Product Description:
THE SPIRITUAL BIBLE
"I am searching for the Light... not the light made by man, but the Light that made man."
"Know that it was but one god who died on the cross, and many are waiting to be born."
THE EPIC OF ARYA is about man's eternal quest for the divine. It depicts man's perennial inner struggle between light and darkness, and teaches him to re-conquer his lost divinity by unveiling the "god within", the Inner Light. Overcoming the "death of God" declared by Nietzsche, THE EPIC OF ARYA speaks about the redemption of the divine and its rebirth in man. To redeem God in men: that is Arya's sacred mission.
Half-woman, half-goddess, Arya is torn between Love and Truth, between passion and duty. Confused, she wonders: should she accept her human plight, or fulfil her divine destiny? A fundamental question ever haunts her: is Love human or divine? In that fateful question lies the future of humanity, for in each man, the divine flame slumbers, waiting to be kindled by the Light of Awakening. Rising above her fears, and breaking her idols, Arya, awakened and liberated, preaches the Eternal Religion which is above men's fleeting religions, narrow identities, and imperfect creeds, heralding a new, higher consciousness beyond the frontiers erected within man and between men.
An inner journey of self-discovery, this inspirational, allegorical novel is the spiritual bible: it heals, awakens, transforms. Arya's epic conveys a universal message of unity, hope, and salvation in a world torn apart by the clash of civilisations and religions, offering a spiritual alternative to the two scourges plaguing mankind today: the scourge of religious fundamentalism - God idolatry - and the scourge of atheist materialism - God denial -, for only a spiritual awakening can save man from his own blind folly.

Spirituality and religion are dividing things. "The Epic of Arya" is the story of a half-goddess who finds herself challenged with love, and the polarizing views of the world on faith where people of the faith go to one extreme and atheists go to the other extreme. Tasked with restoring humanity's faith in the divine and finding where her love lies, "The Epic of Arya" is an entertaining story that asks some thought-provoking questions.

If Nietzsche, in his "Zarathustra", spoke of Eternal Recurrence as the Law of Nature and the souls, meaning that Man, like the seasons' cycle, shall ever return to live the same life and accomplish his higher destiny, one can say that the spirit of Nietzsche itself has come back to speak its complete word in Abir Taha's book "The Epic of Arya: In Search of the Sacred Light."
Still, instead of Nietzsche's "Speak your word and break", Arya's word makes the wings of your soul spread in ... Read More

(Quotes from "The Epic of Arya")
"Alas! The god in man remains a child waiting to mature. Shall man grow into a god, or is he doomed in his humanity?" This question, posed in the prologue of Abir Taha's inspirational new philosophical novel, The Epic of Arya: ... Read More

This is a beautifully written allegorical tale the half-women, half-goddess Arya who finds herself incarnated in our modern world where all things divine have been lost as the twin evils dogmatic religion and atheistic materialism consume the earth and render her people weak willed slaves. Her search for the Sacred Light reveals a rift within her soul as she's torn between an outer quest to seek her lost children of light, the Higher Man, and an inner search to rediscover the divinity within.
