  709. Ajātivāda - Nothing has ever been born, created, or destroyed - Non Duality Satsang 13.09.2026 56mnt

  19th Aug 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay led a meeting where participants shared experiences and asked questions about spirituality. Sanjay discussed a recent visit from Swami Sarvapriyananda from New York who blessed the land where they are building a meditation center called Ramana Arunachala Mandiram. The main portion involved questions about emotional experiences during meditation and free will versus destiny, which led to an extensive discussion about the nature of the ego and self-realization. Sanjay explained that true freedom comes from understanding that there is no separate "I" doing actions, and advised combining both knowledge (Jnana Marga) and devotion (Bhakti Marga) in spiritual practice. He also discussed methods to reduce doership, recommending continuing the practice of offering actions to the Lord while suggesting that self-inquiry could be an effective complementary approach. The conversation ended with Sanjay announcing that this would be their last Satsang before traveling to Arunachala, with the next meeting scheduled for September 9th.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

  708. Meditate on Inner Silence, the Pure Awareness - Non Duality Meditation 06.09.2026 57mnt

  17th Aug 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay conducted a meditation session focused on teaching participants how to find inner silence through a technique of self-enquiry. He explained that meditation involves deliberately paying attention to inner silence rather than following thoughts, and introduced a method of asking "to whom do these thoughts arise?" followed by "who am I?" to reach this inner silence. Sanjay described how this practice can lead to realization of one's true nature as pure awareness or Brahman Atman, dissolving the ego and ending suffering. He emphasized that this inner journey transcends identification with the body and mind, leading to eternal liberation through grace, and concluded by encouraging participants to maintain faith in the practice and their guru.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

  706. Give Up Indentification with the Mind and be Eternally Free - Non Duality Satsang 23.08.2026 1j 6mnt

  12th Aug 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay focused on how to respond to injustice and emotional reactions in daily life while staying grounded in awareness. A participant asked about the difficulty of knowing when to act or remain uninvolved when witnessing bad behavior, and Sanjay emphasized that true action comes from a place of non-attachment and without hatred or passion, as exemplified by Krishna’s teachings in the Mahabharata. Sanjay explained that emotional “tsunamis” and inner conflict arise from identification with the mind and its reactions, and that the solution lies in recognizing that the problem is within oneself, not in external situations. A participant shared a personal example about reacting to a kitten’s sudden aggression and feeling guilt afterward, and Sanjay advised that preparedness comes from ongoing contemplation and meditation, not from trying to control reactions in the moment. The discussion covered the importance of solitude, silent practice, and surrendering the sense of doership, with references to Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi, Buddha, and the power of inner silence. Sanjay encouraged participants to focus on the unchanging, eternal awareness rather than the changing mind, and to let go of ownership of thoughts and emotions to abide in peace. The session ended with reflections on the value of silence, the futility of chasing worldly success, and the lasting peace that comes from realizing the self.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

  705. Focus on Self which is Pure Silence - Non Duality Meditation 17.08.2026 56mnt

  10th Aug 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a comprehensive teaching on the spiritual path of self-realization, drawing from Mandukya Upanishad and Bhagavan Ramana's teachings. He explained that the ultimate reality is the "fourth state" (Turiya) - an unconditioned consciousness that is neither subjective nor objective, but awareness itself. Sanjay emphasized that true knowledge of self requires both effort and grace, clarifying that grace is not merely external devotion but includes the profound inner effort of seeking truth. He discussed the importance of combining both knowledge (Gyan Marga) and devotion (Bhakti Marga) in this unique path, noting that silence is the primary technique where one turns inward to observe the nature of thoughts and ultimately discovers the underlying silence that is one's true nature. Sanjay warned against casual approaches to spiritual practice, stressing that serious seekers must maintain alertness and dedication, as the path requires consistent inner work to remove ignorance and reveal the natural state of peace and bliss that is always present within.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

He emphasized that the practice of staying in inner silence without thoughts leads to eternal peace, contentment, and bliss, as this pure awareness is our natural state that cannot be lost even if memory fades.
