Sufi Solutions to World's Problems

There has been so much emphasis on the outer forms of religion and religious rituals - that the spirit of religiousness and religiosity are completely forgotten. This must be corrected, and the Sufis alone can do it. For, they live in the very spirit of religiousness and religiosity.

And, what is this spirit? This is seeing the Face of God in all directions. This is finding God in all places. This is serving God who envelopes all that is while at the same time abiding in each and every heart.

Brief version of this material was presented on the Conference on Sufi Movements in Contemporary Islam held in Singapore August 14-15, 2008.


Organizers’ comments upon the presence and presentation of Anand Krishna at the conference.

Your presence, and that of Maya and Liny (author’s two colleagues accompanying him for the conference), made all the difference. Everyone seems to be happy with the outcome.

Anand Krishna adalah warga negara Indonesia keturunan India, yang disebut sebagai “sang fenomenal” baik oleh orang yang mengkritiknya maupun yang bersimpati padanya. Para pengkritiknya bertanya-tanya, “Apa yang membuat ia begitu populer? Bukankah tak ada yang luar biasa darinya?” Sebaliknya mereka yang bersimpati pada Anand Krishna sungguh mengapresiasi tekadnya untuk menyebarkan kedamaian di antara kelompok masyarakat yang berbeda dan mengklaimkan: “Dia datang dari Sumber Segala Kebijaksanaan.”

Dalam 18 tahun terakhir, Anand Krishna telah berbicara pada jutaan orang lewat siaran televisi, dialog radio, pelatihan-pelatihan, buku-buku, wawancara surat kabar dan pelbagai artikel koran koran.
