Description

Ashrams in Europe twenty-five hundred years ago? Greek philosophers studying in India? Meditation classes in ancient Rome? It sounds improbable, but it surely’s historically true. Alexander the Great had an Indian guru. Pythagoras, Empedocles, and Plotinus all encouraged their students to meditate. Apollonius, probably the most famous Western sage of the primary century c.e., visited both India and Egypt—and claimed that Egyptian wisdom used to be rooted in India.

In Lost Masters, award-winning creator Linda Johnsen, digging deep into classical sources, uncovers evidence of astonishing similarities between one of the most ancient Western world’s greatest thinkers and India’s yogis, including a belief in karma and reincarnation. Nowadays ancient Greek philosophers are remembered as the founders of Western science and civilization. We’ve forgotten that for over a thousand years they were revered as sages, masters of religious wisdom. Lost Masters is an exploration of our long-lost Western spiritual heritage and the surprising insights it might probably offer us Nowadays.
