Dharma: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Life with Guru Sri Chaitanya | Topanga Canyon

Join Guru Sri Chaitanya for an afternoon exploring the meeting point of ancient wisdom and modern life. For thousands of years, the sages of India explored consciousness through direct experience, developing sophisticated methods of meditation, self-inquiry, mantra, and contemplative practice. Through this, they developed guidance for many key questions we still ask today: Who are we at the deepest levels of consciousness? How do we balance duty and inner peace? How do we live with greater clarity? Drawing from the living traditions of Yoga, Vedānta, and Śrīvidyā, Guruji presents timeless principles in a clear, experiential, and accessible way. Rather than asking for belief, this session invites inquiry through observation, reflection, and direct experience. Together, we'll explore topics such as: • What spiritual wisdom has to offer the modern world • How to live with purpose, compassion, and inner freedom• Meditation as a science of awareness• How we can harmonize spiritual wisdom across traditions• How ancient contemplative traditions remain relevant for creating values-based families and communities Whether your path has been through meditation, yoga, psychology, philosophy, or simply a sincere curiosity about spirituality, this gathering offers an opportunity to explore these questions from one of the world's oldest living wisdom traditions. All are welcome. No cost to attend, though space is limited.
