Himalayan Sage
Swami Hariharananda (Swami Hari)
Visits Jacksonville

   

The Himalayan sage Swami Hariharananda ('Swami Hari') will visit  Jacksonville FL  in October 2005.  He is a direct disciple of the legendary Swami Rama of the Himalayas, said to be one of the greatest yogi of the 20th century.

Swami Hariharananda was born and raised in the foothills of the Himalayas and after becoming a monk he spent 15 years living and meditating in the mountain forests. As a teacher he is known for his ability to guide students into a state of deep meditation. His lectures are filled with practical knowledge, inspiration and humor.

Swami Hari's friendly, cheerful and compassionate personality attracts to him new friends in all the countries he visits. He spent many years at the 600-year old sacred shrine of Tarkeshwar in the Himalayas, where his master Swami Rama attained enlightenment in 1930s.

When not traveling around the world, he spends most of his time in Ramnagar, Swami Rama's ashram in India, located in the ancient city of Rishikesh in the foothills of the Himalayas.

 

Swami Hari will give a series of unique lectures on yoga, and guided meditations.

Swami Hari teaches...

Nature abhors a vacuum; hence, through the practice of meditation, the space left in the mind when the non-beneficial thoughts and feelings are removed is filled by beneficial thoughts and feelings. For the same reason such places dedicated to prayer and meditation (churches and temples, etc.) become 'holy', become a resting place for the mind and spirit.

Make your meditation seat the place that you rest your mind.

For those who had a chance to visit with Swami Hari when he was here in Jacksonville, Fl, I welcome you to continue to do the practices that he taught as they were very powerful lessons. I personally recommended that those who came to his lectures, though they were difficult to understand at this times, one should keep all the information as it will become more obvious to you as your expand and evolve in your personal efforts.

One of Swami Hari's post powerful teaching during this trip here to Jacksonville is that we are all faced with dealing two sources of knowledge and those are revealed knowledge and acquired knowledge. Only when we get rid of acquired knowledge we are left with intuitive knowledge.

On his visit here to Jacksonville Swami Hari presented several techniques in a sort of an accelerated course and for some students the material needs to be broken down and assimilated in "bite size". I have been asked by many to lead them in systematic practice in order grasp his teachings. I am happy to help those and others. please call me at the number below
