| Description: |
“Abhishiktananda stands beside Thomas Merton, Tony de Mello, and Bede Griffiths as one of the architects of a new mystical Christianity.” William Johnston, S.J.
Swami Abhishiktananda (Henri le Saux, 1910-1973) is one of the most intriguing spiritual figures of the twentieth century. A Breton-born monk who moved to India in 1948, he initially hoped to Christianize India along Benedictine lines. Instead his deep encounter with Hindu spirituality, particularly the experience of ‘non-duality,’ led him on an even more challenging and adventurous path, adopting the appearance and life of an Indian holy man. His last years were spent living as a hermit in the Himalayas. Abhishiktananda's writings reflect an extraordinary search for God in the story of a man prepared to risk everything, caught in the tension between two traditions, but ultimately finding reconciliation in the truth beyond opposites. |
