I was born in London 1947 and became a monk in India in 1966. I returned to England in 1976 and then became a mental health practitioner. I started a family life after moving to New Zealand, and I spent more than 10 years in clinical teaching or education roles. Hence my predilection for teaching! My books focus on my spiritual/psychological experience. It's all about Divine Grace for me! Just to clarify, I write about Enlightenment in terms of what we can all be, and in fact what we all are all in our Truth. Accepting ones Divinity is part of the journey, and this is not to denigrate religions or philosophies of Duality. I still maintain both a non-dual approach and a devotional one. I believe that Divine Grace has got me where I am, and now guides me. Also inspires the writing which can be dipped into anywhere as spiritual practice aids My first book covered in depth my journey to India and then my ten years in India as a monk. (1966-1976). English-man, Beggar-man, Holy-Man. Following books are: Om Divine Grace and Grace Divine Journey. (Autobiographical plus teaching content).
