Friends of SwamiJ.com:
Connecting in Your Community
by Swami Jnaneshvara
Bharati
Home
Update (May 6, 2009):
A total of 13 people have asked to participate in the Satsang of
Community networking, and are now listed below. I appreciate their interest and hope that their local
gatherings become fruitful for themselves and others. If you are reading
this page, and would also like to participate by being listed here,
please
contact me.
Connecting in Your
Community:
People often ask me if
I travel to their city or country (I travel little, other than retreats
in India), or if I have personal contacts/students in their area who are
teaching the principles and practices specifically as I have described
them on the site (and in alignment with the
tradition of which I am a part). While I am not trying to
establish "branches" or "centers" in other locations,
I have great compassion for such sincere seekers, and it
seems a good idea to connect people with one another whether for
individual friendship, informal satsang groups, or classes in alignment
with our perspective and tradition.
If you are ardent about
the particular teachings and approaches on the SwamiJ.com website and
would like to connect with other such people in your geographic area,
please scroll through the list below. If you would like to be listed
below, please
contact me.
-
If you and I
already know each other very well, then please write to me
requesting to be listed here. Be sure to include the listing
information below.
-
If you and I have only briefly met, or have not met at all, please write with a more detailed description about
yourself, your interests, and why you want to be listed here.
-
Please do not ask to use this page solely as a
way to promote your business or other services if you do not have a
strong interest in the articles and practices on the SwamiJ.com
website.
When you send me your
information, please include the following. I'll contact you by email to
verify the information once posted on this webpage.
- Your real name
- City and country
- Preferred contact
information, whether phone, email or website
- A brief note (up to 25
words) about your interest in SwamiJ.com, and what you are
doing, or want to do (weekly satsang/fellowship, classes, individual
connection, etc.).
-
If you have a website, facebook page, or other such page, please
include that as well, if you wish.
NOTE:
I personally know most of the people below. They are very sincere in
their practices and gathering with others who are of like mind and
interest in practices. Please contact them directly so that you can
together decide on what you would like to do in your community. Here are
a few other, somewhat related links:

-------
This site is devoted to
presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of
the Tradition of the Himalayan masters
in simple, understandable and beneficial ways, while not compromising
quality or depth. The goal of our sadhana or practices is the highest
Joy that comes from the Realization in direct experience of the
center of consciousness, the Self, the Atman or Purusha, which is
one and the same with the Absolute Reality.
This Self-Realization comes through Yoga meditation of the Yoga
Sutras, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the
intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which
complement one another like fingers on a hand.
We employ the classical approaches of Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti
Yoga, as well as Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha,
and Tantra Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer
finally converge into a unified force directed towards the final
stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the
Absolute.
