The rich imagery found in the last book of the Christian Bible has been interpreted and reinterpreted over the years through many lenses, including various literal, artistic, symbolic, and spiritual interpretations.
In 1982, at the old Glenview Center of the Himalayan Institute, Swami Rama gave a powerful commentary on the text from the yogic point of view. He described the Revelation or Apocalypse of John as a complete guidebook to the spiritual journey, as one crosses the threshold from the rational mind to the unconscious mind and beyond to the eternal. It represents the highest initiation possible for mankind.
Please join us to hear the words that Swamiji spoke as we open and read from the Book of Revelation. All are welcome.
Jesus: “Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.”
Swami Rama: Revelation is “a universal revelation for humankind.”
Swami Veda: “Revelation is a parable of the spiritual journey and the process of breakthrough and transformation. The passage from one ground to the next is often accompanied by a trial or tribulation. This passage could be from waking to sleeping, waking to meditation, living to dying, or epoch to epoch…”
