Contrariamente a quanto si potrebbe pensare il Diavolo non e' un'invenzione cristiana: tutte le culture più antiche infatti hanno elaborato figure antagoniste rispetto alle divinita' positive.

Registrazione della conferenza tenuta a Firenze nel 2009 da Marco Ferrini, direttore del Centro Studi Bhaktivedanta, nella quale l'esperto di cultura vedica crea un affascinante parallelo tra la prima grande opera della letteratura italiana e il poema sacro più importante dell'epica induista. Divina Commedia e Bhagavad-Gita, universali monumenti del pensiero occidentale e orientale, dialogano tra loro, svelando inattese analogie tra le due culture, solo apparentemente distanti.

Il libro mette a confronto i passi del vangelo con i passi del Dhammapada, mettendo in risalto sorprendenti similitudini. L'affinitá piú sorprendente fra Gesú e il Buddha riguarda il concetto di amore: entrambi, infatti, predicano la Regola d'Oro, in base a cui ogni uomo deve trattare il suo prossimo come se stesso. Molte delle piú note affermazioni di Cristo, in ordine al fatto di porgere l'altra guancia, di amare i propri nemici; nonchè l'idea che chi di spada ferisce, di spada perisce, si rispecchiano nelle parole del Buddha.

Martigli, da sempre appassionato studioso di religione e mistero, affronta l'argomento con lo spirito del cronista e dello storico che scopre i fatti e li registra, senza pronunciare giudizi. La penna è la sua videocamera.

Duemila anni di monoteismo ci hanno abituato a ritenere che Dio non possa essere se non unico, esclusivo, vero. Al contrario, il politeismo antico prevedeva la possibilità di far corrispondere fra loro dèi e dèe appartenenti a culture diverse (la greca Artemis alla romana Diana, l'egizia Isis alla greca Athena), ovvero di accogliere nel proprio pantheon divinità straniere. Questa disposizione all'apertura ha fatto sì che il mondo antico non abbia conosciuto quella violenza a carattere religioso che invece ha insanguinato, e spesso ancora insanguina, le culture monoteiste.
