CULTIVATING THE INNER LIFE
Sacinandana Swami
An invitation to Upbuild’s in-person community event this year
We've been missing the opportunity to gather in person with you. And not only do we get to meet up in the flesh but we have the great fortune to spend an evening with Sacinandana Swami. Many of you know him from Remembering Who We Are and his On the Brink of Death special series over the last few years. For those who don't yet know him, he is Hari’s guru and one of the most pivotal guides for Upbuild. We're thrilled to offer his presence and teachings live to you all and to come together with you in this very special way.
Sacinandana Swami will give a talk about what it means to live the inner life and how we can experience the true self increasingly through personal practice. He'll guide us in a spiritual practice and answer questions before we serve a sacred meal cooked with love by friends of our community, Divya's Kitchen. The venue will be in NYC and announced in the coming weeks to those who register. Please register now and make your travel plans so that we can be sure to have you. Space is limited.
More About Sacinandana Swami:
Sacinandana Swami has been a monk in the bhakti tradition for 50 years. He has inspired and guided our work at Upbuild since the very beginning in 2008. He is Hari Prasada's guru and has been a very dear teacher to Rasanath as well. He has lovingly invested in us personally and as an organization. He is known for his significant contribution to the practice of contemplation and meditation for modern practitioners of bhakti. Sacinandana Swami has published seven books and released two CDs, and offers an array of retreats, seminars, and workshops. Thousands of enthusiastic singers and dancers visit his kirtan concerts. He teaches at the Vrindavana Institute for Higher Education in India and the Bhaktivedanta College in Belgium. Furthermore, Sacinandana Swami serves as the spiritual guide for the Veda Academy, which is active in eight countries, and recently founded the organization, "Yoga Is Music". Fond of India’s sacred pilgrimage sites, he annually goes there to seek personal inspiration. Although his pilgrimages have taken him all over the subcontinent, he is particularly fond of the sacred land of Vrindavan, the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
