[Guest guest]

This spiritual discussion group is an open Satsang and is blessed by Sri Ramana

Maharshi, the great Jnani Sage of Arunachala. a is in the best

tradition of a joyous spiritual fellowship for facilitating the Recognition of

the Eternal Reality that is One's Own Self. "I Am That!" This is the

uncompromising, simple, and yet Radical Truth proclaimed in a variety of ways by

the ancient and modern Sages of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Taoism. In

Advaita Vedanta, the highest teaching emphasizes the complete identity of the

Individual Soul with the Supreme Soul. In Tibetan Buddhism, Dzogchen is

considered the supreme teaching and represents the nondual focus on one's innate

wakefulness. How beautiful the variety of expressions in so many different

traditions! We embrace this variety with great joy and in fellowship in

a.

 

No religion or teacher or tradition has a monopoly on the Essential Truth of

Reality which is Our Own Nature. In this context, a focuses on the

aspirations and experiences of individuals on the spiritual path. Everyone

interested in any of the Shiva and Shakti traditions, and the related yogic and

tantric paths as well as those practicing primarily the cognitive methods of the

pure nondual teachings of great Jnanis such as Ramana Maharshi are welcome to

join. The discussions are typically expected to focus on Self-Realization,

Kundalini Shakti and Its Manifestations, God-Realization, the Goddess,

Enlightenment, and various types of Samadhis (Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa).

Discussion of various teachers and teachings can also be enriching as long as

there is mutual respect and a feeling of amity in the conversation. Humor and

poetry and other artistic expressions of the spiritual life are encouraged and

supported. May God Bless everyone with Peace, Joy, and Understanding. May we all

nourish and heal each other in the spirit of Compassion, Wisdom and Love. OM

Shanti, Shanti, Shanti. Peace to all living beings.
