"Gerald Heard Endorsements ""Gerald Heard was a revolutionary in the only revolution that matters: the revolution of consciousness, freeing us from the delusion of dualism and its violent politics of tribalism, for the realization of nondual reality and its politics of global love of justice for all life. Gerald Heard: The Perennial Philosopher is a clarion call to join the revolution, awaken to truth, and heal the world."" (2024 endorsement) -Rabbi Rami Shapiro, spiritual teacher, prolific author, and co-director of the One River Foundation ""Gerald Heard enthusiastically lent his considerable literary and oratorical skills to disseminating the timeless, universal message of Vedanta, significantly furthering the movement started by Swami Vivekananda."" (from 2024) -Swami Sarvadevananda, Minister of the Vedanta Society of Southern California ""Gerald Heard was unrivaled as a catalyst for the propagation of Vedanta, largely because he sparked the interest of people who would, in turn, reach millions of others. His role in accelerating the evolution of consciousness in the West was huge, thanks to his impact on key movers and shakers in the consciousness movement.""
