What is INTERSPIRITUALITY?

Interspirituality is the common ground, where all of the wisdom traditions meet. Interspirituality is committed to finding the spirituality both within and beyond religion. What ties us together is a shared desire to connect with the Ground of Being in a way that fully respects our differences.

_{Joan Borysenko}

“Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.”

_{– Erich Fromm}

“Love one another, and you will be happy.

It’s as simple and difficult as that.

There is no other way.”

_{– Michael Leunig}

“Meditation has made me happy, loving, and peaceful-but not every single moment of the day. I still have good times and bad, joy and sorrow. Now I can accept setbacks more easily, with less sense of disappointment and personal failure, because meditation has taught me how to cope with the profound truth that everything changes all the time.”

~ Sharon Salzberg (meditation pioneer, world-renowned mindfulness and lovingkindness teacher)

“The man who makes God his beloved, what more does he want? His heart becomes awakened to all the beauty there is within and without. To him, God is all-in-all; to him, God is everywhere. If he goes to the Christian church or the Jewish synagogue, to Buddhist temple, to the Hindu shrine, or to the Muslim mosque, there is God. In the wilderness, in the forest, in the crowd, everywhere he sees God.”

_– _{Hazrat Inayat Khan}

“Interfaith dialogue doesn’t mean, ‘come, let me tell you something about my faith.’ Interfaith dialogue means, ‘come, tell me something about your faith – I want to learn – I want to grow’.”

– Abhijit Naskar
