5-Day Online Retreat Guided by Shunyamurti

December 30, 2022 - January 3, 2023

Desire, Dharma, and Deliverance

Facing the Final Hour

5-Day Online Retreat Guided by Shunyamurti

December 30, 2022 - January 3, 2023

In this retreat, we will learn how to abide in our Buddha Nature while the body is still alive.

We will also focus on the Dao of Apocalyptic times, learning how to deal with heart-wrenching situations, make difficult decisions, face oppression and hardship, calmly witness world destruction, and function as a beacon of light and empowerment to those lost in the darkness of despair.

Shunyamurti will draw from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, priceless Daoist wisdom about living in precarious times, Dogen Zenji’s approach to coping with food shortages and civil unrest, the heroic story and teachings of Daehaeng Sunim, inspiring lessons from the undaunted Christian desert fathers, and the redemptive instructions of our patron sages, Sri Ramana, Satpurusha Mangatram, Sri Aurobindo, Nisargadatta Maharaj, and the divine Ananda Mayi Ma.

Shunyamurti Invites You to the Retreat

The profound investigation into the roots of desire will be the centerpiece of the upcoming New Year retreat. We will learn how to manage and sublimate desire and how to attain authentic will power. Our goal is to bring about an alchemical transformation of desire into divine love and refine it even further into the Great Bliss of Liberation.

Testimonials

Many thanks to the Ashram and Shunya for facilitating this retreat. It was a wonderful and magical experience with deep knowledge and wisdom to keep going on the hero’s path. Shunya’s way of teaching–as always–is so open and well built up with lots of history and humor. I love that! What I like the most is that it truly helps in the process of realization.

~Laurens, The Netherlands

I was able to identify and navigate the implications of certain spiritual experiences that I have had in the past. It was surprising, and utterly invaluable. There were moments of pure cognition. It was very helpful and I really enjoy seeing other spiritual communities working so beautifully together and committed to the upliftment and unfolding of human consciousness. Very grateful.

~Lisa, Australia/India

This retreat was amazing. At the end of the first satsang I thought, wow, that was a whole retreat right in the first session. And it was just the beginning. It just got better. So many great teachings, wonderful meditations, and I feel very loved and supported. I am listening to the recordings every day and absorbing more knowledge. It had a big impact on me: Bliss is our natural state regardless of the circumstances!

~Sharon, USA

Testimonials

For me, facing, and going through this corona crisis would simply not be possible were it not for this retreat and for Shunyamurti’s mind-shattering teachings, and the salvific power and beauty that emanates from the Sat Yoga Ashram. A deeply felt thank-you!

~Michael May, Paris

It was the first time for me to attend an online retreat of this magnitude, and I found it an amazing experience. To me, Shunyamurti represents a teacher of great knowledge and the blending of spiritual knowledge, psychology, and quantum physics; the content of the teachings resonated with me and I’m looking forward to another online retreat.

~Tahera Ahmed, Switzerland

Thank you very much for this opportunity to attend this online retreat. Very, very grateful! The satsangs in real time were really powerful. Each time I joined the satsang I was immediately in my true nature. So, so beautiful… The peace and bliss are unbroken. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

~Usha Kumari, Malaysia

Every retreat with Shunyamurti opens deep-rooted blockages that were not necessarily in the conscious mind. The yearning for the ego death and merging in the real Self is deepening each time I find myself in Shunya and the Sangha’s presence.

~Gurleen Bhasin, Canada

I have been listening to Shunyamurti’s talks for a while but to be there online is a different experience. I felt connected and I felt I was actually there.  I hope to attend a retreat soon!

~Ana Margarita, Costa Rica

I’m blown away by the vastness of wisdom in these teachings. I’ve been searching for this guidance, for the way home, my whole life. I am so grateful to be here, with you all. Thank you Shunya, thank you Sangha! 

~Alexandra Lincoln, USA

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
