DHARAMSHALA: The
Spiritual 100 list ranks spiritual leaders and authors including Deepak
Chopra (5), Nelson Mandela (19), the Pope (34), and the best selling
author Eckhart Tolle at no. 1. Several factors that were taken
into account when compiling the list. The main three are (1) the person
has to be alive (2) the person has to have made a unique and spiritual
contribution on a global scale and (3) the person is frequently
googled, appears in Nielsen Data, and highlighted throughout the
blogosphere.The oldest person in the list is Kyozan Joshu Sasaki, aged 104 years and the youngest is 30-years-old Jeff Foster.The spring issue of Watkins Review features a full eleven pages highlighting each of these inspirational individuals. The
Watkins Review is sold and published by Watkins Books, England’s oldest
spiritual bookshop that has been trading for 118 years. The magazine is
also available on the Apple App store world wide, except in China where
it has been banned due to its praising the Dalai Lama, Morningstar.com
reported.The Watkins Review dates back to 1893, when John
Watkins published his first volume of the Book-Notes, which included
book reviews, occult news and excerpts from recommended books.
