13th July 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay explored spiritual teachings and meditation practices, particularly discussing Adi Shankaracharya's Aparokshanubhuti and Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi's teachings about self-realization. He shared stories about Professor Krishnamurti Ayer's transformative experience at Virupaksha Cave in 1914, where he unexpectedly prostrated before Bhagavan despite his initial skepticism toward spirituality and religion. The discussion emphasized the importance of contemplation on one's true nature, distinguishing between identifying with the body-mind and recognizing the pure witness consciousness that remains unchanging even during deep sleep. Participants explored how suffering arises from misidentification with temporary phenomena, and how practicing silence and surrendering the ego can help one abide in the natural state of bliss and pure awareness.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 !

24th June 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay discussed the book "Ribhu Gita," explaining that it is a 650-page, 44-chapter text translated from Tamil to English that contains dialogues between sage Ribu and his disciple Nidaga. He described how Bhagavan used to read this book daily during his time, emphasizing that the repetitive nature of the text mirrors their ongoing satsangs since 2019, focusing on shravan (listening), manan (contemplation), and Nidhidyasana (firm conviction). Sanjay read excerpts from chapter 26, poem 37, which describe the nature of the absolute truth and self-realization, explaining that the book helps dissolve the ego through repeated exposure to spiritual truth. He shared examples of how ancient sages like Raja Janak achieved realization through dialogues in other texts like Ashtavakra Gita, and explained that true understanding comes when one sees themselves as the uninvolved witness rather than the separate entity of mind-body. Sanjay concluded by emphasizing that knowing the truth brings freedom from all conditioning, religious teachings, and societal roles, leaving one in a state of eternal peace and contentment.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

Citações e trechos do livro “The Collected Works” de Robert Adams.Discípulo de Sri Ramana Maharshi, Robert Adams (1928 - 1997) foi um professor americano do não-dualismo, amplamente divulgado entre aqueles que investigam a filosofia Advaita e entre os devotos ocidentais de Bhagavan.Seu ensino baseava-se no caminho de Jñāna Yoga, com ênfase na prática da auto-investigação (Atma-Vichara). Ātmā Vicāra (विचार), é um termo sânscrito que significa o processo de investigar quem realmente somos, a investigação sobre a Natureza do Ser.Esta técnica é a que melhor exemplifica o Jñāna Yoga, o Yoga do Conhecimento sobre Si Mesmo.A meditação da auto investigação é a constante atenção para a consciência interior do “eu” ou “eu sou”, recomendado por Ramana Maharshi como o maneira mais eficiente e direta de descobrir a irrealidade do pensamento “eu” .Adams não escreveu nenhum livro nem publicou seus ensinamentos, pois não desejava ganhar muitos seguidores, em vez disso, preferiu ensinar um pequeno número de buscadores dedicados.Adams afirmou que não existia um novo ensino, e que este conhecimento pode ser encontrado nos Upanishads, nos Vedas e em outras escrituras milenares.

15th April 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay led a celebration of Bhagavan's Aradhana Day, marking 76 years since his mahasamadhi in 1950. He explained that while the term "celebration" might seem odd for someone's death, it represents honoring Bhagavan's teachings and the grace he shared with others. Sanjay discussed Bhagwan's death experience and his emphasis on the temporary nature of the body, comparing it to discarding a banana leaf after a meal. He highlighted the importance of both self-effort and devotion (Bhakti) in spiritual practice, drawing parallels between different spiritual traditions including Buddhism and Sufism. The discussion emphasized that true realization comes from looking within and finding the eternal self, which cannot be affected by death or physical circumstances. 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 !

Discourse by Revered Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati given on 28 March 2026 at Kali Mandir Ramakrishna Ashram. Swamiji continues his series on the Principles of Bhakti Yoga, reading from the teachings of Narada Muni from the Srimad Bhagavatam, Skanda 51, Discourse 5 (translation by Swami Bhajanananda): 1.5.8 śrī-nārada uvāca bhavatānudita-prāyaḿ yaśo bhagavato 'malam yenaivāsau na tuṣyeta. manye tad darśanaḿ khilam Sri Narada said: "You have not praised the stainless glories of Bhagavan.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 49 | Swami Mukundananda In this grand conclusion of the Srimad Bhagavatam, Swamiji shares Shree Krishna's ultimate message through the final narration of Shukadev to King Parikshit and the profound story of Markandeya Rishi. As Parikshit calmly enters samadhi and transcends death, the Bhagavatam reminds us that the soul is eternal and untouched by the destruction of the body. Markandeya Rishi's vision of Maha Pralaya reveals the mysterious power of God's Maya. In the midst of cosmic dissolution, he beholds Bal Mukund Shree Krishna peacefully resting on a banyan leaf — demonstrating that while universes arise and dissolve, the Supreme Lord alone remains eternal. What we consider permanent is temporary; what we chase as happiness is often illusion. True security lies only in devotion to God. Swamiji concludes with prayers of gratitude to Guru, Param Guru, and Bhagavan, emphasizing the transformative power of chanting the Lord's holy names. The Srimad Bhagavatam comes to its glorious close with a timeless assurance: by remembering Shree Krishna with faith and love, the soul transcends Maya and attains eternal bliss. About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.
In this part, Swamiji explains the six questions raised by the sages of Naimisharanya and how Suta Goswami answered them. The sages asked: what is the highest welfare in Kali Yuga, the essence of all scriptures, the reason for Krishna's descent, His divine pastimes, the other avatars of God, and where Dharma resides after His departure. Suta Goswami revealed that the supreme Dharma is pure devotion to the Lord, free from selfish motives. He clarified that the Absolute Truth is realized in three aspects — Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan — with Bhagavan, the personal form of God, being supreme. The Lord descends to uplift souls, restore Dharma, and reveal His purifying pastimes. Swamiji then narrates the 24 principal avatars of God described in the Bhagavatam: the Four Kumaras, Varaha, Narad, Nar‑Narayan, Kapil, Dattatreya, Yajna, Rishabh, Prithu, Matsya, Kurma, Dhanvantari, Mohini, Narsimha, Vaman, Parashuram, Vyas, Ram, Balaram, Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki who will appear at the end of Kali Yuga. Each avatar demonstrates a unique aspect of divine compassion, guidance, and protection. This part emphasizes that after Krishna's departure, Dharma has taken shelter in the Srimad Bhagavatam, which shines like the sun to dispel the darkness of Kali Yuga.

These profound teachings on the nature of pure consciousness as taught by Sri Ramana Maharshi were taken from various sources/texts, including, 'Talks with Ramana Maharshi,' 'Day by Day with Bhagavan' and 'The Maharshi's Gospel'.Ramana Maharshi (1879 -1950) was an Indian sage and jivanmukta (liberated being). He was born Venkataraman Iyer, but is mostly known by the name Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. He was born in Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, India. In 1895, an attraction to the sacred hill Arunachala and the 63 Nayanmars was aroused in him and in 1896, at the age of 16, he had a "death-experience" where he became aware of a "current" or "force" which he recognized as his true "I" or "Self".Music: Arunachala Siva chant - produced by Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning, Bangalore - India._____________________________
