Bücher von Nathan Vanek

A fascinating, often humorous and brutally honest look at the journey of a monk, a yogi, specifically focusing on the sexual component to a spiritual life. Vanek had spent seven years as a Vippassana Buddhist Bikkhu and over forty years as a Bramachari Yogi. He lived in the mid-ranges of the Himalayas studying, teaching and running a business in religious icons for over twenty-five years. ''Unprotected Sects'' is both his story and a description of the celibate-bramachari lifestyle he embraced. While people have many ideas about bramacharya, Vanek attempts to describe the reality, along with the rewards and possible pitfalls..
