Spirituality and Social Action: A Holistic Approach
"No one who met her [Vimala Thakar] could fail to be moved.For she was a
great spiritually enlightened revolutionary and activist; a notable
Indian figure of the 20th Century who boldly forged a radically
independent approach to spirituality and the search for truth. Freed
from all religious tradition, she brought the timeless wisdom of the
East to the modern egalitarian West without the baggage of religious
terminology, endeavoring to awaken people through deep rational inquiry.
Fiercely independent, beholden only to her own burning passion for
liberation, she crisscrossed the world for many years, traveling to 35
countries through the sixties, seventies and eighties, exhorting all who
would listen to wake up to what she would term the 'totality of Life.'"
Chris Parish shares more in this tribute, that also includes an excerpt
from Vimala Thakar's book 'Spirituality and Social Action: A Holistic
Approach."
