Satsang with Swami Shankarananda: Bhagavan Nityananda - June 2 2018
Monday Jun 04, 2018
Monday Jun 04, 2018
Listen to Swami Shankarananda's Satsang talk from Saturday, June 2nd on the theme of the great Indian sage and spiritual head of our lineage, Bhagavan Nityananda. Our yoga is part of a line of masters that stretches back to antiquity. In modern times the central figure is Bhagavan Nityananda (circa 1885-1961), the mysterious sage of Ganeshpuri, India. Bhagavan taught mainly in silence, and his disciples absorbred his teaching by simply sitting in his company. When he did emerge from his inner absorbtion and give teachings, they were recorded by his devotees. In this talk, Swamiji will share his wisdom and interpretation of Bhagavan's great utterances, and fill the room with laughter, bliss and Shakti, or an abundance of spiritual energy. Listen and meditate on the great wisdom and energy of this tradition.
To come to Satsang in person visit The Ashram at 27 Tower Roud Mount Eliza, VIC 3930. Visit our website at www.theashram.com.au or call (03) 9775 2568 or email info@theashram.com for more information.

Satsang with Swami Shankarananda: Baba Muktananda's Birthday - 19 May 2018
Monday May 21, 2018
Monday May 21, 2018
Listen to Swami Shankarananda's Satsang talk from May 19, in celebration and honour of his teacher and Guru, Baba Muktananda's Birthday.
'How can the Self forget the Self? The Self hasn’t forgotten the Self, but because of the outer senses and the mind it appears that way. So it means that in every one of us, there is some intuitive knowledge of the Self, always, we always have it, but we get confused by the senses and the mind, by our conditioning, by our training our culture which continually diminishes us in different ways. There’s an illusion that takes place so we forget it.'
Swamiji gives Satsang every Saturday night at the Mount Eliza Ashram from 7:30pm. You are welcome to come and join us and to visit the Ashram, where you can purchase Swamiji's books. For more information go to www.theashram.com.au or our Facebook page.
