Beyond the Darkness
Even though the English Benedictine monk Bede Griffiths was well known during his lifetime (1906-1993) for his efforts to harmonize the spiritual practices of East and of the West, the full range of his influence is only just becoming widely appreciated. Now, from respected journalist and biographer Shirley du Boulay, comes the first major biography of Griffiths's life, "Beyond the Darkness.

Beyond the Darkness
Bede Griffith believed the future of the world depended on the marriage of East and West. The story of his life reveals how he transcended the divisions between religions. Though born into a very middle-class Anglican family in 1906 - and taught by C. S. Lewis at Oxford - he became a Roman Catholic and by 1953 was a monk. Invited to found a Benedictine monastery in Southern India in the 1950s, Bede Griffiths gradually built up a religious community of 20 monks, which became an international centre for dialogue and contemplation, attracting people of all ages, nationalities and faiths. His spirituality and his emphasis on meditation hold great appeal for many today who seek God but cannot find him in traditional churches. This extraordinarily gifted and unusual man - revered by many as a sage, prophet and mystic - continues to inspire people all over the globe.
Bede Griffiths
Bede Griffiths, who died in 1994, was an English Benedictine monk who settled in India in 1955 and went on to become one of the great mystical teachers of our time. In India, where he assumed the dress and ascetic discipline of a Hindu holy man, Griffiths established a Christian community following the customs of a Hindu ashram. Through his immersion in the scriptures of India, he found wisdom and inspiration for his own Christian faith. This volume, which draws on his autobiographical volumes and his many other books, presents the ideal entry to the cosmic and mystical spirituality of a great spiritual guide.
The Marriage of East and West
Bede Griffiths was a Benedictine monk who achieved worldwide recognition for his pioneering efforts to bridge the great traditions of Christian and Hindu faith. He advocates a global spiritual friendship, rather than a global religion, cultivating respct for each other's spiritual practices.
Bede Griffiths
One of today's foremost mystics introduces readers to the thought of one of the most important spiritual teachers of the past century. Bede Griffiths—English Benedictine monk and lifelong friend of C.S. Lewis, who was his tutor at Oxford—wrote in 1955 to a friend: "I'm going out to India to seek the other half of my soul." There, he explored the intersection of Hinduism and Christianity and was a driving force behind the growth of interspiritual awareness so common today, yet almost unheard of a half-century ago. Wayne Teasdale, a longtime personal friend and student of Griffiths, provides readers with an intriguing view into the thoughts, beliefs, and life of this champion of interreligious acceptance and harmony. This volume is the first in-depth study of Bede Griffiths' contemplative experience and thought. Fully exploring the antecedents and development of Griffiths' theory that the Christian mystery can be expressed through the worldview of Hinduism, Bede Griffiths: An Introduction to His Interspiritual Thought is a vital starting point for any spiritual seeker who wants to understand the shared territories of these two great faiths.
