Satsang with Randolph is a gathering and meeting in the Truth that you naturally are. It is a direct path to Self-realization in the tradition of Advaita Vedanta, rooted in the lineage of Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj.

 

These gatherings are en-counters in the true sense of the word: You don't need to go anywhere, achieve anything, or avoid anything either. Randolph calls his creative transmission 'the transmission Heart & Space'. He speaks of satsang as the essence of Advaita Vedanta, Dzogchen and Non-duality. Randolph's path of the living Mystery and Absolute Liberation has its origins in the Himalayas and has been passed down for centuries through a succession of liberated teachers.

An Introduction to Satsang

Where have you gotten stuck in this life, what are your life's questions?
What have you chosen to explore here on earth and in this time?

The essential starting point, the solution and the fundamental answer to all your life's questions may be surprising, but the question that goes straight to the core is: 'Who is seeking?' 'Who is longing?' 'Who is interested in...?'
The first thing that comes to mind is of course 'I'... And following that 'I' comes the question: 'Who or what is 'I' then?' Satya satsang begins with directly facing the question 'Who am I?'...
Perhaps you think something like 'I've already heard this' or 'I already know this'... but knowing something and a genuine realization are not the same. When you are properly guided in this, directly gazing into and seeing through 'Who am I?' is the entrance and passageway to Self-realization.
As far as Satya Satsang is concerned, this is not yet the end either: the realization of 'I am', of awareness, of Beingness and finding the Heart fully within it, will ultimately flow in abundance into Non-being, or the Absolute.
This can happen with a shock and very exceptionally it sometimes occurs with someone, but usually — and this was also the case for me — it is first necessary to enter the 'bridge', or apparent bridge of Beingness. For many people this is already what they were seeking and is the liberation from the greater part of their life's problems.

 

ENCOUNTERS

 
WHAT SATSANG IS | EN-COUNTER

People often ask me what Satsang is...

Covered, veiled and hidden behind the theatre of your existence, a great and living Mystery awaits to be discovered. This living Mystery can be 'unwrapped' through satsang as a gift and surprise.

In satsang you learn and are encouraged to follow your passion and your ardour. Your ardour is literally and figuratively the journey through your Heart. At the beginning of your development you are usually still so impressed and consumed by the force field of your life's circumstances, that you have not yet — or barely — answered this grand and mysterious calling. Satsang helps you with this.

The word 'satsang' literally means: meeting or gathering in the Truth that you naturally are. En-counter in the true sense of the word: no-longer-having-to. In satsang you learn to no longer comply with the compelling demands of the collective consciousness, and the realization of the Self is initiated. Under the guidance of someone who has gone before you in this and has actually completed the entire journey of realization, you are more easily able to answer the call of your True Nature. Such a catalyst who eases your path is called, in the form of a fellow human being, a teacher. A spiritual artist of experience who points and indicates through ever new angles of approach. You are not alone in this… You do not need to reinvent the wheel again and again, life after life, on your own.

THE TEACHER | THE TRADITION

Self-inquiry

A teacher in the tradition of Advaita Vedanta will invite you in satsang to inquire into who you truly are. Through self-inquiry he allows you to gaze directly into and through 'Who am I?' Via this inner satsang journey of self-inquiry and self-discovery, you are able to penetrate ever more deeply into the living Mystery and ultimately to merge into it.

In the realization of your True Nature I distinguish different phases that can be indicated as unity (awakening), Enlightenment and the ultimate Self-realization (Liberation). When a passionate journey of discovery eventually leads to someone being fully absorbed into the living Mystery, this is called Liberation.

I come from a tradition that in its origins was called 'Adhi-yoga'. Adhi-yoga is 'the yoga of Light', the yoga knowledge of that which wells up directly from the Light. 'Adhi' means 'first', 'original'... At a certain point Adhi-yoga branched into two currents: Advaita Vedanta in India and Dzogchen in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. My most important teachers were Selvarajan Yesudian (student of Ramana Maharshi) and Alexander Smit (student of Nisargadatta Maharaj). In satsang we celebrate this living knowledge and the age-old — and in every moment ever-renewing — inheritance of pure Freedom is transmitted...

The Great Search

PASSION | COMPASSION

Live your Passion

“Life is a magic quest, you meet and walk upon the landscape of what you radiate. Through satsang you discover your passion, the journey through your heart. The spiritual heart first awakens your passion and compassion. I call this traditional transmission ‘the transmission of Heart & Space’ ...”
