What it really means to be free.

Spiritual discourse and profound insights into Samadhi as detailed in the Yoga Vasistha. Samadhi is defined as "super-consciousness, inner peace, absorption" and Yoga Vasistha is the core of all Vedanta scriptures. In this enlightening double new moon Satsang, we enter the nature of Samadhi and hear the teachings imparted directly by Sage Vasistha to Prince Rama.

**** In Divine and Loving Remembrance of Sri Swami Nikhilananda Saraswati ****

Sri Sudarshan will detail in this Satsang:

The Nature of a Sage's Samadhi: Understanding how a Yogi experiences and attains Samadhi as a result of mastering the mind's divine psychology and transcending worldly distractions.
Role of Discernment, Dispassion and Detachment: Insights into how your actions, desires, subtle desires and impressions operate consciously, subconsciously and unconsciously.
The Sage's Equal Vision: How a Yogi, in the state of Samadhi, letting go of ego-based identification, perceives the simultaneous unity of all beings and the non-dual nature of existence.

Through this selected chapter and section of the Yoga Vasistha, Swami Jyotirmayananda (Guru) and Sri Sudarshan (Disciple) provide an opportunity to connect with the timeless wisdom of the ancient Rishis, inspiring and deepening your understanding of the inner realms for you to embark on your own journey toward spiritual awakening and Self-realization... guiding you to the ultimate goal of real Freedom!

Special Topic of the Night:

Yoga Vasistha, translated by H. H. Gurudev Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda

Commentary, Explanation and Insights from Sri Sudarshan Jyotirmayananda

In Yoga Vasistha, the concept of Samadhi is not merely a state of deep meditation but real transcendence - the culmination of a Yogi's inner journey toward realizing the one, true and absolute Self. It represents a state where the individual ego has dissolved, and the soul merges with the cosmic will of universal consciousness, transcending all afflictions and apparent dualities. Through this discourse, we become intimate with the essence of this higher state of awareness.
