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

Bibliyoga by Marcus Freed

I have come across another site and teacher that I highly recommend for those looking to integrate physical yoga practices with wisdom and spirituality rooted in both the Yoga and Judaism traditions. You can connect to it by clicking on the title of this entry. It is also listed in the “Links” section of this blog. I have come to know Marcus as an international email pen pal through YogaMosaic, another site listed in the “Links” section of this blog (he is based in England). I also subscribed to his free “Kosher Sutras” email list. Quite frankly, when I first heard of his efforts and the name, “Bibliyoga”, my initial reaction was, “great, some more flaky New Age goop” (probably what a lot of people still may think of my work!). But I have found what Marcus is doing to be very genuine and constructed with great care, knowledge and insight. He exhibits a great breadth and depth of knowledge of Yogic and Jewish spirituality and traditions, and has a wonderful ability to express deep spiritual teachings in easily accessible and understandable terms. His optimism, humor and enthusiastic energy is grounded in earthy practicality, and is clearly conveyed in his communications. Marcus has also committed to contributing a piece for a new book I am compiling, hopefully to be published by late Spring, entitled, IVRI: The Essence of Hebrew Spirituality; 21st Century Perspectives on An Ancient Tradition, and I am looking forward to receiving and publishing his contribution. He has recently arrived in the States for an extended stay through August, teaching mostly in New York and Southern California, with stops in Toronto and San Francisco and Hong Kong. You can check his site for dates and locations.
