The Language of Silence – From Darkness to Light
by Swami Dhyan Giten (Goodreads Author)
The Language of Silence – From Darkness to Light
5.0 of 5 stars5.00
I was 9 years old when I had my first spiritual awakening, my first glimpse of wholeness with Existence, my first taste of the language of silence, says spiritual teacher and best-selling author Swami Dhyan Giten in this book. This created a deep thirst and longing in his heart and being to return to this natural and effortless experience of being one with the Whole.
I have always had the capacity to go within myself and to discover the silence within, the inner meditative quality, the inner source of love and truth, the inner language of silence, Giten explains in this book. Now I also notice that this silence is going deeper, and that I go beyond the ego and disappear into the silence.
This book consists of a collection of quotes from Swami Dhyan Giten on silence. It also explains how silence is the flower and love and wholeness are the fragrance.
Swami Dhyan Giten has dedicated his life to teach the art of awareness and meditation. He conducts individual consultations, seminars and courses internationally. His quotes, articles and books has touched the hearts of thousands and are appearing with increasing frequency in magazines, blogs and websites.
“Swami Dhyan Giten’s The Language of Silence — From Darkness to Light reminds me of those moments when we drift back from sleep to wakefulness and the precious insights that quite often occur in those instants of ”awakening.”
It is my own experience that all spiritual paths have a common thread which most simply stated is: unconditional self acceptance. It is this process or journey toward self acceptance that leads to our connection with our individual aloneness and silence about which Giten so beautifully often comments. Here Giten tells us we find our true heart, that love that becomes our healer and a healing presence that projects beyond ourselves and heals and nourishes the lives of all others with who we have contact, be they friends, strangers or even our pets.
Giten’s The Language of Silence is a beautifully expressed and highly intimate picture of his own spiritual history. While reading this book which is formatted in short segments and insightful phrases and a true delight to read and sure to later re-visit, I had the sense of listening to his open heart as it gave words to his personal silence.
Giten offers us a quite intimate connection with his inner being and thus a glimpse of the beauty within ourselves.”
From the foreword by Eric Rolf, international lecturer, course leader, author of Soul Medicine and former consultant to John Lennon

“Giten’s work is of the beyond,

- Prem Mukta, participant in Awakening: 1-Day Satsang Intensive with Giten, October 11, in Stockholm
Open Satsang Evenings with Giten on Thursdays during November, December 2014 and January 2015 in Stockholm
Satsang with Giten is an opportunity for a direct insight and realization of being.
10 Thursday evenings, 19.00 PM – 21.00 PM. November: 6, 13, 20, 27. December: 4, 11, 18. Januari 2015: 8, 15, 22.

