The Spiritual Crisis in the Modern World
The spiritual crisis of the modern world lies in the fact that a vast majority of us have no awareness of the living presence of the spiritual realm either in the cosmos or in human beings. This is so in spite of the universal testimony of all the sages in the history of humanity that there are many levels of reality, usually called ‘spiritual,’ which are above the physical, biological and mental levels. How to approach levels higher than the mind is a serious question for Philosophy and Science.
Prof. dr. Ravi Ravindra
is a inspiring spiritual teacher, scholar, and leading international speaker on religion, science, and spirituality. A native of India, he emigrated to Canada and is Professor Emeritus at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, where he served as a professor in three Departments: Comparative Religion, Philosophy, and Physics. He is the author of fourteen books on religion, science, mysticism, and spirituality. Ravi Ravindra’s spiritual search has led him to the teachings of J. Krishnamurti, G.I. Gurdjieff, Zen, Yoga and to a deep immersion in the mystical teachings of the Indian and Christian traditions.
