The Quest of All Ages - Paperback

by Maha Devi Li Ra La (Author)

Set against the war-prone and volatile times of ancient Magna Graecia, this uplifting tale portrays the transcendental love between a Lucanian princess and her merman prince lover. Both, expected to marry from among their own races, decide to follow their oracle and spiritual advisor's guidance instead and set out on a life-transforming journey that will bring them to the brink of human perseverance and faith, in the hope of being able to unite in the heavenly abode of the Olympian Gods. In this first book of the multi-volume grand saga, Within the Ocean of Eternal Love, entitled The Quest of All Ages, the two lovers defy the rules and confines of a compromised reality to venture into the depths of the humanly impossible. Quickened by their endless love for one another, they startle and inspire their family and friends with their superhuman courage and ingenious plan to win the support of the Olympian Gods and Goddesses for the ultimate quest any soul can aspire to accomplish: complete self-mastery and unification with the other half of the soul, one's eternal soulmate! Maha Devi Li Ra La's writing weaves itself like an ethereal tapestry throughout the story, stylishly combining powerful spiritual knowledge with factual historic events into a language that is reminiscent of consciousness itself, vibrating with the aliveness of the laws of nature that underlie all of creation and that lend their synchronistic rhythms and cadences to this 'out of this world' story as if it were a poem springing from the mouth of the Divine itself.