Place: Farsta/Stockholm. 15 minutes from Stockholm City
Information and registration: swami.dhyan.giten@gmail.com
This 2-day Satsang Weekend is Giten’s invitation to everyone, who have the inner thirst and longing for a direct recognition that our heart is the door to our being, our inner “yes”-quality, our authentic self, the meditative quality within, the inner source of love and truth, the inner silence and emptiness, the capacity to surrender to life.
This 2-day Satsang with Giten is an opportunity for a direct insight and realization of being. To meet our inner being means to witness and affirm everything that we already are. It is to meet that that which is already perfect within ourselves.
Silence is the only way to convey truth – from one silent heart to another silent heart. A man of silence moves with a certain field of energy around him, and if you are receptive, his vibe starts touching your heart. Giten has developed a quality of subtle catalytic effect, which can help you to a direct insight and realization of being. It is a silent transmission from one silent heart to another silent heart. Participants in the 1-day Satsang Intensive with Giten on October 11, commented that there occurred spontaneous moments of deep silence and emptiness. The Satsang participant Prem Mukta said: “Giten’s work is of the beyond, it leads you beyond yourself, which I love.”
During this 2-day Satsang we will explore three keys to spiritual maturity, which will function as three underlying currents and which will be developed intertwined during the Satsang weekend: 1. The inner being: the first key is to develop the inner “yes”-quality, the meditative quality within, the inner source of love and truth, the inner silence and emptiness, the capacity to surrender to life. 2. The balance of life: the second key is to expand our being and to embrace the opposite poles and tendencies of life in meditation and creativity, love and freedom, relating and aloneness, happiness and sadness, fear and trust, sound and silence, the silent, watchful and female pole in meditation and the creative, active and masculine pole in meditation – silence in our inner center and movement in the periphery, where we learn to float with the river of life, rather than trying to swim against the current of life and 3. The Ultimate Mystery: the third key is to learn to recognize the precious moments of silence and emptiness, where the inner being becomes a door to oneness with life and where we understand that we have never been separated from life. A man of silence finds this whole world full of silence. Even the sounds only deepen his silence. The Ultimate Mystery is only heard when the mind is completely silent. It is the sound of silence. It is a silence dancing. And it is the most beautiful experience.
In a loving and supportive climate and atmosphere, and by using both open space for truthful communication with Giten and silent satsang, this 2-day Satsang presents a great opportunity for a direct remembrance and recognition of the pure being that we already are. We recognize the source of love deep within ourselves, which is our true nature. We realize all our possibilities for love, joy, acceptance, humor, trust, creativity, truth, freedom, silence, wisdom and oneness with life.
SWAMI DHYAN GITEN, spiritual teacher and author, has more than 30 years of experience in individual counseling and in teaching awareness and meditation. He is trained in both modern psychology and in classic Eastern methods for awareness and meditation.
In 1982, when Giten was 23 years old, he was directed by the Divine presence in a trance session with the American trance chancellor Lin David Martin: “You have listened to your intuition, to your true inner voice, more than most. You have been searching for the contact with the Spirit for a long time and now it is beginning to manifest on the outer plane. You have been gifted many times in previous embodiments and now everything will come rather easy for you. I want you to put your energy into the lives of others, because you can”.
A spiritual teacher, who have counselled thousands of people, told Giten in 1984: “You will dissolve into the silence. All the earlier enlightened Masters and all the small Deva’s are just here to help you to get enlightened.”
He is author of the best-selling book “Meditationens Sång” (Swedish edition, www.adlibris.se), “The Silent Whisperings of the Heart”, “Presence – Working from within. The Psychology of Being”, “The Language of Silence: From Darkness to Light” and “Song of Meditation – Photo book of the Life and Work of Swami Dhyan Giten (the English titles are available at international internet book shop Lulu.com: www.lulu.com/spotlight/Giten).

Swami Dhyan Giten warns about a third world war
SPIRITUAL TEACHER AND AUTHOR SWAMI DHYAN GITEN
WARNS ABOUT A THIRD WORLD WAR
Since almost a year, Giten has warned about the threat of a third world war.
Since 5 years, he has also warned about the plans of the global and economical elite to create a global dictatorship and a… global electronic police state, whose scope was made clear by the recent revelations of Edward Snowdon, whistle blower and former employee of NSA, the American intelligence agency.
Giten has warned about the plans of the global and economical elite to start the third world war between the Middle East, Europe and Russia, which is happening now.
Giten has also warned that the mainstream media in the West is bought and controlled by the global economical and political elite and their intelligence agency’s, and that they will only publish war propaganda to make the people support the third world war. This is why the main stream media is now trying to demonize Russia in every way.
These plans include a nuclear war, which will make a radioactive sandpile out of Sweden, while USA can defend themselves through their robot missile defence.

