About
People are seeking a sense of unity and purpose for life. Yet, spirituality itself is not uni-dimensional, but has many facets.
Religion focuses on ideology and rules of faith and belief systems.Spirituality, on the other hand, focuses on experience and relationships. Spirituality is usually seen as having to do with the individual, while religion is oriented around institutions and organizations. Some believe that traditional religion can inform and nurture spirituality. Others feel that religion can inhibit the development of a person's spirituality because of the focus on rules and regulations, creeds and dogma.
The rich mix of Buddhist, Judeo-Christian and Vedic scriptures and sacred texts and their interpretation from a multi-dimensional and integrative way leads to a better understanding of the cosmic process and hence a better understanding of life's purpose.
SPARK's mission is:
"Providing a forum for multi-dimensional and integrated knowledge dissemination and interchange that will empower personal and spiritual growth"
