Sahaj Samadhi Meditation

The experience of meditation can take us beyond the usual mental stress and emotional agitation to a calm, centered place. Sahaj Samadhi Meditation is a graceful and effortless meditation.

Benefits: Sahaj Samadhi means effortless transcendence. Participants learn to let go of all tensions and stress, providing the mind with a much needed deep rest. It allows the conscious mind to settle deeply into itself. It is only in the present moment that we find true happiness. As the mind settles down, it centers itself more and more in the present moment and experiences a natural state of joy.


Course Details: In just three sessions of two hours, we learn to tap the depths of our nature. After the course we can use this simple meditation practice to overcome the effects of inevitable stressful situations and make a positive impact on the quality of our lives.

DSN - Creating a Divine Society

We all have personal barriers, old habits, or inhibitions that hold us back and keep us from more fully participating in life. At the same time, we all have a deep desire to be the best we can be - for ourselves, our families and dear ones, our communities, and even the world around us. But the truth is that those old emotional wounds, self-concepts, attitudes and fears, create a barrier between you and the ability to live your heart's desire.

Divya Samaj ka Nirmaan (The creation of a divine society) is a rigorous and transformational course, designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Through a powerful combination of Padma Sadhana, special meditations, breathing techniques, group processes, and deep spiritual knowledge, the DSN course empowers participants to break through personal inhibitions and barriers of all kinds. Dropping whatever does not serve your best interests is a completely liberating experience - it makes you so strong that nothing in this world can shake you.




When you are ready for true liberation, true freedom and personal empowerment, then you are ready for the power of DSN!

This four-day, full-time course, is open to all those who have completed the Art of Living Course. It is preferable to have completed aleast one advanced course as well.


The power of DSN can give us true liberation, true freedom and personal empowerment!
