Ashrams in Europe 2500 years ago? Meditation classes in ancient Rome? Greek philosophers studying in India? First century vegetarians? It sounds unbelievable, but there is impressive historical evidence of spiritual practices in the ancient Western world paralleling the yoga tradition of India. In fact, there are historical accounts by the ancient Greeks themselves describing their encounters with enlightened masters of the East.

You've already heard about the yogis of India. Now it's time to learn about the ancient sages of your own Western wisdom tradition. Linda Johnsen brings these lost masters back to life, and challenges everything you thought you knew about the men and women who founded Western civilization.

Learn about the amazing historical contacts between the ancient Greeks and Himalayan yogis.
Explore teachings of karma and reincarnation as they were originally taught throughout the ancient Western world.
Practice the style of meditation taught in the Roman Empire two thousand years ago.

Lost Masters goes beyond what you will learn in a classroom, or read in a philosophy textbook. It is an exploration of a deeply rooted Western tradition that bears striking resemblance to the wisdom of Eastern spirituality. Although the Greek sages profoundly influence Western culture and spiritual practice, many of their essential beliefs and practices have been lost in the West. In this book it is easy to see how what they taught is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago.

Industry Reviews
As you read this book, you will not only embark on a journey back in time to the very origin of our civilization but you will also find yourself on a journey without distance into the timeless dimension of who you are. from the foreword by Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now and A New Earth It is a tragedy, and deeply absurd, that we in the West have lost touch with the wisdom of the extraordinary mystics who gave rise to our own civilization. This book is a lively and valuable introduction to that wisdom, and helps open the door again to those mystics and their transformative teachings, which we have been denied access to for so long. Peter Kingsley, author of Reality and In the Dark Places of Wisdom"
