25th May 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching session focused on self-realization and the nature of the Atman (self). He explained that all forms of worship and devotion should ultimately lead to recognizing one's true nature as uninvolved awareness, distinct from the body-mind complex. Sanjay emphasized that people are not the physical form or mental activities they experience, but rather the witnessing consciousness that remains uninvolved even during dreams and waking states. He discussed the concept of total acceptance as a trait of the Atman, contrasting it with the ego's limited acceptance, and shared that true understanding can come quickly when one is 100% convinced of their uninvolved nature. The session concluded with teachings about remaining in inner silence and using the question "Who am I?" to dissolve the illusory ego, with Sanjay noting that this spiritual truth is accessible to anyone regardless of education or background.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

20th May 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay conducted a Satsang gathering to explain the true meaning of spiritual practice, distinguishing it from ordinary meetings or intellectual discussions about spirituality. He emphasized that genuine Satsang involves being with reality within oneself through humble and honest seeking, whether in community or solitude, and explained that the profound divine energy experienced during spiritual practice varies in intensity depending on one's surroundings and level of focus. When Radhika asked about experiencing emptiness and sadness while practicing awareness, Sanjay advised focusing on pure awareness rather than emotions or thoughts, explaining that these experiences indicate the mind's involvement and recommended surrendering completely to the awareness without expectations or personal goals. He stressed that true realization comes through either surrender or the path of knowledge (self-inquiry), warning against practices that feed the ego, and encouraged practicing with complete openness and devotion to discover the impersonal, eternal awareness within.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

11th May 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching emphasizing the vital practice of remaining as an uninvolved witness to the actions of the body and mind. Using the metaphor of a man riding an elephant, he explained that the true Self is completely separate from the movements of the physical form. He contrasted the scientific view of a material universe with the spiritual reality that consciousness is the ultimate source, a truth proven by our continued existence in deep, mindless sleep. Addressing the ego's fear that relinquishing "doership" will result in a loss of enjoyment or productivity, Sanjay reassured seekers that abiding in choiceless awareness actually transforms mundane actions into divine movements. Ultimately, recognizing oneself as pure silence unlocks a spontaneous, causeless bliss that far exceeds any pleasure the conditioned mind can pursue.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

He highlighted how the mind constantly divides and creates "fake news" of discrimination, urging seekers to treat all worldly projections like an illusory movie and to abide instead in the unified silence of the heart. The session beautifully concluded with a guest speaker, Lakshmi from Nepal, who shared her transformative journey from practicing Vipassana to discovering profound inner silence through Ramana Maharshi's teachings via Conscious Circle, culminating in her writing a book and devoting her life to solitude.

4th May 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching on the necessity of realizing our true nature as unborn, pure awareness, completely distinct from the transient body-mind "gadget." He explained that while surrendering to a personal God is a useful stepping stone for the ego, ultimate liberation requires dropping all separation and merging directly into the Source, an approach favored by the Buddha. Highlighting humanity's addiction to mind-made suffering and the illusion of birth, Sanjay used metaphors of a broken pitcher in the ocean and an unblemished movie screen to illustrate how the true Self is never touched by karma, death, or worldly drama. He urged seekers to withdraw their senses inward like a tortoise, dropping the illusion of "doership" to seamlessly experience the inherent bliss (Ananda) of empty silence.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

Sharing an anecdote about a person addicted to their own anxiety, Sanjay highlighted how the ego actively avoids peace because it thrives on restlessness, goals, and the illusion of "doership." He advised seekers to reclaim their true authority by moving their awareness from the anxious head to the peaceful inner silence of the heart, a shift that naturally dissolves the false "I-thought," eradicates anxiety, and awakens infinite compassion for all forms.

Sanjay warned that by identifying with the finite body, humans mistakenly seek external validation and happiness through worldly desires, acting like beggars sitting on hidden treasure.

20th April 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching on the eternal and formless nature of the self, emphasizing that humanity's primary suffering stems from identifying with the restless, ever-changing mind. He explained that instead of endlessly trying to fix or pacify the mind—which he compared to a "drunk monkey" with a fever—seekers should use discernment (Viveka) to completely detach from the body-mind complex. By recognizing that waking life is merely a thought-fueled projection, Sanjay guided listeners to direct their attention inward to the deep silence of the heart (Hridayam), where the illusion of the ego naturally dissolves.
