    Guru and Disciple

    In Insights into Initiation , Guénon defines initiation as "essentially the transmission of a spiritual influence." It is this transmission that is the subject of this first issue of Aditi . It explores the tradition of master and disciple and the transmission of sacred knowledge—metaphysical knowledge culminating in self-knowledge but also traditional arts such as Indian dance—in classical and contemporary Hinduism. The next issue will be devoted to Kali Yuga and the Hindu vision of time and history.

    Guru and Disciple

    In Perspectives on Initiation , Guénon defines initiation as “essentially the transmission of a spiritual influence”. This process of transmission is the topic of this first issue of Aditi . It explores the master-disciple tradition and the transmission of Sacred Knowledge – metaphysical science, culminating in self-knowledge but also traditional disciplines such as Indian classical dance – in traditional and contemporary Hinduism. The next issue will treat the question of the Kali Yuga and the Hindu conception of time and history.
