- Shop more books in the same category: All Books, Humanities & Social Science
Ashram Diary takes the reader to Shantivanam, an ashram in India by the sacred river Kaveri. Shantivanam began in 1950 when two French priests put on the orange robes of Hindu renunciants.
In 1968, an English monk, Bede Griffiths, became the ashram's guru and taught there until his passing in 1993. During the last nine years of Griffiths' life, Thomas Matus listened to his teachings and shared in the life of the ashram. In this book, Matus recounts his experience of India, its people, and its spiritual culture. He narrates his travels to Hindu and Buddhist shrines and his conversations with seekers on the path who share his quest: to rethink Christianity in Indian terms and India in Christian terms, and to discover the one Reality beyond names and forms, in which the spiritual search reaches its ultimate and blessed end.
