Teachers

Introducing the mentors, scholars, and spiritual guides—priests, academics, and gurus (historical and contemporary)—whose teachings have profoundly influenced my perspective on life, faith, and well-being.

Swami Abhishiktananda, older white man with long beard looking straight into the camera
"Abandoned by men, and abandoned by God,
alone with himself,
alone, infinitely alone…
There he discovered the aloneness of the Alone,
and the aloneness of Being,
and the joy of BEING, the peace of Being, the freedom of Being."

 Fr. Henri Le Saux (Swami Abhishiktananda)
