THE CIRCLE OF FIRE by Dr. P. J. Mazumdar

by Dr. P. J. Mazumdar
(India)

P. J. Mazumdar is uniquely positioned to bridge the contemporary sciences and the ancient philosophical systems of India. Both a medical doctor and a member of a family whose traditions can be dated back over hundreds of years, Mazumdar is not afraid to ask the big questions, “What is God?” and “What is the meaning of human life?”—and answer them from his singular perspective.

THE CIRCLE OF FIRE grapples with an exhilarating array of eternal metaphysical riddles and provides a broad examination of the Indian philosophy of Advaita Vedanta and the related path
of yoga from a scientific viewpoint. With a comparison and analysis of the insights gained by Western science and Eastern mysticism, The Circle
of Fire will appeal to anyone seeking a spiritual path that is compatible with modern rational thinking.

P. J. MAZUMDAR is a surgeon in Guhawati, India. Originally from Hajo, an ancient pilgrimage center for Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims, his family has been part of the traditional administration of the famous “Hayagrib Madhob” temple, parts of which date back to the sixth century.
