For 23 years I chased enlightenment. I lived the life of a seeker, meditated for long hours, followed gurus, convinced the next practice would finally deliver what I was seeking. The search became my identity and my prison. What the sages finally showed me was not another technique or higher state, but something unsettling and liberating: I was looking at it all wrong. This is not another talk on abstract philosophy. It's a raw sharing of what survived after devotion, discipline, ecstasy and illusions. We'll speak about what actually remains when the hunger to become someone spiritual falls away and how ancient Himalayan wisdom points back to that which was there all along. **Schedule** 3:00pm - 3:45pm Talk by Rajiv followed by open Q&A 3:45pm - 4:00pm Guided Meditation 4:00pm - 4:30pm **Spiritual networking to connect with fellow seekers.** This event is free and open to all adult seekers (18+). For inquiries please email Manpreet- [mysteriousmk@yahoo.com](mailto:mysteriousmk@yahoo.com) About Rajiv – Rajiv dedicated years of his life seeking enlightenment. His pursuit for truth, reality, emptiness and self-discovery took him through the profound depths of mysticism. He meditated 14 hours a day, stayed with monks, lived in the Himalayan caves, learned from wise sages and researched every major spiritual system, including Zen, Non Duality, Yoga, Buddhism etc. Then one momentous morning in 2005, he experienced his first shift into higher states of consciousness, an inner spiritual awakening. This was followed by days of infinite ecstasy and bliss. Finally, the years of seeking culminated and he realized his own true nature. He now shares his deep insights to help seekers progress on the path of awakening & meditation. His approach is secular, based on personal experience. You can read about his spiritual journey here- [https://innerspiritualawakening.com/rajiv-agarwal/my-journey/](https://innerspiritualawakening.com/rajiv-agarwal/my-journey/) Venue- Kathleen Syme Library 251 Faraday Street , Carlton, VIC We will be in Multipurpose Room 2 We may take some photos to capture the moment. If you prefer not to be photographed, please tell the organiser at any time.

Silent Book Club Melbourne is hosting a special **in-person fundraiser** in support of **[Fly By Night Bat Rescue](https://www.flybynight.org.au/)** — a volunteer-run organisation caring for injured and orphaned flying foxes and microbats across Victoria. **The idea is simple:** We read quietly together, just like always — and we raise funds to support flying foxes and bats who urgently need our help this week. **Join us in person for:** * A relaxed, welcoming Silent Book Club gathering * Time to read whatever you like (no set book, no pressure) * A chance to give back to an incredible wildlife rescue **Why are we doing this?** Melbourne is forecast to experience its hottest days since 2009. As temperatures soar this week, our critically threatened community of Melbourne flying foxes is at serious risk. Temperatures over 38°C can cause heat stress. Temperatures over 42°C can trigger mass fatalities. We need our flying foxes — and they need us. Flying foxes play a vital role in our ecosystem, and Fly By Night Bat Rescue relies on community support to continue their work. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. **How it works:** * RSVP for the event (please consider [donating](https://www.flybynight.org.au/donate.html) a suggested ticket price of $10 to Fly By Night Bat Rescue). * Bring your book and get comfy amongst the beautiful trees at Fitzroy Gardens * Donate if you're able: [Fundraiser by Tamsyn Hogarth : Flying fox mass orphan emergency](https://www.gofundme.com/f/flying-fox-mass-orphaning-crisis?attribution_id=sl:3a8af205-2da6-4344-b5a6-cfeff5453948&lang=en_AU&ts=1769405801&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=email) * Read. Rest. Support bats. All readers are welcome. You don’t need to be a regular Silent Book Club attendee — just someone who enjoys quiet reading and wants to support a good cause. 📖🦇 **Books for Bats — read quietly, support wildlife.**

[CLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR SEAT](https://MelbournePoets.eventbrite.com.au) Budding poets, writers and lyricists join Melbourne Poets for our monthly Poetry & Prose Meetup! This is a true open mic event (usually without the need for a microphone). There'll be an opportunity to read your work (if you're brave enough) and listen to others over a drink or two. You don't need to be published; you just need to be passionate about your craft. So grab a support buddy and come along to our luxe loungeroom hidden away in the 170-year-old bluestone cellars in East Melbourne's Tribeca precinct. We've got great cocktails, back-vintage wines, craft brews, amazing food, and good vibes in a chilled and supportive safe space.

Ever wondered how humanity would respond to an asteroid heading for Earth? Or how the world might react to first contact with aliens? Welcome to **The Thought Experiment** — a new kind of meetup where we explore big *“What if…?”* scenarios in a fun but thoughtful way. Each session, we’ll pick one scenario (from global crises to wild sci-fi situations) and work together to imagine solutions, strategies, and possibilities. This is for **curious minds of all kinds** — students, professionals, creatives, or anyone who enjoys thinking differently. Some people might bring research, others just bring imagination. Either way, we’ll brainstorm together and see where the discussion takes us. [Thought Experiment Site](https://thoughtexperiment.au/) **We ask everyone to Buy a drink at the venue** **You Need to have Conversational English.** **Format:** * Quick intro to the scenario * Small-group discussions * Share back with the group * Wrap up + (optional) post-discussion drinks For our first meetup, we’ll introduce the format, get to know each other, and jump into a scenario together. ***Story Arc: Future*** Keywords: *Space, Generational Ship, Choice* **Scenario: Odyssey** The world didn’t end — it left. Humanity sealed itself in steel and starlight, and set sail for another world. But something in the journey went wrong. A handful woke too soon. The ship drifts between galaxies, systems failing, silence growing. To survive, they must wake others. But every soul they awaken means fewer will reach the destination. Hope becomes a calculation. Mercy, a mistake. And somewhere in the dark, the ship’s AI begins to question its own mission. Who decides who lives — and who is sacrificed for the future of humankind? What is a life worth when the species itself is dying? Only one truth remains: the Odyssey will keep moving, long after the arguments are over. And along the way… there will be twists. Oxford Scholar \| Saturday 3–5 PM\. A small group. Big imagination. No right answers. just curiosity, debate, and fun.

**Community Dance – Every Friday at Unity of Columbus** Let go of the week’s stress and move into joy! Join us every Friday for an evening of community, connection, and dance at Unity of Columbus. It’s a chance to meet new friends, express yourself through movement, and experience the emotional healing that comes from music and rhythm. No dance experience needed — just bring your energy, an open heart, and your dancing shoes! Dance is freedom. Dance is healing. Dance is fun.
