Please join us – all are welcome and no prior knowledge is required.
We meet ONLINE twice every week (every Thursday 8pm and Sunday 3pm UK time).
We meet IN-PERSON on the first Sunday of every month at 2pm UK time and this meeting is also livestreamed on Zoom.
Meetings often start with some Silence followed by some readings, a talk and some questions. The initial silence is a wonderful opportunity for stillness and to put the teachings into practice.
After the meeting there is an opportunity to stay and connect with other people attending the meeting.
I am very happy to share that my new book ‘O Sri Ramana, The Heart: A Comprehensive Guide to Spiritual Awakening Through Advaita, Devotion, and the Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi‘ is now available on Amazon:
This book brings together a carefully curated selection of transcripts from our Satsangs, designed to serve as a comprehensive yet deeply accessible guide for the sincere seeker.
At its core, the book bridges the non-dual wisdom of Advaita with a deep, loving devotion to Sri Ramana Maharshi. Within these pages, the dialogues point directly to the freedom that has always been here – the profound presence of Being-Consciousness-Bliss that we truly are – and offer the clarity and methods needed to realise that freedom right in the middle of our daily lives.
As the book notes:
“The point of these teachings is the realisation of a total freedom, which is already wholly and completely present.”
Whether you are joining these teachings for the first time or have walked this path with me in Satsang for years, my hope is that these pages will act as luminous, rare gems to support and deepen your own journey toward self-realisation.
Many thanks to George, Vedant and Demetrius for respectively curating and editing, proofreading and designing the cover art, and especially to George without whom this book would not have been possible 🙏
I hope you find the book to be both helpful and illuminating
The hidden unity in Ramana Maharshi’s teaching only becomes clear when you see what is—and isn’t—liberation.
Discover the hidden unity in Ramana Maharshi’s teaching in this edited satsang with Tom Das—bringing together manonasa, manolaya, and manifestation, while clearly revealing their true place.
Manonasa—the dissolution of the mind—is the ultimate truth: liberation itself, the Self. It is not a state or experience, but the recognition that the mind, ego, and world never truly arose.
In contrast, manolaya (temporary quiet mind) and manifestation both belong to Maya. They can appear helpful on the path, but they are not liberation and can become obstacles if misunderstood or clung to.
This satsang cuts through these distinctions with precision. States of peace, stillness, or samadhi are not denied—but they are not the goal. Likewise, as the mind quiets, life may appear to align more harmoniously, but this too remains within the realm of appearance.
Through Self-enquiry (Atma Vichara), attention turns away from all states, experiences, and outcomes, and toward the subject: Who am I? This alone reveals what is always present.
As Tom responds to different Satsang members who each are met where they are on the path, nothing is rejected—but everything is seen in its proper place. The relative may unfold, but the absolute alone is real. This talk explores:
Why manonasa alone is liberation The limitation of manolaya (quiet mind states) Why manifestation remains within Maya How Self-enquiry dissolves the ego at its root Why sadhana (spiritual practice) is essential, even though the Self is already ever-free If you are drawn to Ramana Maharshi and direct realization, this satsang offers a clear and uncompromising pointing to what is always here.
This video was recorded live during a Satsang meeting with Tom Das on June 25th, 2026 and put together by volunteers.
