The New Annunciation (Universal Call to Be Virgin Mothers)

The call to virgin motherhood is not the prerogative of Virgin Mary alone, but a universal call to humanity. The real purpose of human existence is to allow God to work in human beings ... to live our lives as the image and likeness of God. Will you then be the virgin mother of God? Will you with your realization and life remind humanity of its original nature? The New Annunciation is a teaching in the pure oral tradition. John Martin Sahajananda is a Benedictine monk of the Camaldolese order. He is the spiritual director of the Shantivanam Ashram in India, and successor to Father Bede Griffiths. He travels regularly to Europe where he teaches a unique spirituality that goes beyond religion and brings together the wisdom of the Indian sages and the revolutionary message of Christ. He has recently published a collection of talks and essays with Luc Editions: What is Truth? (979-10-91859-02-8)
