Beschreibung

"Epistolary biography of a bridge-building 20th century Christian-Hindu spiritual leader. This fascinating biography of Swåamåi Abhishiktåananda is based on a vast collection of letters written to friends and family over his twenty-five years in India. SwåamåiAbhishiktåananda (1910-1973)-a French Catholic monk, who came to India in 1948 and settled there till the end of his life in 1973-was one of the most fascinating spiritual figures of the twentieth century and a bridge-builder between Christian and Hindu traditions. After nineteen years of living in a Benedictine monastery in France, his passionate longing to realize the Truth brought him face-to-face with Indian spirituality and paved the way for him to meet one of the greatest contemporary sages of India, Shri Ramana Maharshi. This book illustrates the spiritual trajectory of an extraordinary pioneer of interreligious dialogue and a bridge-builder between Christian and Hindu traditions, from his first arrival in South India in 1948 towards his spiritual Awakening in Rishikesh on July 14, 1973"--
