Synopsis by Rose of Sharon Winter

This program features spiritual student Robert Fraser, who weaves a story of the common threads of three mystical traditions. Drawing on yoga as taught by Paramanhansa Yogananda, a Turkish order of Sufism, and Japanese Aikido, Fraser explains the many similarities in these diverse spiritual traditions. He shows how each of the disciplines uses techniques to help the student in finding the Self at the center of one's being.
