Amazing Grace
With
Manuel Roberto
Music by Manuel & Bernice Roberto
The theme of Manuel Roberto's Sunday presentation will be based on the famous Hymn by John Newton, Amazing Grace, and will include a comparative analysis with the Hawaiian word “aloha” and the Hindu mantra “om ajana”, which have the same meaning in the universal language of love.
He will also speak from his personal near-death experiences and study of comparative world religions.
Manuel Roberto is a flautist, poet and teacher. Along with his wife Bernice, he is a founding member of the Kona Harp Ensemble. Born in Spain, Manuel has traveled extensively throughout the world, studying the musical and spiritual traditions of diverse cultures.
He studied Indian Classical Flute Music with world renowned flautist GS Sachdev and tabla drums with
Zakir Hussain. He has a deep knowledge of Hinduism which he has practiced for several decades.
Manuel is a long-time member of New Thought Center and served on the board of trustees for seven years beginning in 2001, and held the offices of vice president and president. He performed many functions: program coordinator, financial advisor, presenter, musician, facilitator, sound technician, and more. He and his wife, Bernice, were an integral part of the NTCH Christmas Eve service for many years. In the early years they represented New Thought at the Interfaith Thanksgiving Concerts, and this past week, they performed that service again!
In 2022, Manuel and Bernice moved to Florida, and they try to return to Kona at least once a year. In his new community Manuel serves as a lecturer for a local Unity Church, and teaches online classes for higher consciousness. He also holds the distinguished title of grandpa.
