Odyssey A Yogic Journey

This book offers a contemplative and transformative reading of the Odyssey through the lens of yoga and non-dual philosophy. Rather than a conventional literary analysis, it approaches Homer’s epic as an inner journey — a symbolic map of the soul. Odysseus becomes the seeker, his trials a path of transformation, and his return to Ithaca a return to the Self. Each episode of the epic is reinterpreted as a stage of spiritual practice (sādhana), revealing deep parallels between Greek myth and yogic wisdom. Concepts such as Ātman, jīva, māyā, and samādhi illuminate the hidden dimensions of the journey, while figures like Penelope, Telemachus, and the suitors emerge as inner forces within the psyche. Bringing together East and West, this work invites the reader not only to understand the Odyssey in a new way, but to recognize it as a living reflection of their own path — a journey of return, awakening, and self-discovery.