What is Love…

Satsang with Swami Dhyan Giten during the winter 2014 in Stockholm: Tao – The Way of Love, Happiness and Wholeness
TAO
- The Way of Love, Happiness, and Wholeness
Satsang with Giten on Thursdays during November, December 2014
and January 2015 in Stockholm
Satsang with Giten is an opportunity for a direct insight and realization of being.
Satsang is teaching by silence, and during this Satsang series during the winter 2014 in Stockholm, Giten will talk about Tao, the ancient Chinese path to love, happiness and wholeness. Tao is simple spontaneity, living life according to nature, which emphasises teaching by silence.
Only through silence, the truth can revealed. Only in silence, the truth can be transferred. During these Satsang evenings, Giten will talk about the Chinese Taoist mystics to ignite the flame of individual awareness and insight.
Tao emphasizes hollowness and wholeness. To be empty inside, to be hollow, is the meaning of meditation.
If you can be nourished even by emptiness, you are in touch with the eternal.
During this Satsang series we will explore Taoistic concepts both intellectually and existentially like the difference between the personality, the psychological “I”, and the inner being, the authentic self, the inner meditative quality, the inner silence and emptiness.
We will also explore the difference between being somebody and being a hollow bamboo, a nobody, and the difference between swimming against the current of the river of life, and simply floating with the river of life, just accepting life as it is – the essence of Tao.
These Satsang evenings begin with a lecture by Giten on Tao, and will end in silent Satsang.
Previous experience of meditation is recommended.

“Satsang with Giten was totally wonderful!”
- Toshen, Stockholm
“It is so rare with this kind of silence.”
Prem Kalyani, musician and accomplished violin player, participant in Satsang with Giten
“Giten gave me life back. An awakening. I have seen the beauty in life, and I know that that this is the way.
I like Giten a lot. He is fantastic. The presence and impact he has on people. His wisdom and humor.”
- Prem Mukta, Stockholm
“In some moments, I realize what an incredible opportunity Satsang with Giten is, and in other moments I fall back to the unawareness and sleep of the mind. I had never dared to take the step to participate in Satsang with Giten if there was not such a love. Since I began to study for Giten, a new dimension of awareness has developed step by step, which has transformed my whole life.”
- Deva Emanuel , musician and student of Giten since 6 years
“Satsang with Giten is a rich and warm emptiness. I want to give Giten all love and my warmest thank you. Giten and the Satsang has given me so much. I have never been so close to happiness before. In many moments, life has become complete.”
- Prem Mukta, Stockholm
“The silent Satsang yesterday felt strong. Almost immediately when we sat down in silent Satsang, I was filled with an energy so strong that it felt like I was surrounded by an almost physical energy field. Satsang danced, it was living its own life. It felt ancient, powerful and beyond control. And in the middle of everything, a loud and wild laughter grow, which I had to fight to keep back. It felt like I would never stop laughing if I began. When Giten sounded the bell that the Satsang was over, I had to concentrate to come back in one piece, remind the body of the frame, remind the head of the room, of the here and now. After a while, it worked, and the effect was that I felt happy, calm and full of love after Satsang.
- Prem Mukta, Stockholm
“Even if I am not physically present on Satsang, I am always present in my heart every Thursday. I love these Thursdays.
- Prem Mukta, Stockholm

AUTHOR SWAMI DHYAN GITEN
ON SPIRITUAL ORGANIZATIONS
“A prerequisite for development is to know when it is time to hold on, and when it is time to let go of the old and take a new step. A prerequisite for all development is also a certain aloneness. The other side of creativity is a willingness to be alone.
Some time ago, I felt that I experienced more limitations, than possibilities in a spiritual organization, which I had belonged to for a long time. It became clear for me that I was prepared to expand, and take a new step in my spiritual growth. To be spiritual does not mean to belong to a spiritual group. I felt that I had grown out of the kindergarten, and my inner tree was bearing fruit. Too many large trees can not grow in a narrow area. This was a lesson to stand on my own feet; it was a lesson for me to live to my own life, to live my own truth, without following anybody else. I do not belong to any spiritual group or tradition, I am only interested to explore what it means to live with open eyes. This lesson developed an expanded my inner being.
A friend came with a good advice during this period: “Go ahead without looking back, let others do their thing, that is their choice and freedom – you do need their limitation.”
More than 20 years ago, one of my mentors in life said two things, that I have had reason to remember during the years that I have worked with people. He said: “Spiritual Masters teach on many different levels at the same time. Some people take what they can, and some take something deeper” and “Spiritual organizations also tend to get stuck in ideas of how it should be.”

