Andrew Harvey is Founder & Director of the Institute for Sacred Activism, an international organization focused on inviting concerned people to take up the challenge of our contemporary global crises by becoming inspired, effective, and practical agents of institutional and systemic change, in order to create peace and sustainability.

Andrew Andrew was born in south India, where he lived until he was nine years old. He left India to attend private school in England and entered Oxford University. Harvey had become disillusioned with life at Oxford and returned to his native India, where a series of mystical experiences initiated his spiritual journey. Over the next thirty years he plunged into different mystical traditions to learn their secrets and practices.

He has since lived in London, Paris, New York, and San Francisco, and has continued to study (and teach the wisdom of) a variety of religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity. He has written and edited over 30 books.
