I have been at this sort of thing for quite some time (40-some years in my case); in all of the reading I have done, I have never come across not only a work on a particular spiritual practice so thoroughly explained in terms of theory, so to speak, or scriptural validation, but which also gives a complete and easily implemented guide to the mechanics of the practice itself. ...I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone who truly desires to get to the heart of meditation practice. -Robert ArcontiThis book is literally a course of its own, complete with lessons, practices and experiments to help improve your life and ease your struggle, regardless of your background. I highly recommend it. -Carl McGowanThe feeling one gets from reading Om Yoga Meditation is like watching a series of glowing lanterns floating silently toward you in the dark, on a deep and powerful current. -Reverend Gerry Nangle

Author Information

Abbot George Burke (Swami Nirmalananda Giri) is the founder and director of the Light of the Spirit Monastery (Atma Jyoti Ashram) in Cedar Crest, New Mexico, USA. In his many pilgrimages to India, he had the opportunity of meeting some of India's greatest spiritual figures, including Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh and Anandamayi Ma. During his first trip to India he was made a member of the ancient Swami Order by Swami Vidyananda Giri, a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, who had himself been given sannyas by the Shankaracharya of Puri, Jagadguru Bharati Krishna Tirtha. In the United States he also encountered various Christian saints, including Saint John Maximovich of San Francisco and Saint Philaret Voznesensky of New York. He was ordained in the Liberal Catholic Church (International) to the priesthood on January 25, 1974, and consecrated a bishop on August 23, 1975. For many years Abbot George has researched the identity of Jesus Christ and his teachings with India and Sanatana Dharma, including Yoga. It is his conclusion that Jesus lived in India for most of his life, and was a yogi and Sanatana Dharma missionary to the West. After his resurrection he returned to India and lived the rest of his life in the Himalayas. He is the author of a number of books on meditation and practical spiritual life, including Om Yoga Meditation: Its Theory and Practice, The Dhammapada for Awakening, The Gospel of Thomas for Awakening, May a Christian Believe in Reincarnation?, and The Christ of India: The Story of Saint Thomas Christianity. He has written extensively on these and other topics at www.OCOY.org/
