Actually about bhakti and orthodoxy/catholicism? Looking for something like christ the eternal tao. Maybe insights into christian esotericism is what I'm looking for? Reason I ask is because I'm excited about what I perceive as similitude between the bhakti interpretation of the Gita (the Iskcon edition) and inner meaning of the gospels.

Bonus question: favourite Gita verse and why?

I like 2.47 because is a simple, memorable formula for the essential wisdom of the text. I think 9.18 is my favourite though, simply because of its sublimity.

Bhagavad Gita as it is. By his Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

This pajeet came to the US at the age of 75, suffered two heart attacks and started a movement that rivaled world jewry second only to the one Hitler started (pbuh)

> Traditionalist School Catholics. Pretty much Guenon but more Christian emphasis. Theory based
Jean Hani - The Symbolism of the Christian temple
Jean Borella - Christ the original mystery

> Full on Hindu - Catholic hybrid. Experience based, with less (although still a bit) of theory.
Essential Writings of Swami Abhishiktananda.
He was a Catholic monk who was sent to India after years living in a French monastery. He pretty much adapted all the Hindu cultural practices, some of the meditation, and met a lot of high ranking Hindus. He ended up living as a hermit in India until his death.

http://www.occult-mysteries.org/saheti/chrishna-jeseus-index.html
>The True Gospel of Chrishna-Jeseus is a facsimile of The Book of Sa-Heti by J. Michaud, PhD, which reveals the secret teachings of Jesus as they were taught by the Hindu Saviour Krishna. The author has taken the many incidents from the life of Krishna that were later incorporated in the New Testament and developed these episodes to explain and elucidate the hidden laws and principles of man and the universe.
