From the Author
I knew from the beginning that to know God directly was not possible for me. There were two ways for me to approach Him: One was to meditate on all His revelations – all living forms, such as trees, stars, rivers, men, oceans, etc. – because I thought that all manifestation is His revelation. The second was to meditate upon names given to Him by all people everywhere.
Once when I was studying Sufism I read about “the hundred names of God.” They impressed me so much that I studied them for a long time until I discovered that these hundred names could synthesize all names given in the Vedas.
Modern man has forgotten the inspiring, uplifting, transforming names of God. Instead he has created the golden calf – sex, money, power, bombs.
It is time that the Gods of all countries be united.
In meditating upon these hundred names of God, we may build in our psyche an inner telescope to look beyond the darkness of our spiritual ignorance and discover the glory shining in Inifnity.
From the Inside Flap
How profound it is to be occupied with the names of God! We say that God has names, but in reality He has no name. How can we define something or give a name to what is nameless and is so great and so big, so deep and so vast that our names cannot fit Him?
Yet each name of God opens a new window within our consciousness to look at Infinity, hear the call of Infinity, and respond to Infinity through striving toward perfection. Each day of our life we must try to transcend ourselves and feel His Presence every minute of our life.
