Satsang consists of silent sitting, a short talk, dialogue with participants, and kirtan (chanting).
"Wake up to the living truth of who we really are! To take oneself to be this or that is
merely pretense. The realization of who we are is very simple - the truth is
obvious in this very moment, right here, right now. Stop pretending to be anybody at all, right now,
and without any effort or volition, be pure Openness itself. Dive into the uncharted waters of radiant Presence,
into the original nature that has never been asleep.
No one can give you what you already are - and no one can take you away from you.
What you are longing for, you always have been and you actually are, right now. It is so simple! In this meeting,
the inquiry into what Is unravels oneself suddenly into the wondrous Heart of Being."
- Krishna
Krishna directly points to and lives as the luminous Awareness that is everybody's essential nature, igniting the Fire of Liberation in those encountered.
When he was very young, he had a glimpse of the possibility of true life, of total freedom, and it drove him on an intense quest
where he gave everything to being and living fully what he had glimpsed. This included participating in many Buddhist meditation
retreats, and being in the company of radical teachers such as Krishnamurti, Jean Klein, and various disciples of Ramana Maharshi,
most notably Papaji (H.W.L. Poonja). In a moment of truth, the mirage of the 'me' evaporated, and what had previously been
merely tasted became actualized. This freedom he discovered, he saw was the true condition for everyone.
Asked to teach by Papaji, Krishna found this liberation to be contagious, right here and right now, inherent in us all.
