Michael Sowder - Sacred Letters: Sanskrit, Yoga, and Awakening the Divine

These original meditations on the Sanskrit letters range from personal narratives to metaphysical and theological speculations, linguistic play, and inter-spiritual allusions to other works and traditions, all relevant to living a contemplative life in the contemporary world.

Michael Sowder’s book is anchored in the devotional Tantrik, Saiva-Sakta tradition, focused on the Divine Feminine, but allusions to Western mystics (Christian, Jewish, Muslim) also appear frequently. No other book like this exists.
