“A searcher hankers for the Real.  Even though the spiritual journey of each person is unique, still a searcher is greatly helped by the wisdom of luminous teachers and the company and encouragement of fellow searchers.”

-Ravi Ravindra

Course Details

We all would have probably wondered the following questions at some time in our life:

Is this Material World with all its technological advancements, emotional attractions, with promises and uncertainties about the future, a nurturing place for a spiritual seeker? Or are only mountains, solitude and quiet a necessity for a serious pursuit?


Is it a place of continuous struggle for life, health, career, relationships, family, financial security and ageing related issues? Do these consume our total time and attention, leaving us no time for something subtler?


Is it at all possible that this material world, with all its frailties, seemingly run by the dualities of reward and punishment, win and loss, comfort and suffering, can actually be a mutually nurturing environment for our spiritual  journey?
