Rituals as a Path to the Divine
World-renowned photographer, cultural anthropologist, and author Stephen Huyler, Ph.D., has spent a large part of the last three decades traveling throughout India, documenting the craftsmanship and traditions that began centuries ago. His focus during the past decade has been on the sacred arts and spiritual rituals of practical Hinduism.On this audio, you'll meet Dr. Huyler, learn what led him to India, and listen in as he and Deepak Chopra, M.D., clarify the popular misconception that Hinduism is idol worship. "Hinduism is a religion of individual choice," says Huyler. "In my 28 years in India, I have never once been told that I should believe other than what I believe. This is a religion of thousands of years of development, and there are strict dogmas. But the choice of ritual is your own."Through his vivid descriptions of Indian homes, villages, shrines, and deities, Huyler takes you on a guided tour that few are privileged to witness, and none will ever forget.
