Free Lecture..."Beyond Belief and Religion: a Seven Year Journey in India and Nepal" by James O'Hara

Free Public Lecture...Sunday, April 17, 10:00 am, Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley

James O'Hara is author of In the Land of Shiva. He's a former Catholic Brother and teacher whose life changed when he visited India and Nepal. His experiences there led him to question not only his vows, but his deepest beliefs.

In Hinduism, Shiva is called the great Destroyer of that which is no longer needed. James experience was that destruction of what is no longer needed, the shedding of old habits and attachments, and the dropping of the illusions of ego.

James will present a slide show from his experiences in India and Nepal and will speak about "Beyond Belief and Religion: a Seven Year Journey in India and Nepal". His website: www.jamesohara.com
