Humanity is experiencing tremendous challenges due to war, terrorism, environmental destruction, climate change, racism, economic disparity and a host of other issues. It is during such periods of darkness that we need to shine the light of Ahimsa (non-violence), compassion and humaneness to help heal our planetary home, and especially our relationships with our fellow humans and the other living beings that help make up the world’s vast network of life.

This book, containing little-known writings of the wise elder and great humanitarian Geoffrey Hodson, shines the light of Ahimsa into the world. Although some of these writings date from the 1940s, they remain as timely and relevant as ever.

Geoffrey Hodson (1886 - 1983) was a prominent member of the Theosophical Society. A noted clairvoyant, he was primarily known for his teachings about yoga, meditation, angels, mysticism and spiritual development. His writings about humaneness, animal rights and ahimsa (translated from the Sanskrit into English as “active nonviolence” and “dynamic compassion”) are less known.
