This conversation explores the importance of simplicity and authenticity in spiritual practice, emphasizing the value of honoring diverse paths while staying true to one's own. It touches on balancing technology with awareness, fostering meaningful dialogue across traditions, and speaking truth with love. The discussion highlights how creativity can deepen spiritual growth and the role of discernment in navigating new ideas and societal pressures.---Les Anand Roberts was born in Shropshire, England, in May 1953 into a working-class family. After dropping out of high school at 16, he spent two years working in manual labor before returning to education at 18. He eventually qualified as a Company Secretary and worked in various accounting roles, though a career breakdown in the early 1980s led to significant life changes. He later moved to Gibraltar, where he worked for Ernst & Young and other companies while navigating a challenging second marriage. Les's life took a transformative turn when he discovered the Integral Yoga Centre in Gibraltar and became deeply involved in the spiritual teachings offered there, particularly the "Science of the Mind."In 2002, Les became self-employed as a business and compliance consultant and founded the charity AKIN (Association for Kids In Need), which helped children in six countries. His charity work extended to founding Childline Gibraltar and contributing to several other local causes. He also served as chairman of The Association of Trust & Company Managers and contributed to Gibraltar's finance sector. In 2009, Les moved to southern Spain, and in 2019, he semi-retired, continuing to work in compliance while collaborating with his partner, Nalanie Harilela Chellaram, to organize spiritual workshops. Outside of work, Les enjoys photography, videography, writing, music, and painting. He has four children and four grandchildren.Follow Les on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/les.anand_creations/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In 2004, Les Roberts smuggled himself into Iraq as his own government was in the midst of bombing and occupying the country.His mission was to find out how many civilians had been killed in the devastating US-led invasion, because Western media was refusing to cover it.When he published his findings in the Lancet Report, that between 100,000 and 600,000 people had been killed - it was dismissed and scorned. Years later, his estimate has been accepted as true.Inside Iraq, Roberts witnessed the horrors of America's indiscriminate bombing campaign, and the terror it inflicted on the people of Iraq, and Iraqi children in particular.Today, he watches as a similar horror is unleashed on children in Gaza.More than 37,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli airstrikes since October 7, including more than 15,000 children. Many health officials, including Roberts, believe that number is likely conservative, as it doesn't account for thousands missing or trapped beneath the rubble of their homes, nor those who have died from the spread of disease and famine.This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we speak with Dr Les Roberts, an epidemiologist and Professor Emeritus at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.Dr Roberts spent his career documenting death and disease in conflict zones - including in Rwanda, the Congo and Iraq.You can read his opinion piece on the accuracy of the death toll in Gaza for Time Magazine here: https://time.com/6909636/gaza-death-toll/We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.
