Christ the Guru: A Vedantic Key to the Gospels

The Ocean Of Philosophical Insight Hiding In The Words And Story Of Jesus Christ Has Influenced And Charged Millions Of People And Are Still Inspiring. The Teaching And Philosophy Discerned Across The Four Gospels According To Matthew, Mark, Luke And John Have Stirred The Philosophical Perspective Of Muni Narayana Prasad And It Paved The Way For Him Making A Gospel Commentary In The Light Of Indian Philosophy, Advaita Vedanta. In His Scholarly Attempt, The Author Has Brought An Apocryphal Gospel Of Thomas Too Into Its Ambit. Though The Words Of Wisdom Revealed By Jesus Across These Gospels Differ In Language And Style From Indian Vedanta, They Reveal The Same Wisdom Or Supreme Happiness That The Vedanta Philosophy Talks About. In This Book, The Author Has Attempted To Explain The Wisdom Found In One Cultural Frame Of Reference As Found In The Other. That Is, The Teachings Of Jesus Christ Are Elucidated In Terms Of The Characteristics Of Advaita Vedanta. Jesus, Seen Across These Gospels, Always Maintains His Position Of An Enlightened Seer (Rishi). Thus The Author Calls Him A SadGuru. The Author Contends That From The Gospel Accounts One May Perceive, In JesusS Life And Words, The Same Absolutist Vision That Underlies The Teachings Of Advaita Vedanta. Echoing Interreligious Harmony, The Author Invites The NonChristians To Visit The Great Enlightened Guru In Jesus And The Christians To Imbibe The Spirit Of Advaita Vedanta In JesusS Teachings. A MustCollect, The Book Should Find Favour With The Spiritual Gurus, Philosophers, And All ProgressiveThinking Persons Across Religions.
