Ravi Ravindra: Journey of Self-transformation

A few human beings are strongly struck by the obvious fact that I did not create myself. Then they begin to wonder: why was I created by the enormously large forces and delicate laws governing the vast universe, and only for a few decades. Am I essentially this body which is clearly destined to die or is there something else? Those who stay with such questions sooner or later end up following a teaching that assists them in their spiritual journey calling for a radical transformation of their whole being. We will explore some discernible stages in the journey of self-transformation.

Ravi Ravindra obtained degrees of B.Sc. and M. Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, before going to Canada on a Commonwealth Scholarship to do an M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Toronto. Later, he did an M.A. in Philosophy also, and at different times held Post-doctoral fellowships in Physics (University of Toronto), History and Philosophy of Science (Princeton University) and in Religion (Columbia University). He is now Professor Emeritus at Dalhousie University in Halifax (Canada) where he served for many years as a Professor in the departments of Comparative Religion, Philosophy, and of Physics.
He was a Member of the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, a Fellow of the Indian Institute of Advanced Study in Shimla, and the Founding Director of the Threshold Award for Integrative Knowledge.
