The Nature of God

Realizing the Divine Within and Without

Swami Brahmananda

What is God, and how can we come to know the Divine through direct experience? Drawing from Swami Sivananda’s timeless teachings, this inspiring program explores the nature of God as both immanent and transcendent—present in every being, yet beyond all names, forms, and concepts. Discover how the world’s great spiritual traditions point toward the same infinite Reality and how the paths of devotion, meditation, selfless service, and self-inquiry lead us to an ever-deepening awareness of the Divine. Through contemplation, reflection, and practical yogic wisdom, participants will gain a greater understanding of God’s presence in everyday life and learn how to cultivate a living relationship with the Divine that brings peace, purpose, and enduring joy.

Offered as 4 satsangs (subject to change).

The presentations associated with this Yoga Vacation Program begin with a 6am satsang on the first day of the program and conclude with a 6am satsang on the last day of the program.  Click here to read more about the Yoga Vacation Program details and view the ashram schedule for yoga classes and meals during your stay.
