Open Satsang and Satsang Intensive in Budapest - May 2024

General Information and Registration

Spiritual Awakening and Non-duality

with Swami Atmananda

Budapest (Hungary), 3 – 5 May 2024

Presentation

Swami Atmananda will explore the nature of spiritual Awakening and the essential practices of Non-Duality according to the Advaita Vedanta tradition. 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…

The Budapest meeting will consist of two events, 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.
To register, please fill in the form at the bottom of this page.

Swami Atmananda Udasin is the Spiritual Head of the Ajatananda Ashram, an interreligious ashram in the Himalayan foothills 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.
