​Sacred Heart’s Inner Chamber:                                                  
            A Path of Mantra & Knowledge 

  April 25, 2020  1:30  - 5:30pm
  at Ananda Ashram in Monroe NY 

Scriptures and mystics speak of the Sacred Heart.  The Vedas teach that the Sacred Heart is the Hrit Padma, the ‘city of Brahman’ within a ‘hidden chamber of the heart’.  Jesus taught of the kingdom of heaven within.  Ramana Maharshi spoke about the ‘Dahara Akasha’.  Saint Teresa of Avila wrote of the ‘Interior Castle’.  Buddhist scholar D.T. Suzuki wrote of a space deep within our hearts containing the world and the stars. Islam teaches of the hidden Imam within the heart.  The Upanishads teach that this space within the heart ‘is to be sought after, and what is there one should desire to understand’.

This workshop presents a travel-guide for the inner journey to the Sacred Heart. Roadmaps to the Sacred Heart are found in the Vedic & Upanishad scriptures. Many Sanskrit mantras and some yogic techniques provide the means. The experiences of sages and mystics point the way.

Participants will learn:
·  The nature of the Hrit Padma, the esoteric eight-petaled chakra
    near the Anahata (Heart) Center and the five sheaths of
    existence which surround the contents of the Hrit Padma

·  About the Atman, and the Ishta-Devata forms of God, taught by
   the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads. 

·  The benefits of attunement to, and eventual realization of, the
    Hrit Padma.

·  Dozens of Sanskrit mantras to attune to the Hrit Padma including
   rarely taught mantras from the Maha Nirvana Tantra 

·  Basic mantra practices and advanced mantra disciplines.

·  Teachings that the bija mantra of the Hrit Padma represents
   “the point all the Vedas are trying to make clear"  & “the end
    of all learning and the beginning of true knowledge" 
 
·  Hrit Padma teachings from several religions, mystics and
   some contemporary teachers.

Participants receive a 15 page detailed handout and audio recording of all workshop mantras.
