Satish Kumar's Spiritual Compass
Author and spiritual ecologist Satish Kumar explains the concepts which are found in his latest book; he believes that spirituality must be a part of our ordinary, everyday existence: it needs to be implicitly present in business, politics, farming, cooking—and in our relationships. To illustrate this, he draws on the Indian Ayurvedic tradition which characterises the mind as having three gunas, or primary qualities: sattva (characterised by calmness, clarity and purity), rajas (energy and passion), and tamas (dullness and ignorance).
Satish explains that there is no dualism between spirit and matter—all matter is imbued with spirit, and spirit manifests through matter. This integrated worldview forms the core of his book.

  • Satish Kumar is not only a 'spiritual' genius, he is also a great social and cultural thinker who holds within his philosophy of life the key to rescuing the world from its current descent into darkness and destructiveness. His book "Spiritual Compass" comes at the most crucial crossroads in human history and it can help us to chose the right direction.

  • AMEN!

  • r u imposing vegitarian food, u stupid?

  • Your spiritual compass should revolve around the most high spiritual teacher. Satish Kumar? I don't think his compass has directed his path to his teacher yet.

  • woooah, he knows his foods well ;D
