Based on ANTONY DE MELLO’s Teaching
an evening with
Francis Padinjarekara
ABOUT THE SEMINAR
Anthony de Mello (1931-1987) started a radical new approach, when he proposed Awareness as the way to freedom. Freedom from beliefs, ideas, conditioning and fear, that shadow our vision preventing us from being fully alive and present.
His teaching has inspired millions of people across the world to “WAKE UP TO LIFE”, and live in the freedom and freshness of the Now. His universal message transcends time, cultural differences and religious boundaries, laying the foundation of a new movement now known as “Integral Spirituality“, that integrates all religions in a unique, unified field.
A place where we can find, in his own words: “the teaching of a Hindu Guru, a Zen Roshi, a Taoist Sage, a Jewish Rabbi, a Christian Monk, a Sufi Mystic, a Lao-Tzu, Socrates, Buddha, Jesus, Zarathustra and Mohammed”. His teaching is found in the seventh century B.C. and the twentieth century A.D. and his wisdom belongs to East and West alike.
Anthony De Mello founded Sadhana Institute in India in 1973 to offer people a direct experience of his work for a practical integration into their own lives. He continued his work until his death in 1987, when FRANCIS PADINJAREKARA was asked to continue Tony’s work for Sadhana. Since then, Francis’ unique focus has been to spread Anthony’s vision around the word, bringing his teaching on Awareness into the lives of ordinary people in India, Oceania, USA and Europe.
On the 1st of February Francis PADINJAREKARA will come to visit our group to share that same message with all his knowledge, wisdom, and AWARENESS.

How serendipitous to find this sight. It has been many years since I read, “Awareness” by Anthony De Mello, but remember feeling “sparked” by it.
I practice Sadhana every day…meaning I have a daily practice that enables me to care for my body, mind and spirit. It provides quality time with me before the distractions of life converge. I gladly reach into my subconscious mind and water it down like the sidewalks of New York in the morning.
My conscious mind doesn’t know to say thank you…but my heart does.
I want to thank the blogger very much not only for this post but also for his all previous efforts. I found http://www.valteroni.com to be extremely interesting. I will be coming back to http://www.valteroni.com for more information.