Satsang with Swami Dhyan Giten during October, November and December 2014 in Stockholm
SATSANG
with
A beautiful woman said in a consultation with Giten that she felt that she had to leave Sweden, because she felt that her friends and family did not allow her to to grow, to change.
An intelligent psychologist commented in a consultation with Giten that he appreciated that he had not come to some sort of cult.
Giten has now held Satsang in Stockholm for almost a year, which has been a mixed experience. The inner process in Satsang with committed seeker of truth has been a sublime, beautiful and precious experience, but the outer response from Sweden and the spiritual community has been a response of “no”, resistance, lack of commitment to spiritual growth and mind-negativity, which has been tiring.
The current Satsang series “Buddha – The Emptiness of the Heart” ends on October 9, and after that Giten will decide if there is enough “yes” and commitment to spiritual growth to continue with Satsang in Stockholm.

Giten attacked by the cult that managed to murder their own master
Giten attacked by the cult that managed to murder their own
master
- and they are still going strong
“It is not many things that modern psychology agress upon, but all the different approaches of psychology agrees on one thing: that people in groups become more stupid. Individually people are more intelligent, because they have to take their own responsibility, but in a group they do not have to take the same responsibility.
The two basic power strategies to try to manipulate and gain control over another person are: silencing and attacking. Silencing means to not listen to, to exclude or ignore and not respect a person. Attack can both mean to attack a person directly or to try to discredit a person through lies, to ridicule a person or by spreading malicious rumours.
All organizations are more or less dysfunctional. In a dysfunctional group, the members of the group play three different roles: agressor, denier and victim. The agressor is the role that attack and ridicule people, the denier never knows what is going on, there is “no body at home”, and the victim is the resultat of these two roles.
It is always easier to follow a group without awareness, than to follow your own heart, to trust your own intelligence, love, truth, silence and creativity.”
- Swami Dhyan Giten
Presence – Working from Within.
The Psychology of Being
OSHO NEWS
- THE BEHAVIOR OF A CULT
Punya, the editor of Osho News, received the newsletter of spiritual teacher and best-selling author Swami Dhyan Giten on Friday, and on Saturday she sent the following comment to Giten: this guy is really going over the top. Punya. This would mean that she found Giten too extreme.
After a mail conversation with Punya a couple of years ago, Giten told Punya that he did not appreciate her unprofessional behaviour. Punya answered this complaint against her by saying that then Osho News would not review Giten’s latest book, which they had planned.
Giten told this story to the professional psychotherapists, which he supervise and educate, and they just laughed at this as an example of lack of professionality and an example of the behaviour of a cult.
Giten sent Punya a mail about her latest stupid comment, but she has not answered. This latest comment is another example of unprofessional behaviour and an example of the behaviour of a cult.
The mail-adress of Osho News are now removed from Giten’s mailing list.
Sadly, this kind of judgemental people in sannyas has caused great damage to sannyas during the years, and a lot of intelligent people has left sannyas because of that.
Giten is not associated with the organization around Osho, and he has told Osho News that if they do not solve this situation with intelligence, he requests that they remove all his books from the Osho News site as he do not want to be associated with stupid and judgemental behaviour of a cult.
Punya answers:
Punya wrote an answer to Giten and the explanation was that she made a mistake: she meant to send the comment about Giten and his work to somebody else, but she made a mistake and sent it direcly to Giten.
She also said that this comment was because Giten has published a photo book about his work.
Giten has requested that all his book are removed from Osho News as he does not want to be associated with this behaviour of a cult.
Otherwise the response was the usual denying and attacking Giten from the Osho movement, which is the usual strategies in a cult and dysfunctional group. One sannyasin on the Facebook group “Satsang” tried to insult Giten by writing the following: It sounds like Giten has a lot of unresolved anger in him, and a greed for power which reminds me of Paul Lowe… It sounds unintelligent and inconsistent. Like little children trying to convince their mom that they are innocent by pointing the finger elsewhere than themselves… Some “spiritual teacher” :-/
This was posted on the Facebook group “Sannyas”, and the same Punya had clicked that she liked this insult on Giten, which was not surprising.
