The Evolution Revolution

Synopsis

Evolution Revolution presents a grand vision for overcoming the complexities of the modern lifestyle and the afflictions of the current mindset. Mas Vidal recognizes that a universal wisdom, a conscious living culture, is emerging globally as part of the renaissance of Vedic India, the Motherland of ancient wisdom traditions. Many are turning to integral Yoga for real solutions and turning to Ayurveda for real health and wellness. This revolution is recognizing a singular truth that is known by many names, found in all living things, and is not limited to the confines of patriarchy and religion. This movement regards nature as sacred and embraces a spiritual process that is personal, intimate and practical.

Mas Vidal articulates how to embrace integral yoga and apply the practices as Listening, Learning, Loving, and Letting Go. Evolutionary powers lie dormant within every individual and include the practices of meditation, mantra, community (sangha), and healing the body through a plant-based diet. The book is a tribute to the spiritual heritage of India’s soft power culture that is redefining how humans live on earth, empowering us to address life’s challenging moments, increasing our capacity to evolve spiritually, and motivating us to explore all pathways to transforming our consciousness.
