Advaita Vedanta Ashram Europe (AVAE) is hosting a FREE event in Brighton on Thursday, 7th of May, from 7 - 9pm.The location is very central: Friends' Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton, BN1 1AF
The event will be presented as follows:
– Short traditional discourse on Advaita Vedanta
– Guided Vedantic Meditation (Nididhyasanam)
– Questions and answers
– Deeksha (initiation) for those who are interested and willing to follow certain requirements.
All sincere seekers are welcome, whether they are already familiar with Advaita Vedanta, or are keen to find out what traditional Advaita Vedanta is.
Please note: we belong to the traditional lineage of Advaita Vedanta, transmitted directly from Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, and before him from his Guru, and his Guru before him, in an unbroken, beginningless paramparā.
These teachings have always been offered freely to humanity, and this remains true today. An authentic Guru does not charge for the transmission of the teachings.
Sadly, in the modern world, many so-called Gurus commodify Advaita Vedanta - teachings that have been freely given for millennia. More importantly, they present only a fragment of the path, omitting the complete, systematic methodology required by a sincere seeker. In this way, the teachings become incomplete and the seeker is lost. This is especially evident in Neo-Advaita, Neo-Vedanta, and the path of so-called “non-duality.”
We therefore offer a different paradigm: the teachings of an authentic, unbroken lineage, grounded in a tried and tested methodology that addresses the whole of the path and has consistently led seekers to Self-realisation. These teachings are offered freely, exactly as they always have been.
PRIVATE MEETINGS
Sincere seekers who would like to meet Saccidananda Acarya privately are warmly invited to arrange a one-on-one meeting with him during his upcoming UK visit.
He will be available from the 7th to the 10th of May, and in the early part of the 11th. These individual meetings offer a rare opportunity for direct guidance, specific to the individuals needs.
Meetings can take place in any quiet and comfortable environment - such as a park, café, or your own living space - wherever a conducive atmosphere can be found.
To arrange a time, please email: [email protected]
Kindly include your availability and any preferences you may have, so that we can schedule a suitable meeting.
GURU DAKSINA
In alignment with our sacred Guru Paramparā, the nectar of Vedantic knowledge is offered freely, as it has been since beginningless time. This teaching is a gift (vidyā dānam), given without expectation, by a teacher who is a causeless ocean of compassion (ahetuka dayāsindhuḥ).
A student's role is to receive this knowledge with a heart of gratitude and reverence. An essential part of this sacred exchange is dakṣiṇā – an entirely voluntary offering given according to the student's capacity. This is a purifying act that completes the learning process, transforming it into a sāttvic (pure) endeavour.
Dakṣiṇā is a sacred contribution that supports the preservation of this eternal tradition – helping sustain the teaching lineage and creating opportunities for this wisdom to reach future generations.
With this in mind, whoever feels moved to make a heartfelt offering towards the cost of holding this free event, is most welcome to do so.
