Come closer to what is true.

Maharshi Sahaj

Some teach what they have read. Some teach what sells. Maharshi Ji says what he has verified over a lifetime of seeking.

Maharshi Sahaj had an inquiring urge about the Ultimate Truth of this existing world. When education of modern science could not satisfy him with its answers, he explored ancient science given by mostly Indian philosophers, psychologists, and spiritualists.

After 15 years of quest, and trying various proceedings - a Master who was The Lama from Tibet and did not only preach, but spoke from the place of Truth (which he had realized), satisfied him.

He now, recognizes and feels the pain of other seekers that he comes across, seeing that they are struggling the same way as he once did.

Why seek the truth

Life is a beautiful gift when wisdom lifts it to a higher plane.

A beautiful life is liberated from misery, liberated from dependence on others for happiness, liberated from the fear of death, liberated from depression and stress, liberated from all those issues that are hindrance to elevate our life to eternal happiness and peace.

  • What mistake is bounding us, not to live our life in totality, but in a very small portion?
  • What action should we take, so that we could enjoy our liberated life in its entirety?
  • What is spirituality and how by not being aware of it, we could be harming ourselves?

Answers to all these questions and more forms the base and leads you to a quest to realize your better, higher and blissful self.
