Man, Son of Man
By Sri Madhava Ashish
This is a companion volume to Man, the Measure of All Things (by Sri Krishna Prem and Sri Madhava Ashish), which dealt with the Stanzas of Dzyan relating to Cosmogenesis as set forth in H.P. Blavatsky’s great work, The Secret Doctrine.
Re-interpreting further Stanzas of Dzyan dealing with Anthropogenesis as a symbolic account of the Spirit’s self-evolution, from the first atomic particles to homo sapiens, the author welds the spiritual facts of the mystical philosophies, the psychic facts of the subtle worlds, and the material facts of the sciences into a meaningful whole. Man is not the biological automaton portrayed by science; he is ‘the measure and significance of all existent things’.
What we believe about our origins determines what we believe about our destiny, says the author, and he approaches his subject with the same depth of insight, the same sanity and balance, that characterized the previous work.
