Spandaloka

Shankara is a Spiritual Teacher, Adept, Guide, Friend or Agent, who has undergone The Transcendental Spiritual Realization And Liberation Process. After his Spiritual search was consciously activated in His teenage years, Shankara’s Transcendental Spiritual Realization And Liberation Process Came Into Its Final Phase when He was 35 years old and Completed Itself one year later. For the next 9 years Life and Existence Unfolded Through, In and As Radiant Reality Itself without the impulse to pursue any Spiritual Activity whatsoever. Yet, in the last 4 years Shankara couldn’t anymore resist the Impulse to Open and Reveal His Spiritual Reality to everybody seriously interested and touched by The Transmission Of Its Radiance. The Beginning Of His Spiritual Work Or Function Was Thus Initiated. Dr. John Mann, who wrote the foreword for Shankara’s Spandaloka Book, was a lifelong student of Rudi, or Swami Rudrananda (Albert Rudolph), a well-known art dealer and spiritual teacher. A social psychologist by training, Dr. Mann taught for many years at New York University and SUNY Geneseo, and is the author of more than fifteen books, including Before the Sun: Meeting Rudi, Sigmund Freud: Doctor of Secrets and Dreams, and Frontiers of Psychology.
