The Third AdventOur world is in turmoil¿undoubtedly a reflection of the complex imbalances that afflict every level of the global society¿and many fear that mankind is doomed to failure. Yet, in The Third Advent, the author contends that we are on the threshold of a complete transformation, that individually, one by one, we can change the core of our being and thence the world itself. With remarkable candor, Grégoire de Kalbermatten recounts his own event-filled path to enlightenment, a path which ended at the feet of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. She taught him the techniques of what later became known as Sahaja Yoga, an astonishingly simple method of inner transformation which far-reaching and profound implications for our ability to side from the ashes of our present foibles. He presents her teachings here against the background of an astute, scholarly and entertaining probe into 6000 years of politics, economics, philosophy and religion¿from the times of Krishna and Jesus Christ, Joachim di Fiore the twelfth-century mystic and phrophet¿to impart a message of hope for the future that is as practical as it is profound. He also discusses how the principles of Sahaja Yoga can be integrated into business practices to bring about greater corporate social responsibility, resulting in greater prosperity for all. |
