CIRD (NA) ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS
  • CIRD (NA) Satsang (meetings)
    The literal meaning of Satsang is ‘company of the Truth’. We conduct Satsangs (group meetings) every 3-4 months, mostly during long weekends. The main purpose is to facilitate spiritual growth (Sadhana as it is called) as individuals and as a group through the meeting of likeminded inquirers focused on reflection, introspection, and meditation on the Truth as expressed in ancient Indian scriptures (Vedanta) and Swamiji's teachings. The Satsang sessions usually include chanting hymns from ancient Vedantic scriptures, reading and discussing spiritual subjects, and meditation.
  • CIRD (NA) Newsletter
    CIRD (NA) publishes a bi-monthly newsletter called ‘Atma-Shakti: Harnessing the Infinite’. The newsletter has 3 main sections. In the ‘Question & Answer’ section, we present answers by Swamiji to readers queries on a wide range of topics such as Meditation, the Mind versus Intelligence, and Spirituality versus Religion. The Article section provides selected articles or text of speeches by Swamiji which help readers gain a deeper knowledge of spiritual concepts and progress further in their personal quest for knowledge and clarity. The Audio section provides illuminating clips of talks by Swamiji on a wide range of topics of interest to our readers.
