I'm delighted to announce that a new video/DVD featuring me and my work is now available!
The DVD, produced by artist Scott Burdick, can be obtained here:
"Great Minds of Our Time: D.M. Murdock"
Please note that I had little input in the editing process of this video, which represents not a documentary so much as an "artistic expression" by Scott Burdick, and I am therefore not responsible for Scott's narration, image selection, chapter titles or any typos, etc.
However, it is my information and voice, and there are plenty of screenshots of me throughout. Indeed, this two-hour DVD is the distillation of some 12 hours of interviews that covered numerous topics under the sun! If the history of religion and mythology fascinates you, as it does me, you will enjoy this video!
Scott has organized the video into easily accessed chapters following a particular theme, so you can skip around to sample all of the topics. (See the "Table of Contents" below.)
"I just watched 'Great Minds Of Our Times,' absolutely brilliant! You certainly are one of them!"
--Paola Hughson
"I just watched Great Minds of Our Time, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The imagery was awesome, the content fascinating and very informative, and the great mind...beautiful! Excellent...well done, and already expecting/waiting, for a sequel."
--Michael Hauser
"Acharya, I watched your new DVD interview. It was excellent. I just wanted to let you know. I will be recommending it (as I do with your books) to people who inquisitive and need that nudge to break out and spread their wings. :-)"
--Michael Williams
"Many thanks for all your BRIGHT work Acharya! Did enjoy the 2hours DVD today and posted about it on my FB. You are very beautiful and what you are saying is GREAT KNOWLEDGE. Loved also the pictures going along with your words and even your earrings (very lovely :))."
--Ana Maria
All purchases will help spread my work further, as will any word-of-mouth advertising we may receive from good folks passing this post around. Now you can view the fascinating information about the origins of much religion and mythology with your friends and loved ones!
Here's the introduction by Scott on his website:
D.M. Murdock (aka Acharya S) is one of the great scholars of comparative religion and author of five books that explore the evolution of Christianity, the theory of Mythicism, and the latest scholarship of the New Testament. Being an avid reader of history, this is one of the authors I have long admired, so it was an honor to interview her for the very first in this series of interviews I have planned.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with her books, you are in for a treat. No matter what your religious beliefs, you are sure to learn a great deal from listening to someone who has spent decades of researching a subject that has fascinated scholars for all of recorded history.
Complementing the words of this visionary researcher are dozens of my own photographs and even a few paintings that I have gathered from my travels around the world. I hope the combination of new facts, ideas, and images will spur you to look at this subject with new eyes and insights. Your conclusions may not be the same as mine, or Ms. Murdock's, but they are sure to challenge some of the things we've never even thought to question before.
Scott Burdick
Thanks, Scott!

|2011-10-15 11:37:27 Bruce M. Ireland - Origins of Man(kind)Dear Mss. Acharya: I enjoy your website on exposing myths! That is, whether it is the Christian one or others' religious persuasions... My experiences over the last thirty-five years has dealt with Christianity. At one point in my spiritual path I ran across Gnosticism. At first, I only found religious distortions. Which of the myriad Nag Hammadi Codices are genuine?
Studying these Texts are the only ones that explain anything in depth about the origins of the Cosmos and humanity. Please, talk about the"Dead Sea Scrolls": Essenes/Qumran/Nag Hammadi Library. It will be very insightful to have YOUR TAKE on these literary subjects. Thank You, Bruce M. Ireland...bmireland2006@yahoo.com

|2011-12-04 23:38:43 Acharya SThank you for your query and interest. I have written somewhat about the DSS in various books, forums posts and articles. For the latter two types of writing, please do a search on this site, which will pull up all my websites and forums.
You may also wish to search inside my books on Google Books for information about the scrolls.

|2011-11-07 19:14:24 AnonymousGreetings Ms. Murdock
As I posted on your facebook I thoroughly enjoyed your Great Minds DVD. Although it represents mostly a review of topics you have covered in your books, the affable, confident and relaxed manners you convey during the interview are wonderful, and hopefully will serve as one more avenue for the public to get acquainted with your tremendous works, in a very inviting way.
As always, keep doing what you are doing.

|2011-12-04 23:39:40 Acharya SThank you so much for the kind feedback!
If you have an account and feel inclined, perhaps you will write a review of whatever length on Amazon - I'm sure others would appreciate it as well.

|2012-01-02 02:27:48 Carl Sheusi - birth, resurrection and easterHi Acharya,
I've ordered "Christ in Egypt" and I'm looking forward to delving in!! Perhaps this is answered in the book, but if Christ's resurrection is the end of the winter solstice, Dec 25, and this is also considered his date of birth, then what about easter? If easter is the celebration of the resurrection, why is it celebrated months later? Is the moveable date of easter just a date chosen for the celebration, or is it passover, or the vernal equinox, or ???
Thanks so much for all your brilliant and enlightening work!!!!

|2012-02-11 02:49:22 Sarah Davis-BennettBefore I found your books, I had engaged in a personal study of the Origins of Christianity for about 15 years. One book led to another, and I have hundreds of files on various topics. When I found Barbara Walker's Book, A "Women's Enclopedia of Myth's and Secrets", I couldn't put it down. I read it over and over again, reveling in each page. Being a former Lutheran minister who had none of this information in the whole seminary experience, I felt like I had experienced fraud. Your book, "The Christ Conspiracy", put into context the vast quantities of knowlege I had earmarked in Joseph Wheless's book:" Forgery in Christianity: A documented record of the Foundations of the Christian Religion", Taylor's "Diegesis", and Godfrey Higgins "Anacalypsis Part 1 An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis or an Inquiry into the Origin of Languages, Nations and Religions" (1833) Book one and two. Their books in the Kessinger Publishing's Rare Reprints are written in tiny letters, and the language is hard to plod through.
Anyway, I consider you and Barbara Walker to be in a class by yourselves. And I thank you for all your hard work and diligence in pursuing the truth of all these subjects.
I am wondering if you are also an adept in spiritual matters. I am an empath and a "highly sensitive person" who has channeled since my 20's, (I'm 57 now). It morphed into psychic and medium work. (I don't charge) My question is, "What happened to me last night?" I thought I was going to a birthday party. The friend with the birthday actually tricked me into going to a meeting where people gather once a week for "an Openness Blessing", a chakra meditation by an Indian woman on tape, and a 8 bowl crystal bowl event. (All within a room of about 500 sq feet. I stayed to save face because I was concerned aobut raising my energy to a great level. This event lasted 4 hours. Today, I am experiencing a mild biological shock. My body feels like jello and I can't keep my balance. I'm having an emotional experience of anger for being misled that seems rather too intense for my normal affect. Do you know what has happened to me? And, P.S., I have always indulged by learning through authors, not gurus or masters, but would really enjoy being even in e-mail contact with someone who might understand my gifts and how I can use them. Sincerely, Sarah davissja@yahoo.com
