Awakening to the Infinite: Essential Answers for Every Spiritual Seeker from the Perspective of Nonduality

Awakening to the Infinite, Swami Muktananda of Rishikesh

AWAKENING TO THE INFINITE
Essential Answers for All Spiritual Seekers
from the Perspective of Nonduality

Raised as a Catholic and educated in the West, then trained as a traditional monk in India, Canadian author Swami Muktananda of Rishikesh is uniquely positioned to bring the Eastern tradition of Advaita Vedanta to Western spiritual seekers. In Awakening to the Infinite, he answers the eternal, fundamental question, "Who am I?" with straightforward simplicity. Based on the ancient teaching of advaita or nonduality – the understanding that, at a fundamental level, there is no division between ourselves and others – the answers in the book are drawn from the many conversations between Swami and individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life.
Covering a range of subjects from the spiritual path to everyday problems in relationships, work, sexuality, parenting, illness and social injustice, , Muktananda communicates directly and compassionately, from the standpoint of someone who is anchored in the Infinite but fully in touch with the world. His teaching follows the words of Christ and the Old Testament as well as those of the sages of India, who all proclaim a universal truth that transcends all religions: "You are not the body, you are not the mind: you are the immortal, divine Self. Realize this and be free."
