God's Great Tradition of Global Wisdom: Guru Yoga-Satsang in the Integral Age

Product Description FULL-COLOR VERSION: A guide to a deeper understanding of the world's great Global Wisdom Tradition of Humankind by examining its true core: the God-Realized Adepts - or Gurus - who, for one, founded all the major religions plus they teach and transmit to everyone the truth of our own inherent divinity - that we are God - and how we may become Enlightened and evolve through the Stages of Life happily with wisdom and love. This book focuses on two of the world's greatest spiritual philosophers of the new millennium, one a genuine Guru, the other an integral philosopher-psychologist (or pandit) who will be talked about and read for generations to come since their writings exceed all others of their age: Adi Da Samraj and Ken Wilber. This book is an integration of their two models of developmental growth to Enlightenment while highlighting Avatar Adi Da as being an authentic Guru-Adept available for the sacred and transformative relationship of Satsang (or Guru Yoga) for each and every individual across the globe in service to their Enlightenment and God-Realization. Review Finally! Someone has provided an in-depth and accessible overview of Adi Da's corpus and Teachings of the Heart. Brad Reynolds' God's Great Tradition of Global Wisdom is an amazing tour de force providing an integral examination of one of the most important and often overlooked enlightened masters of our time - and some would say of all time. Reynolds' book is equal parts devotion, erudite scholarship, and aesthetic experience (via its amazing charts and images). Thus, making it a powerful transmission of the Good, True, and Beautiful in its own right. I can think of no better book to introduce the unique teachings and realization of The Bright to a whole new generation of scholars and practitioners.-Sean Esbjörn-Hargens, PhD, Dean of Integral Education, California Institute for Human Science, Co-editor Metatheory for the 21st Century, Founder of MetaIntegralBrad Reynolds' magnum opus, God's Great Tradition of Global Wisdom, is a treasure trove of spiritual insight based on a lifetime of study and practice.

May the heart-essence of the great wisdom traditions, so beautifully outlined in this book, spread far and wide until every last being has come to know their true identity in God-Realization.-Dustin DiPerna, author of Streams of Wisdom, Evolution's Ally, Purpose Rising: A Global Movement of Transformation and Meaning"A Tour de Force" is the best way to describe the great work that Brad Reynolds has done with God's Great Tradition of Global Wisdom. Of course, much of this depth and penetrating wisdom is achieved by drawing heavily on the Teachings he elucidates and illustrates, especially the Sage wisdom of Avatar Adi Da. Not only will the reader find a high-class education of a host of traditions, they will be treated to a panoply of fabulous, easy-to-grasp illustrations and images. A MUST for any student of the Great Tradition of humankind's spiritual inheritance.-Frank Marrero, author of Recollections of Sokrates, The View from Delphi, and A Monkey's Tale for the Divine PersonThis book defies many taboos. It unpacks the great tradition of spiritual transmission and the unique critical role of truly enlightened beings. And it advocates, in a full-throated and whole-hearted manner, for my Root-Guru, Adi Da Samraj, in a way that stands in that larger universal great tradition. We're all social creatures, who have internalized these taboos, so some readers may have reactions, and it may be necessary to persist despite them. But if you do, with an open mind and heart, this book will help you to recognize something profoundly important.-Terry Patten, A New Republic of the Heart, co-author, Integral Life PracticeGod's Great Tradition of Global Wisdom takes us on a brief tour of the
