Online Meditation Teacher Training
Level II
Live from the Himalayas in India with Sampriya
through video-conferencing
You are in truth the Pure Space, which is called Me, the Self. This knowledge will take you beyond the innumerable waves of thinking, and you will attain the knowledge of your true Self, the Pure Being - birthless, deathless.
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 46
Embracing the Vision of Oneness…
Level II Online Meditation Teacher Training
Level I of our Online Meditation Teacher Training was to understand that “we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but Spiritual Beings having a human experience.”
Our Level II Online Meditation Teacher Training is about integrating this knowledge more deeply in everyday life: how to live and act as the Spiritual Being that we are.
Throughout the year, the Bhagavad Gita, considered the essence of all great spiritual literature, will be our guide for learning to put the knowledge of the Self into action. Swami Shyam describes the Gita as "a gift for the one who would like to receive the technique of how to deal with situations and issues in the world that are urgent and important, and that must be dealt with by everyone..." With the protagonists of the Gita - Krishna and Arjun - as our inspiration, we will explore how to live, teach, speak, listen and conduct business as the Self.

Group classes
Starting in October 2024, we meet one Sunday per month, over a year, from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm EST, in a small group of max. 10 participants for our Online Meditation Teacher Training.
Level II of Essence of the Himalayas’ Online Meditation Teacher Training fluidly weaves between these two interdependent elements of study:
-
The in-depth exploration of selected verses from the Bhagavad Gita that will give you a chance to uncover their depth through discussion of their meaning, through comparing different interpretations of this ancient scripture; and through the practice of chanting the verses in Sanskrit.
-
The interactive and experiential exploration of three topics: the Root of Teaching, the Art of Teaching and the Business of Teaching. These will help you to step from the human vision with its story of limitations and old patterns (represented by Arjun), into the vision of Oneness and Freedom (represented by Krishna.
