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.

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.

The Gurdjieff Foundation, the largest
organisation directly linked to Mr. Gurdjieff, was organised

2001, Dr. Michel de Salzmann directed the network of Gurdjieff
Foundations,
societies, and institutes. The work of The Gurdjieff Foundation
continues today with the guidance of direct pupils and the next generation. The Foundation

Self Realization Fellowship.
"We are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning
of religion, which is to know God, you will realise that God is your Self, and that God exists
equally and impartially in all beings." – Paramahansa Yogananda.
For three quarters of a century, Self-Realization Fellowship, a
worldwide religious organisation with international headquarters in Los Angeles, has been dedicated
to carrying on the spiritual and humanitarian work of Paramahansa Yogananda
. Through our worldwide service, we seek to foster a spirit of greater understanding and
goodwill among the diverse people and nations of our global family, and to help those of all cultures
and creeds to realise and express more fully in their lives the beauty, nobility, and divinity of
the human spirit.

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.

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.

The Sufi Order UK.
"Sufism is not a religion or a philosophy, it is neither deism nor
atheism, nor is it a moral, nor a special kind of mysticism, being free from the usual religious
sectarianism. If ever it could be called a religion, it would only be as a religion of love, harmony,
and beauty." - Hazrat Inayat Khan.
The Sufi Order (UK) draws its inspiration from the work and
teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan,
Pir Vilayat and
Pir Zia.

Grand Lodge of Freemasonry.
Freemasonry is a fraternal tradition based on Brotherly Love, Relief
and Truth; and on the Perfectability of humankind. The Grand Lodge upholds the equality of both
men and women as practicing Masons, without distinction of race, creed, colour, gender or social
conditions. Freemasonry recognises all those sincere seekers of truth, who work for humanity and wish
to become better examples to others in the conduct of their lives. Freemasonry offers a rich and
ancient cultural heritage in allegory and symbol for our spiritual education and progress along
the path of unfoldment. The Grand Lodge has made the study of the Masonic heritage and its
spiritual insights a keystone of our work, preserving the tradition inaugurated by the Great
Theosophist Dr Annie Besant in 1902. We are a forward-looking Order established
in Britain and Europe with Lodges in London and around the country.
