Anastasia (English, Paperback, Megre Vladimir)

Anastasia is a book on new age and spirituality by Ukrainian author Vladimir Megre. Anastasia is the first novel of the Ringing Cedars Series of Megre. This book discusses Megre's business journey recollections in the Siberian taiga, where he travelled to in the year 1995. There, he experienced unbelievable spiritual phenomena joined with holy ringing cedar trees and he spent three days with a lady called Anastasia. She apparently took him deep into the Siberian taiga, where she shared her thoughts on diverse topics like Man's relationship to Nature, the Universe and God, as well as lifestyle, education, nutrition, spirituality, love, family, and sexual relations. This unique time period he spent with her influenced Vladimir very gravely. It made him put aside his business related plans and leave for Moscow to meet Anastasia's wishes by writing a book about the spiritual outlooks that she discussed with him.

Vladimir Megre was born in the year 1950 in Ukraine. He is best known as a Siberian entrepreneur and the man behind the Ringing Cedars Movement. As a teenager, he is known to have made intermittent visits to a monk named Father Feodorit at the Trinity-Sergiev Monastery, east of Moscow. Megre claims a tête-à-tête with a unique lady called Anastasia near the bank of the River Ob, in the year 1994. Her philosophical insights became the foundation for his series, The Ringing Cedars of Russia. Megre's ideas are based on a co-operative relationship with nature along with sustainable rural settlements involving separate family owned dwellings.
