This weekend, the sangha is gathering—and you’re invited to come check it out. There’s no obligation: You come as a guest, participate in the satsang, and become part of the group’s energy field.

Satsang has always been one of the time-tested keys of the Advaita tradition: sitting together in openness, in conversation with a teacher and with other seekers who are dedicated to the same question—WHO AM I REALLY? What emerges from this cannot be described in advance, but only experienced.

John David is a direct disciple of Papaji; he spent five years with him following a spontaneous awakening in his presence. Since then, he has led two spiritual communities in Spain and Germany and offers annual retreats on the sacred mountain Arunachala in South India—in homage to the saint Sri Ramana Maharshi, who spread the practice of self-inquiry through the question “Who am I?” throughout the world. He has published more than 35 books in 7 different languages on the teachings of Sri Ramana and Papaji.
