The Gospel
According to
Acharya S

"There is a broad, idealistically beautiful vision embodied in this 'Gospel': a vision of a world truly at peace, people truly in harmony with nature"

"The Gospel According to Acharya S makes a clear distinction between true spirituality and what is usually called religion. The jealous, egotistical, ever-praise-hungry Judeo-Christian God is shown to be an extension of human (male) ego, fostering arrogance in his believers who claim that their own religion is the only true one, all others being false and evil. Acharya castigates patriarchal belief systems as the ultimate source of sexism, citing centuries of abuse of women on religious grounds.

"She also demonstrates the highly derivative nature of religious concepts generally assumed to be unique; amusingly debunks the game of bible-based prophecy; discusses the primordial cannibalism underlying communion rites; and demonstrates the cultic nature of so-called mainstream religions. Her book plainly makes the point that religious sects demanding 'tolerance' and 'respect' from the rest of the world are frequently unworthy of either.

"This book endorses the creative variety of spiritual practices around the world, stating that 'Those who narrow down their consciousness to reject the wisdom and perception of all other cultures in favor of their own egotistical and ethnocentric "religious" beliefs are often mean-spirited and poorly educated yet very conceited.' Actually, 'Humankind needs to drop all such ego identifications as nationalism, racism and religionism, when they become divisive.'

"The Gospel is a vision that gives hope for freedom from the emotional shackles of religions, and the dawning of a more rational future."

"There is a broad, idealistically beautiful vision embodied in this 'Gospel': a vision of a world truly at peace, people truly in harmony with nature, and an end to the religious strife and violence that have stained the last two thousand years with horrifying amounts of innocent blood. It is a vision that gives hope for freedom from the emotional shackles of religions, and the dawning of a more rational future."

 "The most truthful piece of spiritual writing I've ever read!"

"I just read your essay titled, 'What is God?' and I'd like to tell you that I found it the most truthful piece of spiritual writing I have ever read. So concise, a real stimulation unhindered by myth, parable and occult symbolism."

Steve R., Australia

 "THE MOST liberating book I've read...ever!"

"I received your book yesterday, and fell asleep in it last night...in a good way 'cause I couldn't put it down! Devoured most of it!

"THE MOST liberating book I've read...ever! My eyes are open wide now!

"Thank You for your Gospel, aka: GOOD NEWS, no...GREAT NEWS!

"You are very intelligent, bold yet subtle, and I love your sense of humor!

"Also, it's obvious—your love for true humanity, and passion, and truth, and well, pretty much all things that pertain to taking one's mind permanently out of the box that we ourselves, with society's help, have huddled in and under for far too long!

"Ok.. back to gobble up the rest! :) good day to you."

"Acharya's vocabulary and choice of words is exquisite..."

"This is an incredibly excellent book! I just finished The Gospel According to Acharya, and it was just 'what the doctor ordered' - just what I needed to add to my ongoing quest for open-minded enlightenment. It not only reinforced my faith in the true hope for freedom of all mankind from the self-shackles of religious dogma, but proved an added foundation block in my own spirituality and quest for a better understanding of what a higher power truly is in my life, as well as a more sensible, factual concept of 'God,' both historically and realistically. The book's grounded logic and well-sourced research did not shake my faith in the mysteries of life; it only served to enhance and personally reinforce it in an entirely new light...."

"One of the best books I have ever read!"

"I finished reading your book The Gospel According to Acharya S and want to tell you that your book is one of the best books I have read. I love what you said that the American Constitution may well be the 'holiest of holies' scriptures. I definitely agree with that. From now on, my 'holy scripture' is the American Constitution that forbids discrimination on the basis of sex and assures justice, liberty, and freedom of speech without censorship. Congratulations for your wonderful book."

"This is one of the best books I have ever read also."

"I put The Gospel of Acharya S on the same great level or better than books such as The God Delusion, God is not Great and Letter to a Christian Nation..."

"I am writing this review as a bedraggled refugee from the "Holy" Roman Catholic Church, now Atheist. Like Acharya S, I have researched the history of the origins of Judeo/Christianity. I am well read in the Bible and know it is all fiction, based on many mythical beliefs...

"I am pleased Acharya S has devoted a good number of chapters to the Holy Roman Catholic Church and its history of atrocities, torture and killings in the name of its "god." So many people know about Islam and its "Holy Jihads" and desire to convert the whole wold to Islam OR ELSE. Not many people know enough about the history of the Roman Catholic Church and its persecution of "Pagans," non-believers and those of its faithful who dare to question the teachings of Holy Mother Church. Acharya S mentions the sorry state the USA is in due to the actions of FundaMENTAList Bible-thumping Christians and how it is just about impossible for an Atheist to be elected to the White House....

 "A must-have for every student of religion!"

"I was raised on the Gospel according to the "Holy Bible," and through a lengthy painful process over the past decade and a half I've extricated myself from that belief system.

"The Gospel According to Acharya S puts into print in a clear, concise, no holds barred manner, many and more of the conclusions I've come to hold dear in my quest to become a free, freethinking individual. Acharya quickly brings to light much of the darkness contained in many of the world's 'holy' texts and gives thinking individuals numerous reasons to disdain the conceptualizations of 'God' which are anti-man, anti-woman, and frankly, anti-human.

"A great introduction to a great scholar's work, an appetizer that leaves me hungry for more, The Gospel According to Acharya S should be on the reading list of every student of religion."
