Bede Griffiths (December 17, 1906, in Walton-on-Thames, United Kingdom; May 13, 1993; birth name Alan Richard Griffiths) was a British Benedictine monk and one of the most well-known Christian mystics of the 20th century. He became particularly famous for his interfaith dialogue with Hinduism, for which he received much recognition. From 1968, he took over the pilgrimage site Sat-Chit-Ananda Ashram, also known as Shantivanam, in southern India.
