Swami Niranjan

In 1988 Swami Satyananda passed on the world-wide coordination of Satyananda Yoga to his successor Swami Niranjanananda, a modern master of yoga whose understanding spans both the scientific Western culture and the mystical wisdom of the East. Known as a yogi from birth, he began his training in India at the age of four. From the age of eleven he toured extensively in Europe, America and Australia. This experience gave him a deep understanding of the Western mind and society. Swami Niranjanananda has the wisdom of a seer and an ability to convey yoga’s timeless truths in an accessible and meaningful way. He exemplifies the harmony and fortitude of a yogi and inspires all who encounter him.

Swami Satyananda

Swami Satyananda is considered to be one of the major forces in bringing yoga to Australia and indeed the West. He traveled the world tirelessly for over twenty years sharing the inspiration of yoga. During this time he wrote over 80 boks on Yoga, Tantra and Spirituality. Swami Satyananda retired from public life in 1988 to work for mankind’s upliftment in a more universal way. He now lives in a small village in Jarkhand in India, where he is working to support the local community and improve their quality of life.

Shantimayi

Her talks are forums of inspiration where she and the assembly have an opportunity to address the concerns questions and discoveries that people bring to this precious time. Central to every meeting is a spiritually stimulating exchange among sincere people.
ShantiMayi eclectically draws upon the quintessence of many traditions: Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, and the Aboriginal Tribes of the Americas and Australia. Though this is so, she speaks from her own direct spirituality and points us back to ourselves. She says she is not religious and is not against religion as such. Whatever awakens us to 'Truth' is in fact 'the way'. It is our own spiritual discovery, from within us and in our lives that brings us to the light of our heart-wisdom. ShantiMayi inspires us to enliven the wonderful potential within us all.

Due to humanity’s ignore-ance of our inherent oneness with all of existence, feelings of separation and divisiveness predominate throughout the world. Greed, power and the quest for external, superficial satisfaction marks the break-down of diverse cultures everywhere.

Our world teeters on the brink of destruction, resulting through wars, hunger, abuse of power, the elimination of the earth’s vital natural resources, ecological imbalance and so on. ShantiMayi directs us to turn our attention inward; to return again and again to the wisdom residing within our heart. ‘There’ differences are seen as transparent, and problematic situations find genuine resolution in integrity and limitless love. She continually guides listeners to 'live spirituality' in our daily lives with an open heart and open mind. Each moment experienced is (actually) fresh and new, and is (actually) free from our mental
projections and self-made difficulties. It becomes possible to realize the deepest peace and stillness from within our selves. This peace and stillness is revelation. It is the very same peace and stillness that permeates all of life throughout the universe.
