Satsang 16.00 - ca. 18.00 with Swami Janakananda
Conversations on yoga and meditation
Ask questions, or just come and listen.
Swami Janakananda will talk and answer questions about classical yoga and tantric meditation. The Satsang will end with a guided meditation.
"I do not think I need to teach any sort of philosophy or idealism. It would just be one more thing to discuss and disagree about. What is to discuss about an experience that gives you more energy, greater calm? "
“The mystic experience remains the same from culture to culture, from age to age, everywhere on earth. It is based on a search, on methods and on real knowledge.”
"Behind much of yogic philosophy, behind much occult talk, behind much doomsday worship and sectarianism, there is often a desperate desire to be somewhere else, to get away as soon as possible to something other than the present. People talk of "the spiritual" and "the other side", but where are you in all this, where do you find peace?
