Religious Mysticism: SUFISM, CHRISTIAN MYSTICS, AND HINDU YOGIS (Spiritual depth experiences) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798271306037)

RELIGIOUS MYSTICISM
Sufism, Christian Mystics, and Hindu Yogis
(Spiritual Depth Experiences)

Throughout the world's religions, there have always been seekers who look beyond ritual and doctrine to experience direct union with the Divine. Religious Mysticism explores these deep spiritual paths through the lives and teachings of mystics across faiths-from the ecstatic poetry of Sufi masters like Rumi and al-Hallaj to the contemplative visions of Christian saints such as Teresa of Ávila and John of the Cross, and the meditative insights of Hindu yogis and sages.

The book traces how mysticism arises within different religious contexts yet leads toward similar experiences of transcendence, love, and inner illumination. It explains how mystics use prayer, meditation, music, and silence to go beyond the boundaries of words and intellect, seeking direct awareness of ultimate reality. Readers will also discover how mystical traditions have influenced theology, art, and culture, while at times being misunderstood or even opposed by religious authorities.

Written in clear and accessible language, Religious Mysticism reveals the common threads that connect spiritual seekers across traditions-detachment from ego, longing for divine presence, and the transformative power of love. It also explores how modern practitioners continue to draw from ancient mystical wisdom to find peace, meaning, and connection in a fast-changing world.

Ideal for readers interested in spirituality, comparative religion, or the inner dimensions of faith, this book offers an inspiring journey into the heart of mysticism-where the soul meets the Infinite in silence, devotion, and awe.
