Week 2 Highlights:
03/11, 07:30 PM EST: Philosophy of Mantra Meditation - Swami Ma Tripurashakti Bharati
In many Traditions the sincere student is linked to a sacred vibration that will gradually blossom into the student's best friend, guide, and bridge. The vibration of mantra can lead the student from the current identification into the depth of Being, Silence and Love, where all is One.
How and why this is such a powerful connection will be explored in our session by diving into the philosophy behind mantra science. The sacred journey of mantra is a path gifted to us by the sages… Ooh, let the heart long for that embrace of full surrender into mantra.

Swami Ma Tripurashakti Bharati: Born in the Netherlands, she, like many others all over the globe, had a whispering longing in her heart that guided her from early age to search for an indescribable something. When she entered Swami Rama's Ashram, Sadhana Mandir, for the first time, the whisper told her that she finally found the place that could answer her longing. Within a week the decision was made to leave her previous life behind and fully dedicate it to sadhana only. Lovingly trained, guided and initiated in 2012 into sannyasa by Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati, she currently lives at Swami Rama's ashram Sadhana Mandir to deepen her practice and facilitate monthly retreats.
