Présentation de l'éditeur
What does it mean to understand and practice the religious life? In a work which combines scholarship with deep spiritual insight Phiroz Mehta draws on more than fifty years of study and practice to interpret the meaning of spiritual evolution.
He has distilled the essence of the world's great religious traditions, from the message of the Vedas and Upanishads to the teachings of the Buddha, Jesus and Zarathushtra, to reveal the path which can lead us towards a life free from fear, greed and hatred, a life in which our actions are pure, wise and compassionate. This is the way of Transcendence which is centred in the living heart of religion.
L'auteur vu par l'éditeur
Born of Parsi Zarathushtrian parents, Phiroz Mehta was educated at Royal College, Colombo, and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read Natural Sciences and History. Later he studied the piano under Solomon, giving recitals in India and Britain. He had many other interests; astronomy, poetry and philosophy. His interest since early boyhood in all the major religions of the world was not confined to a theoretical study. Deeply concerned with discovering through personal experience the Truth which is the Heart of Religion, he practised both the outer and the inner disciplines of several great religions.
During his lifetime he gave over three thousand lectures on religion and Indian culture to learned societies, university students, schools and conference centres in England, Holland, Germany, India and at his London home.
