WHAT IS REFLECTED CONSCIOUSNESS? “So, if we have a mirror, and we have the reflection of our face in the mirror; the reflection of our face in the mirror - is it outside of the nature of the mirror? No. So, the mirror itself and the face are one and the same, isn’t it? But the reflection is not our face. (It’s a reflection) Yes, we need somebody who is looking, we need this ‘I am-ness’ to recognize that this is a face, and say this is the face of the appearance of the body-mind complex, isn’t it? Can we have the recognition, or the perception of the face, without the ‘I am-ness?’ Not at all. So, this is the body-mind complex, it is a reflection of Consciousness, in Itself, by Itself. And the body-mind complex believes, this borrowed consciousness, believes that it is a separate entity from the Being-ness itself, the Is-ness itself. But the Is-ness and the I am-ness, does not belong to the body-mind complex – it is not the property of the body-mind complex. It is the property of Itself. Consciousness, Awareness, Is-ness, I am-ness, Brahman, we may give it different names, but it is the same Absolute Reality. So, there is not any inherent, individual existence, but we borrow our apparent existence, our apparent appearance and recognition and perception, through Consciousness Itself, which is only singular.” FOR THE FULL QUOTE, PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO.

Established in Brahman is a series of spontaneous discussions on Advaita Vedanta between Sacchidananda Acharya and his shishya (student) Subodhananda. This essential Satsanga (spiritual discussion) focuses on the practice of Awareness in daily life; the importance and function of Sravanam (Scriptural study); Mananam (clarification of doubts with the Guru); Nidhi Dhyasanam (Vedantic Meditation); the importance and function of the Guru and the Holy Lineage and the exhortation to take the essence of this precious human life and the benefits of doing so. ONLINE CLASSES CONTINUING IN AUTUMN 2024 We warmly invite you to a series of online classes on various scriptures of Advaita Vedanta, which are being offered freely [as per the scriptures] by Advaita Vedanta Ashram Europe. The classes are taught by the Teacher at the Ashram, Sacchidananda Acharya, based on the Teachings of his Guru, the world-renowned Advaita Vedanta Acharya [Teacher], Swami Paramarthananda. Sacchidananda Acharya has personally received the approval and blessings of Swami Ji to offer these classes based on his Teachings, and students can download for free the transcripts of Swami Ji’s Teachings that we will be covering.

In each class, Sacchidananda Acharya will answer any questions that students have about the text in order to reveal the deeper meaning. Through Q & A, students will have a great opportunity to clarify their understanding and to remove any doubts they may have. Depending on the flow of questions, Q & A will be followed by a guided meditation allowing us to gain deep experience of the essential meaning of the truths we have discovered. In a sense, Swami Ji’s text or recorded Teachings of Vivekacudamani, will function as Sravanam, [listening to the Teachings] and Sacchidananda Acharya’s classes will be function as Mananam [removing doubts, answering questions and clarifying the Teaching] and Nidhi Dhyasanam [Vedantic Meditation]. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly study Swami Ji’s instructions and to prepare questions before Sacchidananda Acharya’s classes. Thus, between Swami Ji's and Sacchidananda Acharya's Teachings students will engage in Sravanam, Mananam and Nidhi Dhyasanam, the essential process as described and advised by the Scriptures. Classes will be via Google Meet. We will study Vivekacudamani on Mondays, starting at 7 pm Greek time. Classes run for one hour. There will be regular term breaks.

VIDEO QUOTES FROM SACCHIDANANDA ACHARYA #6 The Role of Bhakti in Advaita Vedanta “So, Bhakti, is the atmosphere, it is the devotion, the atmosphere which is conducive to walk the path of Self-realization, of Moksha. Without Bhakti, without devotion to the Guru, the Guru Parampara, the Scriptures, you cannot attain Self-realization, or Moksha. It will be only an academic pursuit. “So, Bhakti, is the atmosphere, it is the devotion, the atmosphere which is conducive to walk the path of Self-realization, of Moksha. Without Bhakti, without devotion to the Guru, the Guru Parampara, the Scriptures, you cannot attain Self-realization, or Moksha. It will be only an academic pursuit. You can be a wonderful scholar. You can be a professor of The Upanishads of Advaita Vedanta, but you will never be able to attain Self-realization. So, Bhakti is a prerequisite, but Bhakti, alone, on the other hand, can never be enough by itself. So, as Krsna is offering to us in the Bhagavad Gita..." FOR THE FULL QUOTE SEE VIDEO.

