Satsang is the high point of the week at The Ashram Mt Eliza and is a festive and vibrant event. It’s the perfect program to attend if it’s your first time visiting the Ashram, are new to meditation or spirituality or even if you’re an avid spiritual practitioner. All are welcome. Satsang means ‘to keep the company of Truth.’ Coming together to be in Guruji’s company, we hear the teachings of the inner Self and the Great Beings from many different traditions.
Satsang includes a talk from Guruji and darshan which is a chance to meet him and Devi Ma in person. Darshan is translated as ‘to be seen by’ and is a moment of contact with the Guru, which is really a moment of contact with our own Self. There is also meditation and chanting, an uplifting yogic practice to still the mind and open the heart. Due to the current coronavirus restrictions satsang is only available online.
You are also welcome join us for a delicious vegetarian dinner at 6.00pm for $10 (currently unavailable due to coronavirus restrictions) and arati at 7.00pm, a devotional practice involving chanting and the waving of lights.
In Shiva Process Self-inquiry, a meditation technique created by Guruji, we use a series of questions to invoke the profound wisdom of the inner Self. We look directly at inner blocks and tension that cause us distress and separate us from peace, happiness and insight. Once seen and acknowledged, and with the guidance of an experience Shiva Process facilitator, you can learn how to undo them and find the upward shift. If it is your first time attending Shiva Process, please call to book.
In Study Group Guruji leads a discussion of selected texts and scriptures from various traditions. The chosen texts are always interesting and relevant to one’s spiritual practice. They are drawn from many sources, both East and West. Deepen your understanding of the inner process, and enjoy the opportunity to discuss spiritual topics with an enlightened master and fellow seekers. Schedule is subject to change, please call to confirm.
Chanting and meditation are essential to sustain a connection with the inner Self. The sacred text, the Guru Gita, is chanted in the ashram on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. Baba Muktananda called this ‘the one indispensable text’. It is a powerful practice to still the mind and open the heart. The Guru Gita is chanted for approximately 40 minutes and is followed by a 20 minute meditation.
