“Meditation is the greatest gift you can give yourself.”
— Sogyal Rinpoche

“Whatever you want to see outside, create it within, develop it inside. That is the real purpose behind meditation and any spiritual practice.”
– Sri Swami Satchidananda

Join Swami Divyananda Friday, August 7-16 ⋅ 9:00 – 10:00am PT | 12:00 – 1 pm ET for ten days of guidance and practice of meditation. Starting with ten minutes, the meditation sessions will increase to one full hour on the tenth day. Accept this challenge and invite your life to be fully transformed! Daily, 10 times.

Whether brand-new to meditation or experienced-but-struggling, these sessions will address your needs and give you the tools and support to sustain and advance a meditation practice. With today’s myriad outside influences, what means most to our hearts can easily get muddled and lost. However, it is possible to reconnect with the Higher Self and see beyond external messages through meditation and yogic practices. By calming the body, quieting the mind, and allowing for inner reflection, our authentic hearts can be felt.

During this online meditation program, you will have access to Live sessions with Swami Divyananda at 12–1 pm EDT each day. In addition, you will have access to the Ashram’s Live Hatha Yoga classes at 5 pm and access to an online social community to connect and communicate with other participants about this course.

Satsang: Cleaning your Closets

Please register in advance, a Zoom link will be provided via a confirmation email.

Stuffed at the back of our closets is the evidence of poor choices, unconscious or rushed moments and procrastination … and cleaning closets is usually the last item at the very bottom of your work list. If we could see clearly into the mind, we would find the same heap of rubble tucked away, halfway out of conscious awareness.
Astonishingly, as we clean and put our material closets in order, the mental closets come into view and call for the same attentions. This is the practice of the niyama Saucha, a powerful tool on the path to Realization.
