PREM MUKTA: SATSANG WITH GITEN: ANCIENT, POWERFUL AND BEYOND CONTROL
SATSANG WITH GITEN: ANCIENT, POWERFUL AND BEYOND CONTROL
“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.
I almost felt like I was going to levitate, like the energy was so compact that I could not sit still on the floor. It was like the 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.

Initiation with Giten, June 12, 2014: Love gives Freedom, and if love do not give freedom it is not love
SATSANG AND INITIATION
WITH GITEN,
JUNE 12, 2014
Love gives freedom, and if love do
not give freedom it is not love
Lotta was initiated on Satsang with Giten on June 12 in Stockholm, and was reborn as Prem Mukta, which Giten gave the personal meaning and spiritual guidance: Prem, love, and Mukta, freedom.
The whole meaning of her name becomes freedom through love. Giten told Mukta that real love gives freedom, and if love is not giving freedom it is not love.
The Satsang participant Toshen, newly operated for cancer 10 days ago, said before the Satsang and Initiation that she really wanted to attend, if her body would not collapse as she was still tired after the operation. After the Satsang and the Initiation, she commented: “It is beautiful that it is possible to meet in this way. My name means “absolute contentment”, and that is what happens in Satsang with Giten.”
The silent part of the Satsang with Giten ended in a sublime and profound silence.

Life, Love & Truth: Read Swami Dhyan Giten’s books during the summer
Life, Love and Truth:
Read Giten’s books during the Summer
“This book changed my whole view of the world.”
Ann-Sofie Segerstedt, Sweden
“Love is not an exclusive relationship with another person; love is the quality that arises when we are in contact with our inner being, with our authentic self, with the meditative quality within, with the inner silence and emptiness. This inner emptiness is experienced by others and is expressed on the outside as love. This love is not addressed to a specific person; it is a presence and quality that surrounds a person like a fragrance.”
- Swami Dhyan Giten

GITEN’S LATEST BOOK
THE LANGUAGE OF SILENCE:
FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT
IS TOUCHING HEARTS AROUND THE WORLD
“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.
“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.”
- Eric Rolf, international lecturer,
author of Soul Medicine and
former consultant to John Lennon
“As I started studying for Giten, a new dimension of awareness has developed step by step, which has transformed my whole life.”
From the foreword by Deva Emanuel, musician and student of Giten since 5 years.
“Swami Dhyan Giten is a special teacher
with 30 years of experience in the spiritual field. I have come to know about Giten from his books and I am getting his E-mail newsletter for a long time. His books and writings are powerful, and can transform a lot of people. I request you all to read his books and share his page in social media to share truth. I guarantee that his writings are great, and I am very happy to get an interview with swami.”
- Sony Mervin is a visualiser, who lives in the foothills of the Himalayas in India. His non-profit organisation Satori is famous for arranging Satsang, retreats and publications with domestic and international spiritual teachers in Tiruvannamalai and Rishikesh in India. He is currently writing the book The Big Book of Living Gurus: Satsang with 108 Spiritual Teachers from Around the World in which Giten is interviewed.

Presence – Working from Within. The Psychology of Being
Spiritual therapy works basically because we are all one. This book presents a new dimension of psychotherapy and spiritual healing with a base in meditation.
Working with people from love, truth and wholeness is the psychology of being, the science of inner transformation. The psychology of being begins where Western psychology end. It is basically not a question of psychology; it is a question of being.
The psychology of being begins where we are and takes us to that which we can be. This book is written both for people who want to discover their own inner being and for those who work with other people and wants to discover a new love, clarity, depth and inspiration in their professional work.
The different topics of the book are combined with practical exercises.
“This book is more than a book about presence, but a manual in the art of unlocking the Soul’s Presence within the Personality.”
- Eric Rolf, international lecturer and course leader, former consultant to John Lennon and author of Soul Medicine

