Descriere: The book ""Lectures of the Arya"" by Albert Pike is a collection of lectures on the ancient Vedic religion and philosophy of India, delivered by the author in the mid-19th century. The Arya were the ancient people of India who developed the Vedic religion and wrote the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism. In this book, Pike explores the fundamental teachings of the Arya and their relevance to modern society. He discusses the nature of the divine, the soul, the afterlife, and the ethical principles that guide human behavior. He also delves into the practices of meditation, yoga, and other spiritual disciplines that were central to the Arya's way of life.Pike's lectures are insightful and thought-provoking, drawing on his extensive knowledge of Eastern philosophy and religion. He presents a comprehensive overview of the Arya's worldview, emphasizing the importance of spiritual growth and self-realization. Overall, ""Lectures of the Arya"" is a fascinating exploration of one of the world's oldest and most influential spiritual traditions. It offers valuable insights into the nature of consciousness, the human condition, and the pursuit of enlightenment.Pike knew that our language, philosophy, religions, are traceable to the Aryans, Indo and Irano, and he has presented to our view, through the Lectures, the emigration and last division of the race, their country, character and manners, their language, their deities, and legends. �������Of the work, Pike himself said: �������Oldest literary monuments and records of human thought in the world and as the source and origin of the great philosophical doctrines of the world, but also, and far more, because they make known to us a sublime theosophy and purely philosophic faith believed in and understood by men of our own blood and lineage at a very remote period when they dwelt near the cradle of the race.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
