84. The Heart-work of Earth-care: The Teachings of Sri Chinmoy, with Pragati Pascale

What does an Indian guru--who teaches through meditative art, performance and extreme sport--have to tell us about how we might better love our planet? In this episode Forrest talks with Pragati Pascale about the writings of Indian spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy. Pragati has worked for the United Nations for many years as a senior communications strategist and consultant on sustainability issues. She is also the editor of a new book, Listen to Nature: Living in Harmony with the Earth, which presents some of Sri Chinmoy’s teachings on nature and the environment.
