Satsang is a Sanskrit term derived from two roots: sat meaning "true’" and sangha meaning community or association or simply "being in the company of truth," and refers to the act of gathering with Sattvic-minded, uplifting beings, especially spiritual seekers. The philosophy of Advaita or Non-Duality is about All is one, Pure Self.Om Peace Peace Peace.For more information:https://[email protected]

    664. Seek the Happiness Within, Which Is Eternal and Permanent - Non Duality Satsang

    6th May 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching on the futility of searching for permanent happiness and immortality in the external world. Drawing on a story from Buddha's time about a warrior seeking a physical place where no one dies, he explained that true immortality and eternal bliss (Satchitananda) can only be found by turning inward and realizing the unchanging, formless Self. 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. Sanjay celebrated her dedication, discussed the idea of an inclusive spiritual center, and announced upcoming Hindi Satsangs for the community.

    663. Give up Association with insentient body mind and attain immortality - Non Duality Meditation

    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.

    662. Brahman is the reality which pervades all - Non Duality Meditation

    2nd May 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching on the necessity of shifting our identity from the temporary body-mind complex to the eternal, formless Self, comparing individual forms to waves in the vast ocean of consciousness. He explained that physical suffering or disease should serve as an urgent prompt for self-inquiry rather than a source of identification, as the true Self remains forever pure and untouched by worldly afflictions. 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. These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

    660. Reality is Unchanging and Ever Present - Non Duality Meditation

    27th April 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching focused on the inner journey from identification with the mind-body complex to pure consciousness. He explained that the mind projects both the outer world of things and beings, as well as an inner world consisting of the subtle body, mind, intellect, and life force. Sanjay emphasized that true freedom comes from recognizing one's true nature as pure awareness rather than being trapped in the ego and mind-body identification. He shared teachings about enlightenment, including the story of a person who achieved spiritual realization after hearing about Arunachala, and discussed both the paths of self-inquiry and devotion as ways to liberation. The discussion concluded with guidance on maintaining awareness without identification with thoughts, emotions, or bodily actions, leading to a state of pure bliss and understanding.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

    659. Being Desireless is True Wisdom - Non Duality Meditation

    25th April 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay discussed about the illusion of human control, explaining that while the physical body and the universe are bound by time and destined to be destroyed, our true essence belongs to the changeless, eternal Creator. He emphasized that true immortality cannot be found through physical longevity, but only through the spiritual "posture" of abiding in the pure, inner self and completely ignoring the restless mind. Sanjay stressed the necessity of personal effort, urging seekers to surrender their desires and false identities to the profound power of inner silence. By doing so, the fire of this pure awareness burns away all karmas and ego, allowing the individual to transcend the suffering of the world and rest as the liberated, uninvolved witness. These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

    658. Ego is the Ghost which Disappears on Investigation - Non Duality Satsang

    22nd April 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay discussed on the illusory nature of the ego, explaining that the true self is pure, eternal consciousness rather than the limited body-mind complex. He highlighted that neither the inert physical body nor the eternal consciousness fears death; instead, this fear belongs solely to the ego—a "ghost" that only exists when uninvestigated but vanishes under the light of self-inquiry. 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. He concluded that through direct, intense devotion to the inner silence, true seekers can dissolve the false boundaries of the ego, realizing they are not separate individuals but expressions of one vast, blissful ocean of awareness.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

    657. Beyond the mind is the stillness we seek ! - Non Duality Meditation

    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. He concluded that true peace is not something to be achieved or proven in the external world, but is found by resting as pure, intention-less consciousness, free from all desires and forms.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

    656. Face to Face Satsang of April 2026

    18th April 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay and the participants engaged in a profound Satsang exploring the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, specifically focusing on self-inquiry and shifting one's perspective from the external world to the internal source of awareness. The discussion highlighted the realization that the internal "I Am" projects the mind, body, and world, rather than the world causing our experiences. Sanjay also emphasized that seekers often fall into the trap of chasing temporary spiritual experiences, advising them instead to anchor into the pure, uninvolved silence that is present even in deep sleep. By holding onto this unchanging awareness during the waking state, the ego and the illusion of a separate "doer" naturally dissolve, leading to a state of profound peace, spontaneous compassion, and a direct recognition of the ever-present True Self within.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

    655. Bhagavan's 76th Aradhana Day Satsang - Turn within to realise your true Self !

    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.

    654. Question the Seeker and the Seeker will disappear - Non Duality Meditation

    13th April 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay discussed on the nature of suffering and the self, explaining that true seekers must go beyond conventional understanding to discover that there is no separate "sufferer" - only the illusion of individual existence. He discussed how most people use various mechanisms to cope with suffering, from drugs and therapies to time healing, but argued that true liberation comes from realizing the non-existence of the individual self through self-inquiry. Sanjay emphasized that this realization leads to a state of connectedness with all existence, where the ego dissolves and one experiences pure awareness as the underlying reality that is both eternal and blissful.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

    11th April 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching on self-realization and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. He explained that merely believing in religious texts or following methods without genuine intention and practice is insufficient for true awakening. Sanjay emphasized that the key to breaking free from illusion lies in developing deep intention, longing, and devotion, while practicing honest effort in following spiritual teachings. He discussed the nature of the mind's constant outward focus and explained that true realization comes when one can maintain impartial witness consciousness regardless of external circumstances.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

These podcasts are from ongoing Advaita or Non-duality Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Centre for Self Realisation in Melbourne, Australia. Satsang is a Sanskrit term derived from two roots: sat meaning "true’" and sangha meaning community or association or simply "being in the company of truth," and refers to the act of gathering with Sattvic-minded, uplifting beings, especially spiritual seekers. The philosophy of Advaita or Non-Duality is about All is one, Pure Self.Om Peace Peace Peace.For more information:https://[email protected]
