We request you to read the instructions carefully before you register. Please follow the link at the bottom of the page to complete the registration process once it opens up.
We invite you to a transformative one-day workshop with Sri M in the UK, delving into the profound depths of Dakshinamurthi Stotram, the sacred hymn composed by Adi Shankaracharya. Lord Dakshinamurthi, the eternal Guru, imparts wisdom not through words but through the silent transmission of truth (mauna upadesa), revealing the essence of the Self (Atma Vidya).
In this immersive session, Sri M will unravel the esoteric meanings of the verses, illuminating the path of non-duality (Advaita), inner stillness, and self-realization. The day will culminate in a Dhuni (sacred fire) meditation, where the ancient yogic tradition of meditating by the sacred flame will serve as a catalyst for inner purification, deep contemplation, and the awakening of higher consciousness.
This will be the only session in this year's workshops where the sacred Dhuni (fire) meditation will take place, offering a rare opportunity to experience its transformative energy.
NO Kriya Yoga initiation / Review will be part of this workshop.
Come, sit in the presence of Sri M, absorb the silence beyond words, and ignite the inner fire of wisdom in this rare gathering.
A small booklet of Sri Dakshinamurti Stotram published by Sri Ramakrishna Math will be distributed to all participants FREE of charge.
