Shrii Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar

Shrii Prabhat Rainjan (P.R.) Sarkar (1921-90), philosopher, social reformer, and spiritual teacher. Through his actions and teachings Sarkar inspired people to develop themselves to their fullest, and to assume greater responsibility for the welfare of humanity and indeed the entire creation.

"Sarkar, in his own way, is more than the equal of the great historian Arnold Toynbee. Sarkar not only illuminated the growth and inevitable decline that comes from the 'acquisitive-Capitalist' stage in societal evolution that has now deeply infected the West, but offers wise counsel on what to do instead."
Oliver W. Markley, Professor of Human Sciences, University of Houston at Clear Lake

"Sarkar, who did more than thirty years of studies and practical concrete work with the poor population of India, is very important for all who yearn for a liberation which starts from economics and opens to a totality of personal and social human existence . . ."
Leonardo Boff, Brazilian founder of Liberation Theology

"Sarkar was one of the greatest modern philosophers of India."
Former President of India, Giani Zail Singh

"Sarkar's theory is far superior to Adam Smith's or that of Karl Marx."
Johan Galtung, Founder UN Institute of Peace Studies
