Vedantic Shores Press- Spiritual Literature for Our Times

"At its core, no religion can be unique because of the universal nature of Truth. Truth
can't be confined to a single channel. The same mystical strain, the same subterranean
currents flow through the phenomena of all religions."      - Paul Hourihan, Ph.D.

Dr. Paul Hourihan makes the elevating ideas of mysticism* found in all the scriptures more accessible by showing their practicality and relevance. One way he does this is through spiritual biographies that explore the mysticism in the lives of well-known figures such as: Ramakrishna and Christ; literary mystics such as Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and William Blake,** and other potential mystics such as Ralph Waldo Emerson,** Thomas Merton and Bill Wilson, the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Our hope is that this literary treasure trove of spiritual inspiration and guidance will help bring readers closer to the shores of SELF-realization.
