mythology, art history, analysis of folklore and ancient traditions, comparative linguistics especially of ancient languages.
