5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on Rastafari, February 24, 2000

Kate (New York City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rastafari: For the Healing of the Nations (Paperback)

This is the best book I have read so far. Since it is written by a Rasta,who is also a professor, the book reveals deeper insights into the Rasta experience. I especially liked the chapter on Ancient Mystic Foundations. There is alot of info here which I haven't read anywhere else. The chapters on herbal meditation and the Chakras can help you on your road to Enlightenment. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Rastafari and to those on the Mystic Path.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are starting to feel this philosofy, read it., January 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Rastafari: For the Healing of the Nations (Paperback)

This book is full of rasta knowledge. Is a great choice among people, who want to know more about rasta, and a little of black history. The author of this book, explains the beggining of a rastaman, and its way to Zion. This a must buy book, just sit down to read, and enjoy the philosophy of life.

This review is from: Rastafari: For the Healing of the Nations (Paperback)

This author knows whats up. Done his soul-searching research on his path. I am only half way through this book, but I had to give it five stars already because it is a revolutionary book. The revelations you will find are infinite. May the healing tao be with you, harvesting healing and peace among all nations. Trust in one love and you can acheive any dream.

The songs, chants, and experiences springing from that divine union of Robert and Rita Marley, more than anything else, mirrors the tempo and the pulse of the musically oriented cultural movement which the Marleys aptly named "The Movement of Jah People" and of which they are leading lights or guiding stars.
