Mike Finch became a student and dedicated follower of Guru Maharaji in 1970 after a year in a Buddhist monastery. In the 1980’s Mike got his doctorate for original research in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. On leaving the guru in 2001, Mike returned to his interest in philosophy and was awarded a Fellowship of the International Society For Philosophers. His current interest is in the area where philosophy meets meditation; he has written about this on his website www.mikeFinch.com, and is in the process of writing more.
