Una ermita en los Himalayas

Cuando Paul Brunton emprendió este significativo peregrinaje a las fuentes, lo hizo convencido de la necesidad de ganar la paz espiritual a través del control de la mente y del corazón. Animado por esa intención, recogió valiosas experiencias en su retiro de los Himalayas, en la famosa cadena de montañas que separa a la India del Asia Central. Pocos europeos se hubieran atrevido a vivir en tan inhóspitos lugares, lejos de los atractivos de la sociedad civilizada. Espiritualidad. Esoterismo. Ocultismo. Metafísica. Misticismo. Li

À la fois récit de voyage, journal intime et relation d'une expérience spirituelle, Un ermite dans l'Himalaya est un texte inspiré et vivifiant, signé par un authentique voyageur. Il nous emmène dans un voyage dans le style des aventuriers du debut du siecle, fort munis et quelque peu aristocratiques, mais a l'esprit ouvert et animes d'une quêste spirituelle authentique et visiblement bénie des dieux..
Frais et instructif, ce livre est correctif de notre illusion matérialiste.

One of the great classics of spiritual literature, Paul Brunton was one of a very small number of his generation to travel so extensively throughout India and Tibet at a time when very few were doing so with such insight and discernment. His journalistic skills produced magnificent descriptions of the snowy peaks and high-desert landscapes of the Himalayan region but it was the lessons he learned from the holy men he met on his journey that transformed him into one of the great interpreters of the East. In this magnificent classic he explains that we all need 'oases of calm in a world of storm', no matter what era we are living in, and that to retreat from our everyday lives for a while is not weakness but strength. By taking the trouble to discover the deep silence within us we will find the benefits of being linked to an 'infinite power, an infinite wisdom, an infinite goodness'. A Hermit In The Himalayas is a fascinating blend of travel narrative and profound spiritual experience. As we accompany the author on his journey through the vast Himalayas ranges towards Mount Kailas in Tibet, he also shows us an even more remarkable - and timeless - inner path which will help us cope with the ups and downs of our contemporary world.
