Satsang: A Seeker’s Guide to Self-Realization

"To know the Self is the birth right of every individual. If you do not know who you are even after knowing everything, then what do you really know? The ultimate peace you are looking for lies within you. You are the very truth that you wish to discover. Stop wandering, rest in yourself, keep quiet, and listen to the sacred Silence behind all thoughts, words, experiences, states, sounds, and actions. Recognize the eternal Bliss that you are, in which everything happens spontaneously and without effort."

For over a decade, people from different countries around the world have been meeting with Swami Shashwat Ji and seeking his wisdom on life and spirituality. These enlightening Satsangs were meticulously recorded and transcribed, then carefully edited and compiled into a book to allow readers to enjoy Swamiji's unadulterated words on various subjects.

After reading Swamiji's teachings, one can easily know one's true Self because he not only answers all questions in a frank and direct manner, but under his loving guidance, the seeker's questions simply fall away. In the end, only Silence and Bliss remain and reveal themselves as our true nature, which does not go anywhere and does not come from anywhere, for it has always been there. Swamiji awakens us to this essential Truth and invites us to embark on the journey to Self-discovery and inner peace.

About the Author

Swamiji was born in 1985 in a small village in Madhya Pradesh in central India, on the banks of the river Narmada. As a child, he was curious by nature, eager to know about the lives and sadhana or spiritual practices of saints like Dhruv and Prahlad, about snature, about life and death. At the tender age of five, he began chanting Lord Rama’s name for several hours daily. At the time, he did no other practice and knew nothing else except that he wanted to unite with the Lord. His thirst for the Truth led him to leave his home at the age of fourteen, and he started visiting different places of pilgrimage and meeting different saints along the way. Occasionally, he would stay with his guru, Baba Shri Gajanand Ji Maharaj, and serve him with love and devotion.