VIDEO QUOTES FROM SACCHIDANANDA ACHARYA #5 There is only Consciousness “So, most of the people they believe that Consciousness is a property of the body-mind complex, or the brain - which is a terrible mistake, a disaster - when in reality, it is exactly the opposite. There is only Consciousness-Awareness-Brahman, and what appears and disappears, is only an appearance - nothing more than that. Just like in the dream in the night. There is only Consciousness-Awareness, and whatever appears as a dream, is only an appearance. In the dream, it may appear a whole universe; and beings; and objects; and situations; and events; and relationships; and transactions. But what is really there? There is only Consciousness. There is only the dream. The reality behind all this is only Consciousness - there is no other reality than that. (Consciousness modulates as the dream and everything that appears in the dream, and as everything that appears in the so-called waking state as well).” Please note: Regarding the above quote, all these are only concepts and serve as a stepping-stone teaching for junior seekers. To graduate to senior seeker and finally to Moksha, a living Guru is indispensable, as per the Holy Scriptures.

#4 Consciousness can only be singular “Distinction of any kind, it is a wrong understanding, even through logic. If you consider the waves in the ocean are different from the ocean, or the water itself – then by itself, it is a wrong understanding. If you consider that you and God are two distinct things, for example, that is a complete misunderstanding of the truth. Or, that the gold is different from the ring – two distinct things. The ring is gold. All apparent beings are God – cannot be distinct from God. But in the churches they present God as something external; something which is superior; something which is of another essence, or nature. So, we Advaitins, we believe that this is a terrible mistake. We say, how can you be different and distinct from the ultimate source of everything? How can you be a distinct thing? And we say that there is only Brahman; there is only God; there is only the ultimate essence of everything and everyone. And we say even what quantum physicists say, that Consciousness can be only singular - cannot be plural. So, there is only Consciousness; Awareness; Brahman and everything appears and disappears in it. And the essence of everything that appears and disappears, cannot be other than the essence itself, which is Consciousness; Awareness; Brahman.” Please note: Regarding the above quote, all these are only concepts and serve as a stepping-stone teaching for junior seekers.

#3 It is only an illusory appearance due to the Substratum; Consciousness “So, everything has this apparent reality – appears as real – because the nature or the Substratum is real - which is Consciousness. So, the wave appears real in the ocean because the water is real. There is no such thing as a wave. The nature of the wave in the ocean, is not ‘wave-ness’ in inverted commas. It is water. But we are superimposing in the wave. Instead of saying that, ‘This is water,’ we say, ‘This is a wave.’ We are superimposing this name, form or label. And the same is with whatever you see, all over the apparent universe, with the apparent beings and the apparent objects and the apparent events. It is only an illusory appearance due to the Substratum; Consciousness. Just like there is a Substratum; Consciousness in the dream, and everything appears real, the same with the big dream.” If you are interested in attending our free online classes, or having a free private Satsanga with Sachidananda Acharya, please send an email to ashramingreece@gmail.com for details.

#2 God is not something distinct from You “God is not something distinct from You, and the same, Brahman, is not something distinct from You. You are God and You are Brahman. Of course, not as the body-mind complex, Emil, but You as Your True Nature. And this True Nature is only singular. There is no multiplicity of any kind, or even duality. There is only Brahman, and You are That. All the rest are only appearances in You, by You and being known by You.” If you are interested in attending our free online classes, or having a free private Satsanga with Sachidananda Acharya, please send an email to ashramingreece@gmail.com for details.

VIDEO QUOTES FROM SACHIDANANDA ACHARYA #1 Why we need to eventually abandon Karma Yoga and Upasanam “This is the recommendation, that sooner or later we need to abandon Karma Yoga and Upasanam. Why? Because it is maintaining…it perpetuates the illusion that there is distinction between God and the devotee. And this perpetuation doesn’t help for Self-knowledge, because in Self-Knowledge we have to arrive in the recognition – in the permanent recognition and conviction – that what we are is God himself, or Brahman itself - and there is not any distinction.” If you are interested in attending online classes with Sachidananda Acharya, please send an email to ashramingreece@gmail.com for details of our classes.

