Torah-Veda

An Interspiritual Journey
Find Your Inspiration and Follow It

WELCOME TO TORAH-VEDA

Torah and Veda are two ancient sources of spirituality still vibrant today. Torah is conveyed through the sacred language of Hebrew and Veda is conveyed through the sacred language of Sanskrit. The focus here is on meditation, mysticism, philosophy, psychology and the underlying spirituality that has been incorporated into religions, and not as much on the religions themselves. Your comments and posts are welcome.

Quote of the Week 419 - Listening/Hearing for Non-material Sustenance


Every one who is thirsty, come and drink. He who has no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good. Let your soul delight in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, that your soul will live…


--Isaiah 55:1-3, The Living Torah translation by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan

YOGA AND JUDAISM, SECOND EDITION Coming Soon

I apologize for not posting much new content on the blog in recent weeks. I have been very busy working on the finishing touches for a revised and expanded Second Edition to Yoga and Judaism. I have also been working on a new book project, but that is probably several months away from possible publication. However, YOGA AND JUDAISM, SECOND EDITION, should be ready for publication within the next two or three weeks if all goes well. It will first be available only through lulu, the publisher, but a few more weeks out, as it makes its way through the distribution process, it should become available through online retailers such as Amazon, Borders, Barnes and Noble. So keep your eyes peeled for the announcement!

Quote of the Week 98 - The Universal Truth

Throughout the ages, spiritual masters have walked among humanity, reminding us that we are divine embodiments in physical form. Each has revealed the universal truth that we are more than our bodies, more than our minds, more than our daily tasks, more than our relationships with others. Each has shared with those with whom they have come into contact that love is our essence, that suffering is our challenge, and that there is a power in each of us that may be revealed to bring us peace, joy, and the realization of heaven on earth, right here and right now.
