Sacred Heart’s Inner Chamber:
A Path of Mantra & Knowledge
--- presented as a 4 hour or 1 day workshop ---
--- also available remotely as Personalized Tutorial
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.

“Of the hundreds of chakras in the physical body, there is one that is of paramount spiritual importance, yet little spoken or written about. It is the Hrit Padma…” Namadeva Acharya (Thomas Ashley-Farrand)
