Hindu Thought and Carmelite Mysticism

This study in comparative mysticism (originally given as lectures at the

Sorbonne) explores the relationship between Hindu mystics (notably Shankara

and Sri Ramakrishna) and Christian Carmelite mystics (notably St. John of

the Cross), using jnana, bhakti, and raja yogas as a basis for comparison

as well as the sacred scriptures of both traditions.
