Giten Birthday Celebration
Silence is the door to God
Saturday, May 12, 2018
10 AM-18 PM in Stockholm
“Satsang with Giten is heaven.”
– Satyama Padma
“If in Stockholm … go and bless this boy.”
– Devadas, house father at Giten’s first ashram in Sweden when he was 15 years old
This is a loving invitation to Giten’s friends and sangha, who have participated in satsang with Giten before, to celebrate his birthday with darshan, satsang and a whole day on the topic Silence is the door to God. This day will consist of three spiritual keys from The Upanishads, the ancient insight and wisdom of India.
Darshan is a meeting with Giten, where he can talk informally with individuals and small groups of seekers of truth. In darshan, Giten answers questions from seekers and gives initiation to seekers of truth.
Giten´s satsangs on The Upanishads, the ancient insight and wisdom of India, is a ground for sincere seekers of love and truth, who are interested in the mysteries of meditation.
This day will be supported by silent satsang with Giten, which is a direct insight and experience of being. This experience can transform our entire being and consciousness.
During this day we will explore three keys from The Upanishads:
1. God, Brahman, means existence, being, the ocean of consciousness, the divine. Everything belongs to God, to existence. He who understands that everything belongs to existence attains to everything.
2. The difference between love and possessiveness: There is only one basic problem in our lives. That is the anxiety about how to get love from others. All our fears come basically from this single dilemma. We have to experience true love as long as you need to demand it from others. True love will not diminish however much we give of it. In fact, the more we give of true love, the more we receive.
3. The Path of Living: Surrender to Existence: He who understands that Everything belongs to God, to existence, and who let go of his ego, which is separated from life, attains to everything. He who empties himself, who surrenders even his “I”, his ego, becomes the master of infinite riches. Our inner being is the door to God, to existence. When we recognize that everything belongs to existence, you will be thrilled with the bliss within you. All the nectar of life will now be ours.

Heartbeat of the Absolute
Satsang weekend with Giten on The Upanishads, the ancient insight and wisdom of India
1-3 June, 2018, in Stockholm
“Satsang with Giten is totally magical. Thanks for this gift.”
– Deva Emanuel
“Satsang with Giten is like a scent, a flowering of This is it! Satsang with Giten about the Upanishads, the wisdom of India, is so exciting. Giten do a fantastic work with satsang. Satsang with Giten is like satsang in India. I was so afraid to lose the silence that I found in satsang in India, but I found the silence again in satsang with Giten. Earlier I did not think that enlightenment was possible, but now I Think that it is possible.”
– Satyama Padma, participant in satsang with Giten
“If in Stockholm … go and bless this boy.”
– Devadas, house father at Giten’s first ashram in Sweden when he was 15 years old
Giten´s satsangs on The Upanishads, the ancient insight and wisdom of India, is a ground for sincere seekers of love and truth, who are interested in the mysteries of meditation.
During this satsang weekend, Giten will talk about oneness – existence is consciousness and life is one. The whole universe comes out of God, Brahman, who is the soul of the universe and who is endless, limitless and without beginning and end, the core of meditation: the void, the inner being, the inner silence and emptiness, the state of no-thinking, where we are already one with the divine, the two dimensions of man: mind and being, Understanding the inner being, the depth of our consciousness, the inner silence, from where we receive nourishment from existence, Understanding that our inner being is one with God, with existence, understanding witnessing – the essence of meditation, learning to love and accept ourselves: be loving to yourself and do not judge or condemn yourself, Understanding the difference between love and possessiveness: There is only one basic problem in our lives. That is the fear and anxiety to get love from others. All our fears come basically from this single dilemma. We have to experience true love, which will not diminish however much we give of it. In fact, the more we give of our true love, the more we receive, understanding the difference between acting out of ego or being, acting out of ignorance and awareness: acting out of ego means “I am the doer”, acting out of being means egolessness, which means to surrender everything at the feet of existence, The Path of Living: Surrender to Existence: He who understands that everything belongs to God, to existence, and who let go of his ego, which is separated from life, attains to everything. He who empties himself, who surrenders even his “I”, his ego, becomes the master of infinite riches. Our inner being is the door to God, to existence. When we recognize that everything belongs to existence, you will be thrilled with the bliss within you. All the nectar of life will now be ours.
Instead of merely theorizing about spiritual experience, Giten teaches us how to live it in our daily lives.
This satsang weekend is supported by silent satsang with Giten, which is a direct insight and experience of being. This experience can transform our entire being and consciousness.

