About Vedantic Shores Press
At Vedantic
Shores Press we publish books that can change lives—for those who
are ready for change. At this time of social tumult and transition,
our mission is to provide a spiritual help against the tide of
worldliness that is corrupting and endangering the psyches of
sensitive souls. Our inspired works by writer, teacher and mystic,
Paul Hourihan,
provide an oasis of
spiritual guidance to individuals struggling for permanent values in
an ever-changing, secular society.
These
publications are in different genres (creative nonfiction,
nonfiction books, and novels), and also include
course lectures by Dr. Hourihan, which we are available on CD.
All of our eventual dozen titles taken together constitute a
road map and a light for anyone seeking knowledge of the Divine and Self-discovery.
Their quality and force advance age-old truths that speak directly to
the modern world.
The books, in totality, are like another country―a
Shangri-La of mysticism, a soul-retreat for the world-weary to enter in
and find their lost identity. They open up another realm in a quite
literal sense―the
reader's own as it is reflected back from a mirror mystically created in
page after page, chapter after chapter, book after book.
Paul Hourihan
is uniquely qualified to provide such works by virtue of his literary
and spiritual background.
Vedantic Shores Press is
an independent publishing company created in 2001 and situated in
Redding, the metropolitan marketplace of Northern California, north of
Sacramento.
Three of our titles have
received awards from the Northern California Publishers & Authors
Association.
Mysticism in American Literature: Thoreau's Quest and Whitman's Self,
earned three awards including Bronze Book Award, Best General
Nonfiction, and Best Spiritual Book Awards for 2004-2005.
Our first two titles,
Ramakrishna and Christ The Supermystics: New Interpretations, and
The Death of Thomas Merton, A Novel, received awards for Best
Spiritual Book for 2002 and 2003 respectively.
In keeping with our goal to contribute to the protection of
the environment and the responsible use of natural resources, Vedantic
Shores Press has joined the
Green Press Initiative. As a member we have established policy goals
for the next three years to increase the use of recycled paper and
eliminate the use of papers that may contain fiber from Endangered
Forests. In accordance with our goals, our latest print run of
Children of Immortal Bliss
was printed on 30% FSC recycled paper.
