Radio Respite: Jack Hawley

Jack Hawley, Ph.D., is a consultant and writer, as well as a student, teacher, and lecturer on the infusion of new energy, heart and spirit into everyday life. Jack and his wife, Louise, spend half of each year studying and lecturing in an ashram (spiritual learning community) in rural southern India and the other half helping organizational leaders in the rest of the world apply these principles. The Bhagavad Gita contains the inner essence of India, the moral and spiritual principles found in the very earliest scriptures of this ancient land. To read The Bhagavad Gita is to swing back and forth smoothly between the head and heart, between the worldly and the spiritual, arching between gaining knowledge and applying it in today's real world. In this swing from humanness to godliness lies the Gita's secret penetrating power, its ability to lift and move us.
