Paperback. Condition: New. Deriving from the Indian Atharvaveda, one of the oldest books of mankind, Hymn to the Earth forms part of the extensive Vedic scriptures of Hinduism. With its great veneration of divinity and the natural world, the richness and beauty of its pictures and the profundity of its thoughts, it continues to speak to us all these years later through its lively poetic movement. As Hermann Beckh says in the introduction: 'No doubt we are dealing here with a most precious piece of a most ancient poetic work of humanity. Quite possibly, we could call this Hymn to the Earth the oldest modern poetical work, or the most modern piece of ancient poetry.' In his extensive editorial commentary, Beckh - who translated the ancient text into German in 1934 - explains how this document of primordial human civilization, originating well before the Christian age, contains much that is of significance to present times. Indeed, it pre-echoes, in veiled form, 'the Christ-Mysteries'. This inspiring rendering in English by Alan and Maren Stott, which includes the whole of the enchanting Hymn, captures something of the spirit of Hermann Beckh's acclaimed translation.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Many people who are drawn to Buddhism today are seeking for spiritual knowledge as opposed to simple faith or sectarian belief. Hermann Beckh had a profound personal connection to the Buddhist path and the noble truths it contains, yet he was also dedicated to a radical renewal of Christianity. Assimilating the groundbreaking research of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), Beckh's comprehension of Buddhism was neither limited to historical documents nor scholarly research in philology. Rather, from his inner meditation and spiritual understanding, he saw the earlier great world religions as waymarks for humanity's evolving consciousness. In the modern world, the apprehension of Christianity needed to be grounded firmly in a universally-valid, inner cognition and experience: `In this light, knowledge becomes life.'Hermann Beckh - Professor of Tibetan Studies and Sanskrit in Berlin, subsequently a founding priest of The Christian Community - first published this mature study in 1925. Having already produced the comprehensive Buddha's Life and Teaching in 1916, Beckh's sweeping perspectives combined with his extensive academic knowledge provided a unique grounding for authoring this work. As he notes, From Buddha to Christ follows a path of development, `both of method and goal'. Thus, studying this book is itself a path of knowledge and potential initiation. Beckh's universal insights remain relevant - and if anything have gained in value - to twenty-first century readers.This edition features an additional essay, `Steiner and Buddha: Neo-Buddhist Spiritual Streams and Anthroposophy' (1931), in which Beckh, for the first and last time, explains his lifelong personal connection to the Buddhist path.`Christianizing the Buddha's impulse at the same time broadens the Christian horizon.' - Hermann Beckh.…
