INTRODUCTION
Mrs. Indira Gandhi once said, “Muni Chitrabhanu looked very much like what one would imagine Christ to be and gave me an impression of deep peace.” This view is shared by Munishree's numerous followers, admirers and friends all over the world.
SENSE BEYOND THE SENSES is a compilation of talks given by Gurudev Chitrabhanu in the United States. His lectures aim at kindling awareness of the Self within all—his philosophy is that of reverence for all life.
One of the spiritual leaders of India's four million Jains, Shree Chitrabhanu is the first Jain master to leave his country. He has travelled extensively throughout Europe and East Africa to acquaint people with the principles of non-violence and the belief that the unfolding of spiritual consciousness is the birthright of every individual.
Gurudev first arrived in the USA in 1971 as a representative of Indian spiritual culture for the Third Spiritual Summit Conference held at Harvard Divinity School and Princeton University. He has lectured throughout the USA and was the keynote speaker at the Quaker Conference on World Peace at Ithaca College in June 1974.
Shree Chitrabhanu is the Founder, President and Director of: Divine Knowledge Society, Bombay, the World Fellowship of Religions and the Jain Meditation International Centre (J.M.I.C.) in New York City under whose auspices he leads retreats and gives weekly talks.