THE SILENT WHISPERINGS OF THE HEART
- An Introduction to Giten’s Approach to Life
A Beautiful Gift for Yourself or a Beloved Friend
How can we learn to listen to the silent whisperings of our heart? How does love relate to aloneness? What is intuition? How can we develop our presence, so that our presence and intuition becomes a source of love, joy, healing and wisdom in the contact with another person? What is the difference between the personality and the inner being, the authentic self? How can we develop the inner being through meditation? How do the inner man and woman express themselves on the outside in the form of relationships? How do the three life areas, meditation, relationships and creativity, relate to each other in creating a loving, fulfilling and creative life? What is spiritual maturity?
T he Silent Whisperings of the Heart consists of a collection of quotes from Swami Dhyan Giten about awareness, meditation, intuition, relationships, the inner man and woman, healing, working with people from love and awareness, truth, creativity, silence, wisdom and spiritual maturity. Each page inspires you to see yourself and life in a new way, from a new dimension. This collection of quotes is an introduction to Giten’s perspective on life. It is a beautiful gift for yourself or a friend.
Giten has been compared with the poetry of Kahlil Gibran, author of the famous book The Prophet, and he has been quoted together with Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, Ramana Maharishi, Plato, Albert Schweizer, Jean-Paul Sartre, Bertrand Russel, Anais Nin, Walt Whitman, William Blake, Herman Hesse, Heraclitus, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and the Indian book of wisdom The Upanishads.
“Beautiful, colourful…”
Nishkam, editor, Rebelliouspirit.com
“Warmly Recommended”
Free-Awareness.com
“In The Whisperings of the Heart, Giten points at the variety of ways in which our inner being expresses itself in terms of our actions and our relationships. He also provides insights in various areas, including of course, those of healing and intuition, meditation, art and creativity, communications, loving relationships with friends and family, working with people from love and awareness and spiritual maturity.
His comments are both useful as well as joyful and inspirational. More than anything, they motivate us to taste where we may not have fully tasted before, to taste the beyond.
Giten invites us to a celebration, a feast for the soul and delights us and inspires us with capsules of insight and conscious affirmation of the deliciousness of the divine.”
From the foreword by Eric Rolf, International lecturer, seminary leader, author of the book Soul Medicine and consultant to John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Paul Simon and Carlos Santana
“Thanks for being there in this world now with your writings from the heart.”
Inge Birgit Pescatello, Germany
“Giten writes in a poetic language. When I read Giten, I am reminded of Kahlil Gibran. Yes, I would like to compare Giten to Kahlil Gibran.”
Gordon Banta, author of Magic of Meditation, USA
“In keeping our hearts with all diligence, Giten helps us address the issues of our lives, fluently and eloquently speaking the language of the heart.”
Larry Chang, author of Wisdom for the Soul, Washington, USA

The Fragrance of Satsang
The Fragrance of Satsang
The Satsang participant Lotta Hallin shared an experience when she recently sat and waited in the waiting room of a medical office. When she waited she turned within herself to the same inner quality, which she has found during Satsang with Giten.
She said that suddenly the receptionist of the medical office had approached her and told her that she had a silence and calm that made the receptionist calm herself.

SUMMER SATSANG WITH GITEN
ON 5 JUNE IN STOCKHOLM:
TRUST – THE FUNDAMENTAL LESSON
“The fundamental lesson on the spiritual path is to develop trust in yourself. When you have developed trust in yourself, you can trust other people, you can trust existence.“
- Swami Dhyan Giten
Summer Satsang with Giten during four Thursday evenings in Stockholm gives keys to spiritual maturity. Developing trust in ourselves is the fundamental lesson on the spiritual path. Giten opened Summer Satsang by lecturing on developing trust in yourself. He also talked about about that developing trust in yourself means to start loving yourself – for who can love you if you do not love yourself. The evening ended with Satsang with Giten in silence and meditation.
The next Summer Satsang on June 12 is about Healing – Opening of the Heart, which will also include initiation.