Giten’s posters posted in the meditation room at Ljusbacken (“The Hill of Light”) in Halsingland in Sweden, which was his first spiritual ashram when he was 15 years old

GITEN: MY FIRST SPIRITUAL ASHRAM IN HALSINGLAND IN THE NORTH OF SWEDEN WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS OLD
Today Devadas, a very beautiful soul and my spiritual brother since many lives, writes the following on Facebook: Giten lived a summer on Ljusbacken, when we hade Osho meditations in the forest. He was young then, maybe 14-15. Now he writes like this …. Giten: God Is Everywhere.
Devadas was house father on Ljusbacken (“The hill of light”) in the beautiful area of Halsingland in the north of Sweden, my first spiritual ashram, when I was 15 years old.
Giten sent Devadas his postures and Devadas sent a mail back saying that they will be posted in the meditation room at Ljusbacken.
Below you will find an excerpt from my book “Presence – Working from Within”,
which is about my early spiritual awakening on Ljusbacken when I was 15 years old.

MEDITATION – MY PATH IN LIFE
An excerpt from Giten’s book”Presence – Working from Within. The Psychology of Being”
When I was 15 years old, I came in contact with my first ashram, my first spiritual commune, in the form of Ljusbacken (“The Hill of Light”) in Delsbo in beautiful Halsingland in the north of Sweden. Ljusbacken consisted of an international gathering of yogis, meditators, therapists, healers and seekers of truth. It was on Ljusbacken that I for the first time came in contact with my path in life: meditation.
It was also on Ljusbacken that I meet people for the first time in my 15 year old life, where I on a deep wordless level felt that I meet people, who were on the same path as me. It was the first time that I meet people, who could put words on and confirm my own inner thirst after something that I could only occasionally sense vaguely, like some sort of inner guiding presence, or like a beacon in the distant far out on the open and misty ocean. For the first time in my life, I meet brothers, sisters and friends on the inner path.
It was also on Ljusbacken that I meet the mystery called love for the first time in my 15 year old life. With my 15 year old eyes, I watched with wide eyed fascination and fear filled excitement the incomprehensible mystery, which is called woman.
My own thirst after truth, together with my inner guiding light, resulted in an early spiritual awakening when I was 15 years old. It led me back to the inner path, which I have already followed for many lives. It led me back to a life lived with vision, with dedication and meaning, and not only a life governed by the endless desires of the ego, a mere vegetating without substance between life and death.
It led me to explore the inner journey again, to discover the inner being, the meditative quality within, and to come in intimate contact with the endless and boundless ocean of consciousness, like the drop surrenders to the sea. At the source, the drop and ocean are one.

– The Eternal Wisdom

“Satsang with Giten is like a scent, a flowering of This is it.”
– Satyama Padma, Stockholm

ABOUT THE UPANISHADS:
The Upanishads, the sacred writings of Vedic wisdom, predate recorded history. It is the first spiritual books written on this Earth. Since they were revealed to the Rishis, the enlightened masters, of the Vedic civilization some 5,000 to 10,000 years ago, many have come to regard them as perhaps the greatest of all the books in the history of world religions: the work that contains the kernel of the mystical and philosophical truths that form the basis of all religious thinking today.
The Upanishads are the most beautiful books ever written. The Upanishads inclludes both the path of meditation and the path of meditation which are the two paths to samadhi and enlightenment. Giten will discuss The Upanishads in such a way that the reader can feel a sense of oneness beyond the apparent contradictions.
This satsang weekend with Giten is an introduction to the essentials of Vedic wisdom for blissful living and the eternal wisdom of the Vedic enlightened rishis. Giten will endeavor to explain not just the grand design of the universe, but also how the the teachings of the Upanishads can be used to lead a blissful life amid the present day chaos, stress and confusion.
The basis of this satsang weekend with Giten is a direct encounter with spirituality. There are no doctrines in it. Instead this satsang series is full of practical wisdom for those ready to embark on what has been called the journey to the source, to the source of their own being.
In this satsang weekend Giten takes the Upanishads and responds to it in a way that helps present-day seekers penetrate their unconscious and find the truth within themselves. This uncovering of the self is the ultimate alchemy.
In this satsang weekend Giten describes, step by step, the search within, the search for the essence, for what is divine within man. This essence is variously known as the self, the atman, the soul, in the ancient teachings of earlier Masters.
Giten says that he warn you in advance that to involve oneself in the teachings of the Upanishads is like playing with fire. An Upanishad cannot be understood without you also becoming transformed.
In understanding the Upaniahds, doors will open to the most profound understanding known to the genius of man. The Upanishads is the secret of secrets, the mystery within all mysteries, the essence of essences.
Contained in this satsang weekend many alchemical secrets—secrets of “the ultimate alchemy,” the alchemy of purifying man’s gross nature into the pure gold of cosmic consciousness. Many meditation techniques are shown along the way, many efforts to make us aware of our unconscious condition, the source of all our dis-ease.
Giten will also talk about Vedanta, which is the world’s oldest meditation path. Vedanta is the philosophy of self-realization and samadhi. Vedanta is a philosophy of Self-realization and samadhi, and its practice is Self-realization through yoga, awareness and meditation. Vedanta revolves around one premise: re-establish the silence at the core of our being. In Vedanta, silence is understood as our own human consciousness – which resides in our hearts and pervades everything in the universe. Vedanta sees pure unity or oneness as the supreme principle in existence. Vedanta meditation aims at returning to this original state of unity and oneness with life, in which all beings abide in the Self within the heart. It takes us direct to the divine presence in the heart.
Vedanta says that the individual soul is one with God. Vedanta says that our true Self, Atman, the inner being, the soul, is our divine nature. The same consciousness that resides at the core of our being pervades the entire universe. It pervade in the flowers, the animals, the stones, the mountains and the stars. To know ourselves is to know God and to become one with God.
Vedanta is generally private, emphasizing individual practice more than group practice. However meditation sessions do occur as part of the satsangs or gatherings that are common in the tradition.
Giten unveils the secrets of Vedanta meditation from which all other meditation systems have emerged. Vedanta is the famous “direct path to enlightenment” of Vedic science, the world’s oldest science of consciousness. Vedic science offers the wisdom of the ancient enlightened masters of India. Vedanta, the path of self-realization, is the spiritual support and goal of the related Vedic disciplines like Ayurveda, yoga and Vedic astrology. Vedanta is the essence and the end of the ancient wisdom of Vedic science of consciousness. Giten will reveal the deepest secrets of the ancient wisdom of Vedanta, which reveals the steps to meditation, spirituality and Samadhi. Giten will also talk about the Vedantic perspective on the important prime issues of the spiritual path, the challenges of awareness, the practice of meditation and the Vedantic view of consciousness and cosmic evolution.
Satsang with Giten is a meeting in love, truth and silence. Satsang with Giten is a direct insight and realization of being.
These satsang weekend also works as a prolonged shaktipat (transmission of spiritual energy), which both creates immediate result – together with effect that becomes obvious during the coming weeks and months after the intensive. When Giten pursued an advanced training in spiritual healing in USA 1984, he was told that he had the capacity to become a seventh chakra healer, a spiritual healer, to act as a catalyst and channel for spiritual energy from the seventh chakra through the heart. The last 30 years has meant to develop and deepen this capacity to an instrument of subtle catalytic effect, which Giten uses in this Satsang series.
Satsang with Giten gathers people from all walks of life. During the last two satsangs seekers and meditators, psychotherapists, medical doctors, nurses, Ayurvedic healers and doctors, film makers from the Swedish television and musicians and music teachers have gathered.

