Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Ramakrishna: four of the world's most interesting and challenging spiritual masters. The core of their most important teachings - along with annotations from expert scholars and introductions from Andrew Harvey, one of the great spiritual thinkers of our time - now are all in one beautiful volume. "A Walk With Four Spiritual Guides" contains selections from four classic texts: Bhagavad Gita (Krishna), Dhammapada (Buddha), The Gospel of Thomas (Jesus) and Selections from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (Ramakrishna). The selections focus on the inspiring themes of devotion and selfless action; serenity and the mind; mysticism and the individual's search for answers; and the direct path to the Divine. Andrew Harvey's warm and personal introduction to each guide offers his own experiences of learning from their wisdom. Andrew Harvey was born in India and educated at Oxford. He has devoted more than twenty-five years to study and writing on the world's spiritual and mystical traditions.
He collaborated with Sogyal Rinpoche on "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" and is the author of more than thirty books himself, including "The Direct Path: Creating a Journey to the Divine" through the "World's Mystical Traditions". He is series editor of the "SkyLight Paths Illuminations" series.
