| About the symposium |
| |
Greatly happy we are annoucing that our beloved Swamiji, Paramahamsa Niranjanananda Saraswati, will visit Slovenia May 2008. To this most auspicious event you are all very welcome.
Swamiji will start the Satyananda Yoga Symposium 2008 in Slovenia. After Slovenia the symposium with Swamiji will continue in Croatia, Hungary, Greece and Bulgaria.
In Slovenia we will have two beautiful days with Swamiji and "Tatra yoga: Evolution in life".
Tantra means to expand one's experience and awareness of everything, to extend the frontiers of apprehension beyond the material, and hence to attain spiritual knowledge and liberation.
Tantra is the universal system that carries on the tradition that has been practiced throughout the world since time immemorial. It is an expression of the deeper realizations of man. It comes naturally to the psyche of man in general. The essence of tantra is ingrained in the psyche of every man.
Tantra is the science of perception of the infinite in and through the finite. It leads one to the experience of the infinite through the limited world of form. Tantra is a means to know our divine nature and then the divine nature of everything. It is a method of utilizing the material to tune in with the immaterial, of using the manifest to know the unmanifest.
Tantra aims at expanding the experience of everyday life, of enjoying and living life to the full, as a means to higher awareness. It encompasses all aspects of life, whether in the material world or that which is transcendent.
Tantra is a system that grew naturally with man, as he evolved. It is a way of life which developed spontaneously as man evolved. It is for this reason that tantra is both tolerant and practical. It developed naturally in response to man's needs.
Tantra arose, not in order to renounce or to escape the world, but in order to experience the things of the world more fully, and at the same time to use the ways of the world to attain higher states of awareness. It is a spiritual system, a psychological system, a psychic system, a science of life. Tantra is a practical system that produces results and personal experience.
Tantra is not a stagnant system; it is a system that adapts itself to the needs of the times. It is a tantric belief that old texts on tantra will fade away and new ones will always be written to replace them. The essence of the texts will be the same, but the expression and relationship to prevalent social conditions will be different. Tantra has changed and been developed throughout the ages. It is still growing and adapting itself in the present era and will continue to mold itself to man's needs in the future.
Modern man is looking for something, but does not know what it is, where to go and what to do. Tantra yoga is the answer that we are looking for.
Without joy and experience of higher awareness life is dull, frustrating and often purposeless. Even one small glimpse of a transcendental experience will inject new aspiration, new joy into even the most unemotional person. Tantra promises just this. Cosmic awareness can come through participation in the world; it is not necessary to reject life and become an ascetic. This is the way of tantra. It is therefore most suitable for modern man. Tantra says that life should be an expression of joy. Tantra takes us by the hand and slowly leads us towards higher awareness.
Tantra says: why suffer guilt about actions and thoughts; every act should be a form of worship, for everything is Shakti ..... which is Shiva.
Come and join us, take a participation in »Tantra yoga: evolution in life« in presence of the great tantric master and our guru Paramahamsa Niranjanananda Saraswati.
Take a chance to make a step forward and higher, for evolution in life. |

Our beloved Swamiji is a very multidimensional and powerful personality, we have ever come across. He is a paramacharya of Bihar School of Yoga, which was founded by his guru Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati was born in India in 1960 and joined the Bihar School of Yoga in 1964 and initiated into the Dashnami Sannyasa tradition in 1970 by his Guru, Swami Satyananda Saraswati. He traveled overseas in 1971, establishing ashrams and yoga centers in Europe, Australia, North and South America.
Initiated as a Paramahamsa sannyasin at the age of thirty, he was appointed preceptor in succession to Swami Satyananda Saraswati by the leading luminaries of the Sannyasa tradition in 1993.

Research Foundation since 1983. He founded Sri Panchdashnam Paramahamsa Alakh Bara in 1991 to further the work of his Guru, Swami Satyananda Saraswati. In 1994 he founded the Bihar Yoga Bharati, an Institute for advanced studies in yogic sciences, and the Bala Mitra Mandal movement in 1995 to introduce children to yoga. Swamiji speaks seven foreign languages fluently including Sanskrit. He is the author of many classic books on yoga, tantra and Upanishads.

The symposium will be held in Bioenergy Resort Salinera in the green Bay of Strunjan between Izola and Piran, Slovenia. The hotel Salinera was built on the ground of the ancient Benedictian monastery. This ground is a specific energy point.
Salinera was made for those who wish to escape from every-day worries and the pressures of town life. You will be able to enjoy the seaside climate, unspoilt nature, the sea, the unique features of the bay, sunshine and other attractions at the Salinera Tourist Complex.
Short video presentation of Salinera (4 Mb, 1,5 min.)
Bay itself was protected as a natural reserve because of its geological and geomorphological characteristics, great biotic diversity, and the fact that it encompasses the longest unbroken natural section of coast on the entire Bay of Trieste.
Its most remarkable part is the 80-meter overhanging wall of the cliff composed of soft flysch layers that the sea, wind, and rain constantly shape and change.
