In 2011, we started publishing the 100 list with the goal of celebrating the world\u2019s living spiritual teachers. Our special magazine issue features 16 pages dedicated to interesting details, bios, photos and highlights about each person on the list. As you read through this list, we hope that you feel as inspired as we are by each individual\u2019s significant impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">To discover more about each spiritual teacher, pick up a copy of issue 61, Spring 2020.To discover more about each spiritual teacher, pick up a copy of issue 61, Spring 2020.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">There are several factors that were taken into account when compiling the list. The main three criteria are:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">1) The person has to be alive as of January 1st, 20202) The person has to have made a unique and spiritual contribution on a global scale3) The person is frequently googled, appears in Nielsen Data, has a Wikipedia page, and is actively talked about throughout the Internet. By taking into account the amount of times that a person is googled or how many times their Wikipedia profile is viewed, the list gains a highly democratic and transparent parameter. Additionally, we were highly selective in creating this list and did our best to remove candidates who spread messages that were hateful or intolerant. Ultimately, this list is meant to celebrate the positive influence of today\u2019s spiritual teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">1)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Dalai Lama<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">2)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Pope Francis<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">3)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<span style=\"color: #00a859;\">\u00a0<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Greta Thunberg<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">4)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Eckhart Tolle<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">5)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Oprah Winfrey<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">6)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Russell Brand<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">7)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>Thich Nhat Hanh<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">8)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Desmond Tutu<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">9)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Marianne Williamson<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">10)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 David Lynch<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">11)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Paulo Coelho<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">12)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Deepak Chopra<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">13)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Sadhguru (Jaggi Vasudev)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">14)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Arianna Huffington<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">15)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Mirabai Starr<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">16)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Bob Dylan<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">17)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Edith Eger<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">18)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Alice Walker<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">19)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Neale Donald Walsch<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">20)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Matthew Fox<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">21)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Alejandro Jodorowsky<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">22)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Fethullah G\u00fclen<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">23)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Teal Swan<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">24)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Sandra Ingerman<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 160%;\">25)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Michael A.
