Rama and Moses: The Aryan Cycle and the Mission of Israel is a book written by Edouard Schure. The book explores the similarities and differences between two great figures in religious history: Rama, the hero of the Hindu epic Ramayana, and Moses, the prophet who led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. The author argues that these two figures represent different aspects of a larger spiritual cycle that has played out throughout human history, and that their stories contain important lessons for modern readers.Schure begins by tracing the origins of the Aryan cycle, which he describes as a series of spiritual ages that have unfolded over thousands of years. He argues that Rama represents the ideal of the Aryan warrior, while Moses embodies the prophetic tradition that arose in the Middle East. Despite their differences, Schure sees both figures as exemplars of a spiritual quest for truth and justice that continues to this day.Throughout the book, Schure draws on a wide range of sources to support his arguments, including ancient texts, religious traditions, and historical accounts. He also offers his own interpretations of key events and themes, such as the role of sacrifice in both Hindu and Jewish traditions, and the importance of spiritual discipline in achieving enlightenment.Overall, Rama and Moses: The Aryan Cycle and the Mission of Israel is a thought-provoking exploration of two of the world's great religious traditions, and the ways in which they intersect and diverge. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of religion, spirituality, and philosophy.1923. Translated by F. Rothwell.
