A Spiritual Approach to the Environmental and Climate Crisis
and What Each of Us Can Do

By Sri Chinmoy
With Foreword by Jane Goodall

“[Sri Chinmoy] stresses the need for a deep spiritual connection with the natural world of which we are a part and on which we depend…Let us heed the words of this spiritual teacher before it is too late.”
Jane Goodall, renowned primatologist, in her Foreword to Listen to Nature

• Sri Chinmoy offers his deep insights on the root causes of the environmental crisis and what each of us can do, in responding to questions from UN officials, professors and journalists spanning decades.

• Each chapter features simple but powerful poetry illustrating our right relationship with Nature.

• Includes a number of meditation techniques for focusing on the sky, the sea and other images from Nature, to help us find peace in a turbulent world.

• Countering the dire news and despair we face each day concerning the global climate and environment, Listen to Nature offers an empowering message of hope, oneness and compassion.

• A beautifully designed hard-cover volume in a unique, compact size – makes an excellent gift! Just published by Golden Shore in Europe, with distribution by Heart-Light in North America.

Urging that “each individual has a special role to play in the protection of our small planet,” Sri Chinmoy feels that “it is the illumination of the individual mind and spirit that will precede the awakening of a new collective awareness” and a “greater respect and love for our planet Earth.” But action is also crucial: “Every self-giving effort of every human being is needed to change the fate of this world.” In an epilogue on the power of hope, he shares his vision that, despite these dark times, in the not-too-distant future “a new light will dawn, and it will clear all the thick clouds that have gathered for years.”

WHAT READERS SAY

“Recently William Shatner, Captain Kirk of Star Trek, travelled physically beyond the edge of outer space. He came back in tears, glowing in the aftermath of a transformative experience, having viewed the beauty, oneness and fragility of our shared Earth-Home. Not all of us can have the same experience Shatner had, but we can touch that precious realm of expanded awareness of universal Nature in Sri Chinmoy’s collected writings in Listen to Nature. This is a book to treasure in our own library and most urgently to share with others.”
—Thomas Pliske, PhD, Emeritus Faculty, Dept. of Earth and Environment, Florida International University, Miami

“Much deeper and more joyful than I expected... a unique, eye-opening lens on modern man's relationship with Mother Earth and the pathway towards a more fruitful existence, from the viewpoint of an authentic Indian mystic who, surprisingly, lived in the modern reality, in New York of all places.”– David S.

“The strongest message I got from this wonderful little book is hope. The author, Sri Chinmoy, offers a clear message through his writing that we can help the earth become healthy once again through our sincere concern, action and prayers.” - J.T.G.

“A beautiful insightful read that will make your soul sing. Highly recommended.” - Cornelius

“The author pulls no punches with his criticisms of doomsday rhetoric, cautions about over-reliance on technologies, all the while reminding of the need for us to heed nature's warnings and make both individual and collective course corrections. Overall it is an insightful and optimistic message.” – Mark L.

“Listen to Nature is a book that speaks to the heart. Other books are more scientific and focus on solutions. This one emphasizes the importance of the spiritual and the necessity of working on our inner selves.” – Marion W.

“This book has given me hope and confidence that my contribution as just one person really does offer something significant and that both individual and collective actions are extremely powerful. The book is beautifully illustrated and easy to read, and makes a great gift.”

“It’s refreshing to find a take on the modern environmental situation from a spiritual perspective, with a message of hope rather than doom and gloom...”

“If you love Mother Nature and this earth, the time for this book is NOW. Sri Chinmoy shines a much-needed spotlight on the present condition of this earth in a way like no other - because his words come from a very high, illumined spiritual Master... It is helping me to see Mother Nature in a whole new way.”
