Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What on earth is this all about?At some point in life, most of us pause and ask ourselves this question. We sense there is something more - something deeper than the daily flow of work, relationships, pleasure and pain. But where do we look? And what are we really searching for?The Incredible Journey is a profound yet accessible guide to the most important questions a human being can ask: Who am I? Why am I here? What is the nature of this world? And what is the highest purpose of this rare and precious human life?Drawing on the ancient wisdom of the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita - and on the direct teachings of one of India's most beloved spiritual masters, Jagadguruttam Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj - Swami Govindananda presents a complete map of the spiritual journey. From the nature of the soul and the workings of the mind, to the science of karma, the mystery of Maya, and the supreme path of divine love, this book illuminates the full landscape of Vedic philosophy with clarity, warmth and deep personal insight.Written for Western readers with no prior knowledge of Indian philosophy, The Incredible Journey is neither academic nor superficial. It is the distilled wisdom of a lifetime of study and practice, offered with the generosity of a true teacher who wants nothing more than for you to find what you are looking for.Because what you are looking for, it turns out, is already within you."Bhakti is the yoga of yogas. It is the easiest and deepest path of love, and can be followed and experienced by anyone, anywhere, in any culture."About the AuthorSwami Govindananda is a New Zealand-born Swami trained personally by Jagadguruttam Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj.
