More than ever before, we in the West are discovering the value and
practicality of the teachings of the East. In this book Paul
Hourihan, who was a long-time American student of Vedanta, presents
the venerable Indian teachings of Vedanta with illustrations and
examples that make sense of them to Westerners in particular. In
his own inimitable way, he shows how the profound, yet practical,
teachings of Vedanta, one of the main schools of thought in
Hinduism, give meaning and understanding to our lives. This study
includes an overview of the mysticism of India, and provides a
summary of the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga system of thought. Using
the teachings of the Upanishads, Dr Hourihan covers the main
principles of this perennial philosophy and the core concepts that
flow from them. The last section demonstrates the universality of
these teachings through confirmations from the masters of other
spiritual traditions -- Lao Tzu, Meister Eckhart, Plotinus, and the
Sufis of Islam. Over a period of 15 years Dr Hourihan gave many
courses and talks on the world's mystical traditions, including the
Vedanta philosophy. This book is derived from transcripts of these
lectures. With a strong experiential background and lifelong
interest in the field of mysticism, along with a Ph.D. in
Literature, Hourihan, an American, was well qualified to introduce
these ancient teachings to Western readers looking for guidance and
personal transformation. As Robert Ellwood, Distinguished Emeritus
Professor of Religion, University of Southern California, states
"Children of Immortal Bliss is a splendid introduction to Vedanta
for the average person, presenting this Indian tradition simply,
and with the use of ideas and illustrations that will make sense of
it to a wide audience". The practical application of this
philosophy is the means for those of all faiths to realise their
identity as Children of Immortal Bliss.
