FULL PROGRAM

In this Global Spirit episode, host Phil Cousineau is joined by physicist Dr. Ravi Ravindra, who comes from the Hindu tradition but holds a close personal association with Krishnamurti and the Gurdjieff teachings, and Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, a Naqshbandi Sufi teacher who has studied Jungian psychology, and who has written extensively about unity consciousness within the Sufi tradition. Together, these two guests bring a wealth of insights and revelations to the discussion, spanning the realms and understandings of both science and mysticism.

Ravi Ravindra was born in India and partly educated there. He has a B.Sc. and a Master of Technology degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, a Master of Science and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Toronto, and a Master of Arts in Philosophy from Dalhousie University. Ravindra is a frequent and popular guest lecturer to university and general audiences in many countries. At present Ravi Ravindra is Professor Emeritus at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Canada.

Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Ph.D., is a sheikh in the Naqshbandiyya-Mujaddidiyya Order of Sufism. He has specialized in the area of dreamwork, integrating the ancient Sufi approach to dreams with the insights of modern psychology. In recent years the focus of his writing and teaching has been on spiritual responsibility in our present time of transition, and the emerging global consciousness of oneness (visit www.workingwithoneness.org). Author of several books on the subject, Llewellyn has lectured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. He currently lives in California.
