Bede Griffiths ~ The Unfathomable Mystery

Bede Griffiths (17 December 1906 – 13 May 1993), born Alan
Richard Griffiths and also known by the end of his life as Swami
Dayananda ("bliss of compassion"), was a British-born Catholic
priest and Benedictine monk who lived in ashrams in South India
and became a noted yogi. Griffiths was a part of the Christian
Ashram Movement. In 1968, Fr. Bede Griffiths immersed himself in
the study of Indian thought, attempting to relate it to Christian
theology. He went on pilgrimage and studied Hinduism. Under Fr.
Bede’s guidance Shantivanam Ashram in South India became a center
of contemplative life, of inculturation, and of inter religious
dialogue. He contributed greatly to the development of Indian
Christian Theology. In 1973 he published Vedanta and the
Christian Faith. These reflections from Bede's writings have been
taken from numerous sources.
