(Below is the status of your Enlightenment Cart)
Your
Cart is both Empty and Full:
Your
Cart is Empty in that there is no dollar fee totaled here. The
higher teachings and direct experiences cannot be purchased at any
price. Isn't it true
that, in some way, we want to be able to spend a few
dollars to avoid the journey within? To pay somebody to do our inner
work for us, like our household chores? The sad truth is
that the ancient teachings have been turned into businesses. Equally sad is that people are actually going along with this.
Your
Cart is Full in that the abundant universe is rich with help for
the true seeker, whether you refer to that help as God, grace, guru,
or some other name. The physical aid, helper, mentor, teacher, or guru
is also there in one form or another for those who are sincerely willing do the work on
themselves and systematically move through the layers of ones being,
so as to finally discover the True Self at the core of our being.
More and more, the ancient teachings
of meditation and contemplation are being altered and presented in very
costly packaged, trademarked seminar and workshop offerings that serve only to
entertain the customer, rather than guide the seeker.
People are being charged thousands of
dollars for mantras that have been traditionally been given as a gift
from a teacher to a sincere student. Initiations to spiritual practices
are literally being offered online, not just as humor, but truly
enticing unsuspecting seekers into their traps.
Everything
needed for the spiritual journey is within. The true teacher in the
external world is not a business person, but rather, an instrument
through which the higher teacher teaches you to find the teacher within
yourself.
May
you find the path that is perfect for you.
May you find the external mentor or guide who is just right.
May you find the teacher within.
May your journey lead you to That, which you seek.
May your practices today bring you peace, happiness, and bliss.

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.
