Download Father Bede Griffiths Remembered AudioBook Free
In addition to his own credentials as a article writer, poet, tutor and mystic, Andrew Harvey became a passionate good friend and follower of the overdue Dad Bede Griffiths, a scholarly, saintly Benedictine monk who founded and lived for decades in a Hindu-Christian ashram in South India. This unconventional dialogue eloquently communicates the blessings of the extraordinary man. Dad Bede, says Harvey, was "the simplest and most eloquent spokesman of the Holy Heart our time has seen . . . one of the main people of this century, an real prophet, a person who lived out the life of Christ." Hear directly into a thoughtful, uplifting explanation of why this is so, illustrated by sound excerpts of Dad Bede himself, plus a devotional Indian tune by Russill and Asha Paul. Harvey is the author of The Way of Passion: A Special event of Rumi (North Atlantic Books 1994), and co-author of Dialogues with today's Mystic (Goal 1994). Issues explored in this dialogue include: why Bede was "one of the main people of this century, a spiritual community that embodies a Christian-Hindu symbiosis, the building blocks of Dad Bede's lucid optimism, the lessons of Dad Bede's last years and times, Bede's own description of his ashram, the worthiness of meditation, in Bede's words, honoring the divine darkness in our selves and our experience, the actual Black colored Madonna represents, Dr. Haridas Chaudhuri as an Indian counterpart of Bede, the poetic and mythical areas of Ireland.
