CONFERENCE

“The 4 forces that support our spiritual life”

In his teachings, Sri TK Sribhashyam invites us to remain authentic and cultivate gratitude for what nourishes our inner strength. Like the roots of a tree, these sources support us and transmit essential values. These teachings remind us of our deep connection with the universe and the importance of recognizing what illuminates our spiritual path.

CONFERENCE

“Spirituality and Meditation into the 21st Century”

Spirituality in India has certainly evolved over time, from the time of the Aryans to the present day. However, despite several millennia of transmission, the teaching of the philosophy and practice of yoga has always remained faithful throughout the ages. This transparency, this erasure of the masters in particular, was necessary to maintain the spiritual foundation, regardless of the changes in form established over time. Meditation has been and always will be at the heart of any spiritual approach, but how has it adapted to modern times, to globalization, and to the Western world?

William Altman

He had the chance to meet Jean Klein at the age of 16, whose teaching he followed for many years - teaching based on Advaita Vedanta (Non-Duality) one of the major branches of Indian philosophy. He practiced postures and pranayama from the books of André Van Lysebeth. In 1998 he joined the Yogashemam school directed by Sri TK Sribhashyam whose teachings he has faithfully followed ever since.

CONFERENCE

“What is the mind?”

All the texts of Indian philosophy related to Yoga ask us to master our mind. We still need to know what the mind is. What is it made of? What is its function? How is it constructed? What does it impose on us? And from there, experiment with the teachings these texts offer us, in order to achieve this mastery of the mind.
