News is exciting to the young and old alike, if it fits into their belief-systems. Man thinks no news is good news because he fears that news may bring in tidings which do not fit his beliefs. He needs to understand that no news is good news and also that any news is good news, for all news is illusory in a world which is illusory. News that conveys this understanding is good news.

Comment

Paul Dekker, Maastricht

 

Dr. Vijai S. Shankar unveils and puts at hand range for mankind the absolute understanding that man is not the doer, thinker or speaker. An understanding that the world, man and mind is a reflection of life. Life has prepared itself for this moment to unlock it’s potential and gift an enlightened being Dr. Vijai S. Shankar to share this understanding, so that man may realise his true nature. Never before in history has life put forward such an enlightened being to help man with self-realization, for only now has life reached the point to do so in it’s evolution. Therefore the Academy of Absolute Understanding is not only the first, but is also a unique academy that will preserve for generations the wisdom of what life is and invites man to live it. Let us witness this historical event that is happening right here and now.

 

Comment ‘The Epic of Absolute Understanding’

Marcus Stegmaier, Germany

 

After reading the June newsletter, the thought came to me, that this special book "The Epic of Absolute Understanding" would be a nice family-heritage and an opportunity to pass wisdom from one generation to the next.

 

Comment: KG 3 and CD ‘Doer’

Elisabeth van Wordragen, Den Haag

 

Together with Kaivalya Gita Volume 3, the satsang ‘Doer’ has helped me a lot! Really amazing understanding.

 

Letter: From a Father

 

Dear Shankar,

My son, in the last few months, has been to hospital for stitches to a lacerated arm, had a severely twisted ankle straightened in hospital, and is now in a hospital waiting for an operation to fix a fractured jaw and have a plate inserted! Excess alcohol was evident on each occasion.  

Is there something his father is missing out on for such regular happenings of an increasingly severe nature? 

A Father

 

Dear Father, 
You are not missing out on anything. This is the flow of life.  Excess or moderate is illusory.  Every drop is precisely where it is meant to be.  The flow is precise and needs to be for its journey is precise, and so is man's journey. The plate in the jaw is on its journey and your son is the courier. The movements of the doctors too are precise and that is the way they age - repairing your son. Everything is precisely where it is meant to be dear son’s father. Your son will grow up precisely as he is meant to grow up.  Relax and the father will be relaxed when he understands his son is life's son.
Shankar

 

Comment: Kaivalya Gita Vol.1

 

Mark Saunders, United Kingdom.

Last night I received a copy of Kaivalya Gita Vol.1 and read just the first chapter on loneliness, it was the most profound exposition of Advaita Vedanta I have ever come across!

 

Comment: Denekamp weekend and DVDs

 

Teun Ramaekers, Maastricht

The Denekamp satsangs were BEAUTIFUL. I enjoyed editing them so very much!!!!. I was really very captured by how You showed us the evolution of the mind. It clarifies deeply how our mind is functioning today. I 'm very touched. Also the dvd "reaction and response" is like a lightbulb lighting up and made me understand there is really no seperation.You told us this many times before but I did not hear it...I was very touched by this satsang specially. There are also 2 dvd's  "Attention " and "Force of life"...again what a piece of art.
