Volunteer

6 Months

Volunteers are an integral part of the Sat Yoga Ashram, enabling deep and nourishing connections. Volunteers support our daily work and receive an accelerated initiation into ego transcendence. Our volunteer program is an intense three to six-month immersion into yogic life.

What is the difference between the Immersion and the Experience Program?

The Ashram Experience is different from the Immersion Program mainly in the emphasis of the program. In both programs, you will experience the Sat Yoga way of life including karma yoga (selfless service), gyana (teachings), meditation, and dharma (our way of life and rules of living). However, whereas the Immersion Program is mainly focused on study and meditation, the Ashram Experience is based much more on karma yoga (selfless service).

The Immersion Program offers participants daily theory classes (up to 6 a week) in small group settings for the duration of the program that provide the fundamental concepts of Sat Yoga philosophy. Immersion students usually participate in 4 – 6 hours of karma yoga a week.  During the Ashram Experience, only two-three weekly theory classes are offered, whereas participants contribute 18 – 20 weekly hours of karma yoga. In both programs, there are opportunities for one-to-one meditations with senior students as well as daily participation in our community classes.

Karma Yoga:

This terms refers to all our acts of service to God-Self, to community, to Nature, and to our world, that constitutes the body-and-mind’s dedication to ongoing resonance with the Source of our Being. This produces the optimal outcome for all and the end of suffering.

Brahmachari:

One whose consciousness has merged with Brahman, the Absolute, and thus has been liberated from all desire, fear, attachment, and material frames of reference. Thus, a Brahmachari naturally lives a life of celibacy, simplicity, and inner solitude.

Close

Satsang:

Meditative meetings in which the highest teachings are shared. Shunyamurti also offers guidance during questions and answers to resolve the most difficult and delicate matters of the heart.

Close

Teleological:

Information, energy, or nonlinear change that occurs as the effect of events that take place in the future and alter the past, which is perceived in the present as non-ordinary phenomena, synchronicities, unpredictable emergent properties or other notable explicate arisings. The source of such forces may also lie beyond chronological time, in higher dimensions of the Real.

Close

The process of non-process:

Since awakening is instantaneous, along with the recognition that one was never really in the dream, but enjoying the creation of the dream, it must be understood that making awakening into a process can only be part of the dream, and has nothing to do with Awakening itself.

Close

The Real:

When we speak of the Real, unless otherwise qualified, we mean the Supreme Real. The Supreme Real does not appear. Appearance is not Real. All that appears is empty of true existence. There are no real things. All that is phenomenal is temporary, dependent, and reducible to a wave function of consciousness. The world does not exist independent of consciousness. There is no matter or material world. All is made of consciousness. Pure consciousness is Presence. It is no-thing, non-objective, not in space or time. All that appears in Presence, or to Presence, is an emanation of Presence, but is not different from That. This is one meaning of nonduality.

The Real is also a term used in Lacanian psychoanalysis. What Lacan means by the Real is that aspect of phenomenal appearance which is overwhelming, traumatic, or impossible. We would call that Real One. It is a relative Real, not Absolute. We add that there is a Real Two, which consists of divine love. Love is not an appearance, but it changes appearance, through recognition of its Source, into a divine manifestation, a projection of God’s sublimely beautiful Mind as infinite fractal holographic cosmos. Real Three is the unchanging Absolute, beyond all conception or image.

Close

Dharma and dharma:

When we use the term Dharma (capitalized), we refer to our dedication to living in accord with the timeless principles of impeccable integrity that keep us in harmony with Nature and our Supernatural Source.

When we use the term without capitalization, we refer to our acceptance of the community’s processes, protocols, and chain of command with the “Haji! Spirit” of going the “extra mile” and working overtime when necessary to make the impossible inevitable, as our unconditional act of surrender to Love.
