Linda Johnsen has uncovered significant parallels between the teachings and the spiritual practices of early Greek Philosophers and enlightened sages of the East. She skilfully ties in concepts of the great religions of the world to the ideology of each great sage. History often swept aside the deep-seated connections between the East and the West, but Johnsen reveals how ideas about Karma, the afterlife, reincarnation and God were taught in the Ancient Western world and how yogic traditions influenced early Greek culture. Linda Johnsen is a leading author in the field of Eastern spirituality. She holds a masters degree in Eastern Studies and Comparative Psychology. She is known for prior titles including "Daughters of the Goddess", "The Women Saints of India" and "A Thousand Suns".

This book ignited my interest in a topic I should have been more interested in as a native Greek. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by E***E on 17 September 2014* Great book would certainly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Lost Masters" is inspiring and well written. *by J***. on 15 December 2014* Many years ago I bought a used book that included the surviving texts of Epicurus, Epictetus, Plotinus, and Marcus Aurelius. Having long been interested in Indian philosophy, I was constantly struck by the similarity between these thinkers and Indian/Yogic ideas (including Advaita Vedanta). Later I read Peter Kingsley's books about Parmenides and Empedocles and was again struck by the connections between these men and the study of consciousness (India). "Lost Masters" is an excellent introduction to the holistic, practical philosophies of the ancient Greek and Mediterranean world, and how well they integrate with ancient Indian thought. I call these philosophies practical because they addressed how man might best live his life so as to achieve wisdom and peace. Like she says in her introduction, Greek philosophy is often presented in very boring ways. Partly this is because such a small subset of the Greek books survived to our times. Also, Christianity (not any Jesus but the Roman church started by Constantine) led to the dumbing down of Europe and the Dark Age prohibition of philosophical investigation. Even the Renaissance took place in a Christian political culture that eschewed or punished truly open philosophical discourse. Though we grew up with the world view that most sophisticated human studies were pretty recent, common sense, the reading ancient Greek and Indian texts, and continuing archeological discoveries (Gobekle Tepe, etc.) indicate that serious human knowledge of many sorts is probably extremely ancient, and that various cataclysmic events probably wiped out entire cultures. There is also increasing evidence that the ancients traded ideas as well as goods over vast distances. "Modern" culture is temporally provincial. It tends to teach that our scientific knowledge makes us superior to the ancients. Yet many of these ancients investigated the human condition and how to achieve liberation from suffering. In our time, most people are philosophically lost and lead lives of quiet desperation. We are blessed that ancient Indian ideas and practices survived the Moslem invasions, and that some of the Greek works survived Christian book burning. "Lost Masters" clearly shows the similarities between ancient Greek and ancient Indian thought, and presents inspiring introductions to some great men of history. I would like to see this book used as a text for Middle and High school students. It is fun to read, food for thought, and makes me aspire to grow spiritually. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/101823497-lost-masters-sages-of-ancient-greece](https://www.desertcart.us/products/101823497-lost-masters-sages-of-ancient-greece) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
