Come and explore the wisdom of one of the world’s great spiritual texts. The Gospel of John is much more cosmological and mystical in nature than the other gospels.
We are delighted to have Professor Ravi Ravindra, author of the ‘Gospel of John in the Light of Indian Mysticism’, lead this evening’s talk. Ravi will open our evening’s reflections with a guided meditation, followed by a talk and then an opportunity for dialogue.
Professor Ravi Ravindra is Professor Emeritus at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada, where he was Professor and Chair of Comparative Religion and Adjunct Professor of Physics. In addition to a profound study of the great faith traditions, Ravi Ravindra has had a longstanding engagement with spirituality. Ravi holds master’s degrees in technology, physics and philosophy and a Ph.D. in physics. He has been a Member of the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton University, and a Fellow of the Indian Institute of Advanced Study in Shimla. Ravi is the author many books including ‘Yogas of the Chirst: an Introduction to the Gospel of St. John’ ‘Science and the Sacred: Eternal Wisdom in a Changing World’ and ‘Whispers from the Other Shore: Spiritual Search East and West’.
