Aaravindha Himadra is the author of ‘Immortal Self’, a book that tells the story of his journey to the Himalayas to visit the masters of the Amartya tradition; a spiritual community he explains as ancient, reclusive and predating any other religious or spiritual belief. He describes how one of the masters came to him in a vision as a child, how he was later approached by one in a marketplace in India and how he finally made the journey after another vision called him to do so. He was the main speaker at the Conscious Concert in the RDS this year and inspired and moved many. Paul Congdon had the opportunity to sit down with Aaravindha and ask him more.

Weekend Course May 9-10: The Teachings of Aarivndha Himadra with Aiyanna Diyamayi
When you combine the right meditation practices with uncorrupted knowledge, meditation can achieve far more than stress release, or simply support the forming of a more balanced life. The meditation practices of the Arka’Vamsha Parampara, the timeless Amartya Tradition, are meant to be an advanced ascending path to enlightenment, which anyone can easily learn.
In this weekend course you have the opportunity to dive into the meditation science of the Amartya Tradition and Aaravindha Himadra. Meditation is a living art that can be deeply life changing. The meditation practices of the Arka’Vamsha Parampara, the timeless Amartya Tradition, are meant to be an advanced ascending path to enlightenment and Aiyanna says she has come to realise through her own journey that these practices quickly deepen and refine, eventually opening one to receive a fountain of bliss, spiritual nourishment, and inspiration.
The Pavanas (our most sacred and core meditation techniques) empower a very real spiritual development and actualized freedom, which involves all aspects of one’s life. Lifetimes of unresolved attachments and aversions— you could call those “karma” —that haven’t yet become realizations can be effortlessly transformed into valuable aspects of wisdom in a relatively short period of time.
Allow Aiyanna to introduce you to the subtleties that make meditation an effortless and fulfilling experience and share with you the unrivaled knowledge of the meditation practices that are apart of the Amartya tradition. This course will provide an ideal means to prepare you for the more advanced Pavana meditations. Directly after this course, you will be given the opportunity to be initiated into the Surah’Bhas Kriya. The Surah’Bhas Kriya is on its own one of the most powerful forms of Kriya mediation available to date. It will also set the ground for beginning the sacred Pavana series, provided enough right knowledge and understanding has been achieved.
This meditation seminar is suitable for most all beginners, as well as people who are already well advanced in other forms of previously learned meditation practices.

Positive Personality: Aaravindha Himadra
Invitation to an immortal perspective.
Interviewed by Elva Carri.
Aaravindha Himadra is the author of ‘Immortal Self’, a book that tells the story of his journey to the Himalayas to visit the masters of the Amartya tradition; a spiritual community he explains as ancient, reclusive and predating any other religious or spiritual belief. He describes how one of the masters came to him in a vision as a child, how he was later approached by one in a marketplace in India and how he finally made the journey after another vision called him to do so. In his book and through his teaching, he divulges the sacred lessons he learned there.
If you could teach everyone in the world one thing…
Something we’ve always had, and that is our ability for compassion. In the east it’s called Karuna and different than what we sometimes think of as compassion in the west – as a kindness or empathy. Compassion is an ancient spiritual art which requires us to become very present and acknowledge the moment. And this is something anyone can do. What is now? Where are we? What is going on right now? And if we feel truthfully into our condition, we can feel our difficulties and our hopes. If our hopes are based on illusion, they’ll feel like a weight, but if they’re based on our essential nature, they’ll feel as light as a feather.

The Conscious Concert comes to the RDS this year on March 28th. It is an evening-time event that invites cutting edge spiritual speakers and sacred musicians from all over the world to share their gifts. The line-up is a blend of sacred wisdom and quality spiritual music and the purpose? To raise positive vibrations in Ireland and the world and to provide a sacred space for consciousness to be awakened and deepened.
One of the most noteworthy speakers announced for the event is Aaravindha Himadra. Last week we had the pleasure of interviewing him as our Positive Personality for our Spring issue. And while we’re saving lots of the great stuff for the print issue, we decided to share a two little excerpts in the audio clip below. He tells us how much he’s looking forward to visiting Ireland, speaks about the importance of combining heart and mind and the importance of festivities and celebration like the Conscious Concert.
