The tour is sponsored by New Earth, a retreat center for integral spirituality on the big island of Hawaii. Madhukar is a German author and teacher in the Advaita tradition, on a rare trip to the US. He studied economics and philosophy, and worked in broadcast journalism before embarking on spiritual seeking. In the early eighties, he made his way through Asia and studied with the Tantric-Buddhist Dzogchen-Master Namkhai Norbu, and experienced a spontaneous kundalini-enlightenment. In 1992, while staying in India, he met his master H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji), a disciple of the great sage Ramana Maharshi. With Papaji's blessing, for the last 30 years, Madhukar has passed on his knowledge in satsang (sat = truth, sangha = community). He emphasizes the harmony between spirituality and the sciences, such as physics, and sees that a life in awareness of the interconnection of all things is possible for every person. His teaching emphasizes self-inquiry with the question: “Who am I?”. When the perceived, limited reality of the ego is questioned, pure consciousness (the Self) can be experienced. Tapping into this deeper Self, absolute freedom, over-all love and silent happiness are at hand - bringing a lightness to the daily experience of regular life. Please join this event on Facebook, so that we can keep you informed as dates, times and locations are finalized. All love, Madhukar USA Tour team: Christine Mason & John Shiva, New Earth Mandala Frederic Champagne Ballario, Santa Cruz coordinator Angela Nelson, San Luis Obispo coordinator Carolyn Davis, New York lead
