A zoom talk by Ravi Ravindra
Sunday 11th May – 6pm UK Time
There are many similarities among the Abrahamic and Indian spiritual teachings, such as the idea that the whole manifested universe is brought about by the highest level of consciousness with a call for each being to undertake its appropriate practices to enhance its quality in order to ultimately connect with the Source. The most significant difference is that unlike the Abrahamic traditions, where there is a myth of creation and each level in the created universe is unique, in the Indian traditions there is a myth of emanation and every level in the manifested universe has a particle of the Highest Reality, Brahman , within it. This one difference results in many consequences such as the emphasis on the oneness of everything or on the uniqueness of each being; freedom from individuality or everlasting individuality even after death; cremation or burial.
In this presentation we will explore the cultural consequences of both the differences and the similarities in the major traditions and how we need to deal with them in a global culture.
Ravi’s search has led him to the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff, Jiddu Krishnamurti, yoga, Zen, and into a deep immersion in the mystical teachings of the classical Indian and Christian traditions..
