TAUSHA [Paperback]

Tausha is the true account of the brief life and profound teachings of a Russian mystic and healer during the 1980s, told by a disciple now living in the US. Presenting fascinating and original spiritual teachings, as bizarre as Castaneda’s tales of Don Juan, Tausha is suspenseful and intriguing. It offers insight into the famous “psychic discoveries behind the iron curtain” and the KGB’s nefarious involvement with paranormal phenomena. Its strange tale unfolds during the final decade of the Soviet regime, evoking the struggles of people seeking esoteric knowledge.

Ilia Beliaev was born in 1954 in St. Petersburg (Leningrad). Trained as an artist at the Leningrad Art School and the Leningrad Academy of Fine Arts, he worked in St. Petersburg as an artist and writer until he emigrated to the West. His novel, The Beginning (1978), was published in the Leningrad samizdat magazine, The Clock. In 1979 Ilia met Tausha who became his spiritual teacher and taught him the art of energy healing. From 1980 until the present Ilia Beliaev has practiced what he learned with a private clientele in Russia, Germany, Israel, the USA, and Canada.
