What kind of meditation do we teach?
The classes are a general introduction to meditation with a particular focus on meditation in the spiritual heart centre. We draw on the teachings of Sri Chinmoy who for over 35 years offered meditations for delegates and staff at the United Nations in New York.
Who should come?
- The classes are great for beginners who have not yet ventured into the world of meditation
- We have also found that people who have perhaps tried meditation before often derive signifcant benefit from just participating in the class environment.
How much does it cost?
All our classes are offered free of charge as a community service.
What should I bring?
- Its good to wear warm and comfortable clothing. Normally we sit on chairs in the classes but it can get chilly when you sit still for a long time.
- The most important thing to bring is your sincere determination and aspiration to learn meditation!
Who are the class presenters?
The classes are presented by brothers, Abhijatri and Balarka Robinson from the Johannesburg Sri Chinmoy Centre. Abhijatri and Balarka have been students of Sri Chinmoy for over 15 years. Click here for more details.
