The teaching of Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov Meeting point of the Spiritual Traditions of India and the West The distinguished philosopher and spiritual Master, Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov lived and taught the original, vibrant philosophy that is his heritage to us. The publishing house of Prosveta was established in 1971 for the purpose of making this philosophy more widely known. To date some 70 volumes of his lectures exist in French, and these are gradually being added to and translated into more than twenty other languages – more than 50 volumes exist in English. Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov's teaching is now on sale in book form or on audio and video cassettes in most good book stores, as well as being available in hundreds of university and public libraries in dozens of different countries. It has been calculated that throughout the world some 15 books are sold every hour. One of the most striking aspects of the Master's teaching is the enormous variety of ways in which he presents the one central theme of man and his growth in perfection. Whatever the question under discussion, it is invariably dealt with in terms of how we can better understand ourselves and better conduct our lives.
