Epistolary biography of a bridge-building 20th century Christian-Hindu spiritual leader
This fascinating biography of Swāmī Abhishiktānanda (Henri Le Saux) is based on a vast collection of letters written to friends and family over his twenty-five years in India.
Swāmī Abhishiktānanda (1910-1973)—a French Catholic monk, who came to India in 1948 and settled there till the end of his life in 1973—was one of the most fascinating spiritual figures of the twentieth century and a bridge-builder between Christian and Hindu traditions. After nineteen years of living in a Benedictine monastery in France, his passionate longing to realize the Truth brought him face-to-face with Indian spirituality and paved the way for him to meet one of the greatest contemporary sages of India, Shri Ramana Maharshi.
This book illustrates the spiritual trajectory of an extraordinary pioneer of interreligious dialogue and a bridge-builder between Christian and Hindu traditions, from his first arrival in South India in 1948 towards his spiritual Awakening in Rishikesh on July 14, 1973.

About the Author
Rev. Dr. James D.M. Stuart (1915-2003) went to India in 1949 to join the Brotherhood of the Ascended Christ (established by the Anglicans in Delhi, in 1877). He became the first Editorial Secretary for ISPCK, a Christian publishing house which he helped develop in India. A close friend of Swāmī Abhishiktānanda, as well as translator and editor of most of his books in English, was the Founder Secretary of the Abhishiktānanda Society, Delhi.
Swāmī Ātmānanda Udāsīn has served as President of the Abhishiktananda Society (2007-2008). He is the Director of the Abhishiktananda Centre for Interreligious Dialogue (Delhi) since 2008 and the spiritual head of Ajatananda Ashram, Rishikesh (North India). Originally from Belgium, he has been living in India since 1997. He teaches about the Direct Path of Non-Duality in the tradition of Advaita Vedanta, and offers Satsangs and retreats in India and internationally. His public teachings on Advaita are available on his YouTube channel which is highly appreciated by spiritual seekers worldwide.
He is also the co-author of the forthcoming title The Call of the Self: Swāmī Abhishiktānanda’s Selected Writings in the Light of his Ultimate Awakening (2025).
