Spiritual Cannibalism

by Swami Rudrananda (Rudi)

   
Spiritual Cannibalism by Swami Rudrananda (Rudi)

In this unique and powerful volume, Rudi explores our basic need to grow and the role played by a teacher or guru in a person's spiritual practice. He dispels common illusions about spirituality and directs us to accept the full challenge of life. Included are a series of techniques that are fundamental to the teaching of this extraordinary spiritual master. Completed shortly before his death in 1973, it is the only book that he wrote and published himself. As such, it is a direct documentation of his intensity and insight and the lived-through experience of the infinite.

The fourth edition reprises the first edition of Rudi's work, with a new foreword by Swami Chetanananda.

"The total person must be consumed to support life in its depth—to allow for creative interchange between one human being and another, and eventually between a human being and God. We cannot limit our intake to the qualities that are 'easy to take.'....Life must be consumed whole—with all its tensions, pain and joy." (page 3)
