An international symposium at Shantivanam, the ashram founded by Henri Le Saux and Jules Monchanin, opened the year commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Le Saux. A selection of papers given at this conference was published in the spring of 2011 by Lantern Press (Brooklyn NY) under the title Witness to the Fulness of Light: The Vision and Relevance of the Benedictine Monk Swami Abhishiktananda. Because of space limitations not all papers could be included in the book. The authors of papers that were not published were invited to submit their papers to this website. The papers of those who accepted the invitation are posted as .pdf documents as they were received from the authors. Click on the title above to access the papers.
