| Swami Nityananda of Ganeshpuri. Swami Nityananda lived in India from around the beginning of the 20th century until 1961. He was a being of incredible, awesome yogic power and capacity. “The goal of spiritual practice is to merge one’s individual consciousness into divine consciousness; to merge creative energy into the seat of consciousness. A person established in such a place, in what Nityananda called the chidakash, puts an end to the wanderings and the multiplicities that manifest in the self. A person who lives in the Supreme Self lives beyond space and time and dwells in infinity, where all past lives are known and ended and where all past karmas are dissolved. Such a person lives the pure, beautiful, abundant experience of the Supreme Self.” Swami Nityananda was such a person. http://www.nityananda.us/index.htm |

| Radha Soami Satsang Beas. Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB) is a philosophical organisation based on the spiritual teachings of all religions and dedicated to a process of inner development under the guidance of a spiritual teacher. In the Indian language, Radha Soami means ‘ lord of the soul‘, satsang describes a group that seeks truth, and Beas refers to the town near which the main centre is located in northern India. There are a number of other contemporary movements that use the name ‘Radha Soami‘ but Radha Soami Satsang Beas is not associated with any of them. RSSB was established in India in 1891 and gradually began spreading to other countries. Today RSSB holds meetings in more than 90 countries worldwide. It is a registered non-profit society with no affiliation to any political or commercial organisations. The philosophy teaches a personal path of spiritual development which includes a vegetarian diet, abstinence from intoxicants, a moral way of life and the practice of daily meditation. There are no rituals, ceremonies, hierarchies or mandatory contributions, nor are there compulsory gatherings. Members need not give up their cultural identity or religious preference to follow this path. http://rssb.org |

| Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov. Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, French philosopher and teacher of Bulgarian origin (1900-1986), went to France in 1937. One of the most striking aspects in Aivanhov‘s books is the enormous variety of ways in which he presents the one central question of man and his growth in perfection. Whatever the question under discussion it is invariably dealt with in terms of how man can better understand himself and conduct his life. And if the word can have such a reach, it is that he was himself, during all his existence, the most living illustration of his Teaching. http://www.prosveta.ch/ |

| Eckhart Tolle. Eckhart Tolle is emerging as one of the most original and inspiring spiritual teachers of our time. He travels and teaches throughout the world. He is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition, but excludes none. His profound yet simple and practical teachings have helped thousands of people find inner peace and greater fulfilment in their lives. At the core of his teachings lies the transformation of individual and collective human consciousness – a global spiritual awakening. Eckhart was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine, a profound spiritual transformation virtually dissolved his old identity and radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating and deepening that transformation and marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work with individuals and small groups as a counsellor and spiritual teacher. He is the author of ‘The Power of Now’, a #1 New York Times bestseller that has been widely recognised as one of the most influential spiritual books of our time. It has been translated into over 30 languages. http://www.eckharttolle.com |

The Grand Lodge upholds the equality of both men and women as practicing Masons, without distinction of race, creed, colour, gender or social conditions.
