7th March 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching session focused on self-realization and the nature of consciousness. He explained that the true self is pure awareness, distinct from the body-mind complex, and emphasized that recognizing this fundamental truth leads to liberation from suffering and fear.

He shared an example of a patient who creates imaginary scenarios in their mind as a way to process unresolved issues, illustrating how people can get trapped in mental constructs. Sanjay concluded by emphasizing that true freedom comes from recognizing and abiding in pure awareness, where one becomes a witness rather than an involved participant in mental activity, ultimately achieving moksha or ultimate liberation.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

He also discussed the importance of silence and stillness, suggesting practices like pranayama to experience this inner peace. Sanjay concluded by urging attendees to transcend identification with the mind and to realize their eternal freedom, which is already inherent, regardless of external circumstances.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

25th Feb 2026 In this Satsang, the meeting focused on the pursuit of Self-realization and the challenges faced in achieving it. Sanjay discussed how the human desire to understand the self is as old as humanity itself, and he emphasized the importance of looking within rather than seeking external changes to find true happiness. He highlighted the obstacles posed by the mind, which often leads individuals to pursue temporary solutions like drugs or adventurous behaviors. Sanjay stressed that true self-realization requires destroying the mind's influence and merging it with the source, a journey that must be undertaken alone despite the support systems available in Satsang. He also warned against individuals who claim self-realization but continue to be driven by sensual desires, urging attendees to be cautious of such people and their teachings. The discussion concluded with Sanjay encouraging attendees to live in awareness, practice silence, and trust in their inherent self, which is beyond name and form, to achieve lasting peace and freedom.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
