Patrick Levy

Patrick Levy is a French writer who lives six months a year in India, "his second mother", as he likes to say.

He is a strange phenomenon amongst authors on the spirituality scene. He has travelled the world in search of spiritual masters and experiences; practiced Kabbalah, Sufism, Buddhism and Vedanta, and has published books about his explorations.

He claims: "Everything that belongs to humanity, belongs to me," he says to justify his broad curiosity.

'Does God believe in God?'- his first book, established the direction of this spiritual globetrotter's atypical course. He recounted his ten year long spiritual quest in the study and practice of five different religions. His approach to religions and spiritual practices has been one of caution but also depth, going beyond dogmas and beliefs with humour and candour.

His previous book, 'The Kabbalist', (also translated in Hebrew) is a best-seller in France and was awarded a Special distinction by the panel of judges of "Spirituality Today" prize in 2002.
