Book Description

Soul Journey from Lincoln to Lindbergh is based on the words of a great master of yoga, Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi. Yogananda said that Abraham Lincoln had been a Himalayan yogi in a past life, and that he reincarnated as Charles Lindbergh. Taking this statement as a hypothesis, Richard Salva studied the lives and writings of Lincoln and Lindbergh, searching for links between these two American heroes and the ancient teachings of yoga. Salva uncovered hundreds of significant connections that span every aspect of human nature: resemblances in their physical forms, thoughts, feelings, spiritual aspirations, friendships, and the circumstances and events of their lives. The ties between them shed light on karma and reincarnation, making them vividly real.Part One of Soul Journey explores the direct connections between Lincoln and Lindbergh. Part Two considers how their personalities and characters show signs of a past-life familiarity with the teachings of yoga. The connections are drawn through paired stories from the lives of both men.