FUNDRAISER FOR A FENCE FOR OUR UPCOMING ASHRAM IN GREECE NAMASTE! My name is Andrew David Boyle and I am the Director of Advaita Vedanta Ashram Europe, an NPO dedicated to establishing an authentic and traditional Ashram in Greek nature. The Ashram will be a place of refuge and inspiration, where the Teachings of the ancient wisdom of Advaita Vedanta will be offered freely to all. I recently took out a bank loan to purchase an ideal piece of land in the beautiful region of Ancient Feneos, in Corinthos, Greece and now we are looking for donations to start our Noble Vision in earnest. We need help with donations as we never charge for the Teachings and we are not rich. Our first step towards establishing our Ashram in Greece is to build a fence around our property [see photo] in the mountains. This is an essential first step, so that when we build a Meditation Hall, accommodation and so forth, it will be fully protected. To build a fence around our 6,000 square metre property it will cost 5,500 euros – can you help us reach this goal? Even the smallest donation will help and be greatly appreciated. We have already received a great amount of spiritual support from the Holy Lineage but now we need financial help: SPIRITUAL SUPPORT FOR OUR ASHRAM: Our Ashram which is dedicated to Loca Sangraham and the flourishing of Sanatana Dharma has the following support: • Dr. Gowrishankar who was the CEO of Sringeri Math, gave us a letter confirming that the Ashram project has the Blessings of the Jagadgurus of Sringeri and that Sringeri Math will offer help with the establishment and flourishing of Advaita Vedanta Ashram Europe. • Our Teacher, Sachidananda Acharya, was given Deeksha [initiation] by His Holiness, Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Swamiji, the 37th Guru of Sringeri, into a sacred Shiva mantra, outside the Vidyashankara Temple at Sringeri Math in 2021, and permission to pass this Deeksha on to his qualified shishyas [students]. • In 2023, His Holiness, Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Swamiji, gave us two blessed statues – one of Adi Shankaracharya and one of Sharadampa – to put in our Meditation Hall, when it is built. • Sachidananda Acharya was given permission by his Guru, Swami Paramarthananda, the highly respected Advaita Vedanta Teacher Swami Paramarthananda, to be able to use his transcripts as the basis for Sachidananda Acharya’s Teachings. This is a very rare honour from such a highly regarded Teacher and means our Ashram will offer pure, authentic Teachings directly from the Holy Lineage. • Swami Satshatkrtananda the head Acharya at Swami Dayanada’s Ashram in Rishikesh gave Deeksha to the Director of Advaita Vedanta Ashram Europe, and offered his blessings towards our Noble Vision. • Dr. Gowrishankar is now legally registered as one of the Directors of AVAE. Even though he is no longer the CEO of Sringeri Math, he has told us that he will continue to mentor us. READ ABOUT OUR NOBLE VISION IN MORE DETAIL: Our Yoga and Meditation Centre, deep inside the beautiful Greek countryside will be a place of refuge and inspiration for generations to come; an oasis of peace outside of the city, where people can live in harmony with nature and each other. The Ashram is ideally located in an isolated area 800 metres above sea level, surrounded by a circle of mountains and close to many forests, in the ancient region of Feneos, in Corinthos. We are just five kilometres away from the well-known, paradisiacal Lake Doxa and it will only be around two hours’ drive from Athens airport. At the Ashram, we will focus on the very peak of Indian spirituality – the tradition of Advaita Vedanta revitalised by Sri Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century, a tradition that has seen an unbroken lineage of realised sages from that time until the present day. Visitors to the Ashram will also have the opportunity to engage in Meditation classes, Meditation retreats and Traditional Yoga classes. The goal of our Ashram is to create a residential, self-sustaining, Eco-community, a sacred village, open to everyone, that is for the upliftment of humanity and where profound spiritual teachings are offered on an optional donation basis. Donations are welcome but are in no way a pre-requisite to receive Teachings. All are welcome, even those who don’t necessarily want to engage in the spiritual programme. It is enough to want to live a peaceful life in nature, to live in accordance with the Ashram’s code of conduct and to help and support the community. To help realise our vision, we have acquired a 6,000m² piece of land in Feneos. Now, we need donations, so we can start our project in earnest. We need to raise money to build a Meditation Hall, permanent and temporary accommodation and so forth. However, our first priority is to build a fence around our property, so that when we build a Meditation Hall, accommodation etc, it will be fully protected. As stated above, to build a fence around the property, we will need 5,500 euros. We have the full support of the Holy Guru Parampara or Holy Lineage, therefore please consider making a donation to this wonderful cause. Any amount, however small, is greatly appreciated. If we succeed in starting an authentic Ashram, it will be the first time in history that a Spiritual Centre from this holy lineage will have been established in Europe. We believe such a spiritual oasis will be of immeasurable benefit to the people of this world.

