In her groundbreaking book, Dr. Leena Banerjee Brown extends a warm welcome to people of all faiths to become instruments of divine peace. She invites them to give and receive True Light in an inspired practice of benevolence that opens the door to the world of the extraordinary.

All that is needed for us humans to reverse ...enormous environmental damage...is to...root ourselves spiritually, mindfully, and physically to the land we live upon…[Leena] offers her life evidence that this can be done, as we read her story and write our own.

Dekila Chungyalpa,
Director, Loka Initiative University of Wisconsin Madison

Leena’s...message is reassuring- a symbiotic relationship with nature will be met with spiritual growth. Leena offers “splashes of color” through her...wisdom..[to] nourish hope and guide humanity.

True Light Book - Portuguese

Nowadays, it is common to observe an intentional distancing from religion, while at the same time there is an awakening to the importance of integrating spirituality into the evolutionary process of the individual and of humanity.
However, this desire for spirituality is often lost due to a lack of religious guidance.
The book True Light, by Prof. Brown, captivatingly and simply presents accounts of ordinary people who, through the practice of Divine Light, transformed their lives - and, consequently, elevated their environments, professional practices, communities, families, and generations.
It is a reading based on universal spiritual principles, which motivates those seeking spiritual growth to learn more about a practice that promotes profound inner change.
It is impossible not to want to put such practical and, at the same time, profound learnings to the test.

- Daimene Silva

I began reading Dr. Leena Banerjee Brown's book yesterday, and already in the first pages, I was deeply touched.
The work brings valuable content, presented with clarity and elegance, introducing the teachings of the true Divine Principles - universal laws originating from God Supreme, Creator of all existence.
It is an easy-to-read book that shows us that, regardless of the path each spiritual being has walked - races, religions, or social conditions - we all share a single origin. Science and religion walk together, as they are complementary.
Over time, by going against these Divine Principles, we have become responsible for the chaotic situation we live in today. Even so, we are blessed with Divine Light and the Divine Plan, which guide us back to our origin.
As health professionals, we have an essential mission: to contribute to guiding humanity back to its true path. We are one. And with unconditional love, compassion, and kindness - as taught by the Dalai Lama - we must care for others as we care for ourselves.
It is also essential that we transcend the ego, so we may align with the divine will and collaborate in the restoration of Earth and all existence.
To those who awaken, there comes the responsibility to unite, accumulate merits, and transmit Divine Light, with the awareness that this movement reaches all beings in the Universe.
God awaits our awakening. And we must do our part.
Congratulations to Dr. Leena and Dr. Roger L. Beck for this much-needed work.

PRACTICING ELEVATION OF MIND

In Circles we train the highest human capacity of the mind to connect with spiritual wisdom to be an instrument of meaning, peace and prosperity in the world. This means awakening to connection with the divine, our own true self, the true self of others and the essence in all existence. It is the training of spirit-centeredness.
