Kundalini Splendor

Andrew Harvey is one of the most remarkable spiritual teachers of our time. Born in India, he was sent back to England for his schooling, end ended up being the youngest don ever appointed to be a professor in his college at Oxford. But Andrew was not contented with the purely academic life, with its often sterile and condescending approach to learning. He yearned for a more spiritual connection, and began a profound spiritual journey that continues to this day. He is now a celebrated teacher and writer who has literally touched thousands of others with his message of the need for connection with the forces of the divine and the need for each of us to take action in the face of our present world predicament. He has also helped many beginning writers and teachers to fulfill their dreams, and yours truly is one who has benefited from his efforts, for he encouraged me to write and he contributed introductions to the first two books I published.

Here is his newletter for this month, available on his website, AndrewHarvey.net
The first entry is dedicated to Stephanie Marohn's new book that I highlighted a few days ago. One of Andrew's primary causes is the animal kingdom, now so threatened by human usurpation and destruction of their essential habitats

Here is Andrew's message for this month:.

February 2012

Dear Friends,

I am writing to you from my log cabin in the Ozarks, which continues to bring great peace and joy to my life. I have been traveling a lot, but knowing this calm awaits me has restored my heart and mind.

I am delighted and honored to be able to recommend with all my heart the great new book by Stephanie Marohn: What the Animals Taught Me: Stories of Love and Healing from a Farm Animal Sanctuary. This is one of the best books I have ever read on the way animals open our hearts and teach us unforgettable lessons about life. Stephanie is a great Sacred Activist who has poured all of her resources and passion into creating a sanctuary for animals, and this book has, as you will see, been deeply recommended by all the major figures in the world of animal rights, including Jane Goodall. This is a book written with a heart-stopping purity and simplicity and can be read by anyone at any age with great joy.

Nothing is more important for human survival than establishing a humble, authentic relationship with the animal world. It is people like Stephanie who - at great personal cost and sacrifice - are pioneering for us this sacred relationship. Please do everything you can to support her book and her sanctuary.

With my great friend Ludwig Max Fischer, whose magnificent translations of Herman Hesse's Seasons of the Soul I recommended last month, I recorded an 80-minute video that celebrates Hesse's extraordinary wisdom and the relevance of its truth to our times. Max is a true genius and in these linked videos you will discover some very profound inspiration for getting through our harsh times with sober grace and illumined calm.