Sachidananda Acharya has personally received the approval and blessings of Swami Ji to offer these classes based on his Teachings, and students can download for free the transcripts of Swami Ji’s Teachings that we will be covering. We are currently studying the transcript: ‘Vivekacudamani 108 Verses by Swami Paramarthananda’, which you can download here: https://arshaavinash.in/index.php/download/vivekacudamani-108-verses-by-swami-paramarthananda/ You can also listen to the live recordings of Swami Paramarthananda’s Teachings on the Sastraprakasika app. This is highly recommended. In each class, Sachidananda Acharya will answer any questions that students have about the text in order to reveal the deeper meaning. Through Q & A, students will have a great opportunity to clarify their understanding and to remove any doubts they may have. Depending on the flow of questions, Q & A will be followed by a guided meditation allowing us to gain deep experience of the essential meaning of the truths we have discovered. In a sense, Swami Ji’s text or recorded Teachings of Vivekacudamani, will function as Sravanam, [listening to the Teachings] and Sachidananda Acharya’s classes will be function as Mananam [removing doubts, answering questions and clarifying the Teaching] and Nidhi Dhyasanam [Vedantic Meditation]. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly study Swami Ji’s instructions and to prepare questions before Sachidananda Acharya’s classes. Thus between Swami Ji's and Sachidananda Acharya's Teachings students will engage in Sravanam, Mananam and Nidhi Dhyasanam, the essential process as described and advised by the Scriptures. Classes will be via Google Meet. We will study Vivekacudamani on Mondays, starting at 5:30 pm Greek time and run for one hour. The next class will be in April. Students can join the class at any time. There will be regular term breaks. Please contact ashramingreece@gmail.com if you are interested in attending the class.

This is one of several Satsangas [spiritual dialogues] between Sachidananda Acharya and his Swedish shishya, [student] Victor. Victor's spiritual journey began subtly and unknowingly from his childhood. Despite he had a normal upbringing and seemingly good secular life, he always experienced a sense of unfulfillment and a continuous low-key sadness throughout his childhood and early adult life. One day, there came a point where the sense of unfulfillment and sadness became overwhelming, and in a moment of despair, a question arose: "There must be more to life than this!" Fueled by that spontaneous question, he searched for an answer and found the spiritual traditions of the East and the non-dual traditions of the West. Now, as a dedicated follower of Advaita Vedanta, he follows the teachings and pursues the traditional path of Sravanam, Mananam, and Nidhi Dhyasanam under the guidance of Sachidananda Acharya. In Advaita Vedanta, this stage [one-to-one Satsanga] is called Mananam, whereby after receiving Teachings from a qualified Guru, [Sravanam] the student asks the Guru questions to clarify his understanding and to overcome any doubts he might have, in order that he may proceed to the final stage of Nidhi Dhyasanam [Vedantic Meditation]. In the tradition of Adi Shankaracharya it is said that the means to profoundly understand your True Nature or Self as Brahman, Awareness, Consciousness is revealed through the Teachings of Advaita Vedanta, the Guru Parampara and the Guru. Through this methodology, you will be able to recognize and be convinced permanently of That which Is You. In Sanskrit, the syllable gu means darkness and the syllable ru means remover, thus the term Guru literally means the one who removes darkness. Superficial intellectual understanding like gathering information, has no power to remove the darkness of ignorance on its own. In fact, if you have just a superficial intellectual understanding alone, this may even increase your pride. It is only by relying on a qualified Guru who is part of a holy tradition and whose methods have been proven to work again and again, that you can profoundly understand your True Nature or Self as Brahman, Awareness, Consciousness. In our tradition, the methodology employed by the Guru is Sravanam, Mananam and Nidhi Dhyasanam. Sravanam means to listen to the teachings; Mananam to contemplate deeply the meaning of the teachings and to remove any doubts through dialogue with the Guru and Nidhi Dhyasanam means to meditate deeply on the meaning of the instructions, such as the Mahavakyams [Great Statements of Truth], having first removed all doubts. Through the grace of the Guru, the blessings of the holy lineage and Sravanam, Mananam and Nidhi Dhyasanam, we give ourselves the greatest opportunity to profoundly understand – on a permanent basis - our True Self as Awareness, Consciousness, Brahman. FREE PRIVATE SATSANGA If you would like to request a free private Satsanga with Sachidananda Acharya, please send an email to: ashramingreece@gmail.com In accordance with tradition, all classes and private Satsanga are offered by Sachidananda Acharya freely, with donations entirely optional.
