Swami Atmananda offers us to deepen the theme of spiritual Awakening, based on the tradition of Advaita Vedanta. Awakening is Pure Presence. It is neither an experience nor a state, but simply the spontaneous and immediate Recognition of our true Nature, the Self. There is no awakened one, only the Awakening…

This meeting in Budapest will unfold in two times, with a first Open Satsang on the evening of Friday 3 May, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., followed by the Satsang Intensive during the weekend on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 May, from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The latter will include two daily satsangs, question and answer sessions, and times for meditation. Depending on your availability, you can take part in both events or to only one of them.

Swami Atmananda Udasin is the Acharya (spiritual director) of the Ajatananda Ashram, an interreligious ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas at Rishikesh, India. After studying comparative religions and a long spiritual search, he met his master Sri Chandra Swami Udasin in India in 1990. He was then called to the life of a hermit for around 10 years. Originally from Belgium, he has been living in India since 1997. He teaches about the Direct Path of Non-Duality in the tradition of Advaita Vedanta, and offers satsangs and retreats in India and internationally.
