• East and West: The Mystical Connection with Fr. Bede Griffiths.
  A Christian monk who lived in India for over thirty years, the late Fr. Griffiths shares some remarkable insights about the contemplative life. He builds a bridge linking the Gnostic tradition of early Christianity and the mystical tradition streaming down through the centuries with the ancient philosophies of Vedanta and Buddhism. The results are fascinating and profound.  [Program #1811   $12.00]
  
  
• Return to the Sacred with Father Bede Griffiths
  This discussion with a remarkable Benedictine monk who founded an ashram in South India is a beautiful, stirring exploration of human spirituality. In a rare systhesis of Christian, Hindu and modrn scientific thought, the late Father Bede discusses the infusing of gross matter and daily life with spirit, the finding of God "in the divine darkness beyond word and thought," technology and simple living, Black Madonnas, mysticism and monastic life.   [Program # 2273   $12.00]
  
  
  
• SACRED MUSIC: GATEWAY TO THE INFINITE with FATHER BEDE GRIFFITHS and RUSSILL and ASHA PAUL
  An interview with Father Bede and two musician friends becomes a profoundly moving musical excursion through the deep truths and feelings of the various spiritual traditions represented in their South Indian Christian-Hindu ashram. Through the musical gifts of Russill and Asha Paul, we hear and sense for ourselves how the many different names and descriptions of God are reflections of a single reality. "There is a wonderful underlying unity," says Father Bede, "but it's beyond words. We're all trying to move beyond the words and the languages to the one reality itself, beyond all." The music takes us to a direct experience of the sacred unity beyond cultural differences. [Program # 2274  $12.00]