Satyama Padma under Christmas Celebration med Giten, 24 december, 2016
“Satsang with Giten is li ke a scent, a flowering of This is it.”
Satyama Padma, Stockholm
“Satsang with Giten is a taste of the eternal, a taste of the timeless. It can feel like we sat for 3 hours, while we only sat for 40 minutes.
I was so afraid that I would lose the silence that I had found during satsang in India, but I found the silence again in satsang with Giten.
Satsang with Giten is like coming home. I went into samadhi three times during a satsang weekend with Giten – and I also got a map and an understanding for how to go into samadhi again.
Before I started to attend satsang, I did not think that enlightenment was possible, but now I feel that it is possible.
Satsang with Giten confirms what I have really always known.”
– Satyama Padma, Stockholm, from the foreword to Giten’s latest book on the teachings of Buddha

“The Upanishadic vision of life is that the universe is an organic whole. We are all existing in a togetherness. The trees, the flowers, the stones, the birds, the mountains and the stars are all interlinked. The part represents the whole. Nothing is lower, nothing is higher – all is one. The smallest blade of grass is connected with the farthest stars.”
– Swami Dhyan Giten, from satsang, November 2, 2017, in Stockholm

Giten says that he warn you in advance that to involve oneself in the teachings of the Upanishads is like playing with fire. An Upanishad cannot be understood without you also becoming transformed.
In understanding the Upanishads, doors will open to the most profound understanding known to the genius of man. The Upanishads is the secret of secrets, the mystery within all mysteries, the essence of essences.

“WHAT A JOURNEY!”:
SATSANG WITH GITEN, SPRING 2018, IN STOCKHOLM
“What a journey!”
– Deva Emanuel, participant in satsang weekend with Giten, 1-3 December, 2017
“Satsang with Giten is li ke a scent, a flowering of This is it.”
Satyama Padma, Stockholm
“Satsang with Giten is a taste of the eternal, a taste of the timeless. It can feel like we sat for 3 hours, while we only sat for 40 minutes.
I was so afraid that I would lose the silence that I had found during satsang in India, but I found the silence again in satsang with Giten.
Satsang with Giten is like coming home. I went into samadhi three times during a satsang weekend with Giten – and I also got a map and an understanding for how to go into samadhi again.
Before I started to attend satsang, I did not think that enlightenment was possible, but now I feel that it is possible.
Satsang with Giten confirms what I have really always known.”
– Satyama Padma, Stockholm, from the foreword to Giten’s latest book on the teachings of Buddha
