Spiritual Seekers- Nisargadatta, Ramana & J Krishnamurti

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+).

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.

Stop fighting anxiety & transform it into your greatest teacher. 2-day workshop for releasing deep rooted anxiety & fear. Limited seats.
This intimate, deeply experiential workshop is designed to create lasting transformation and freedom from anxiety. This powerful workshop is not based on theory, but from my own experience of overcoming crippling anxiety and fear. If you’re tired of escaping anxiety and want to resolve it once and for all, this workshop will show you how.
In this workshop, you’ll:

• Transform panic and fear into clarity and presence
• Meet anxiety with love instead of fear and avoidance
• Release unresolved energy and emotions stored in the body
• Turn anxiety from your enemy into your ultimate teacher, fueling courage and spiritual growth.

My Story of Anxiety
For years anxiety was the suffocating, ever-present shadow in my life. I carried a constant tightness in my chest, the sense that something terrible was about to happen. No amount of meditation or healing techniques could silence it. I cried alone for hours, wondering why everything felt unbearable when all I wanted was peace.
What finally broke the cycle wasn’t another technique, but a shift: I stopped running from my anxiety. I sat with it. I let it burn me and strip away my illusions. That raw confrontation became my doorway. Anxiety, the enemy I hated, became my teacher.

Schedule - This is a 2 day workshop. Each day will have a 2 hour session.
Date: 14 & 15 Feb 2026

This is the breakthrough moment of Day 1. You won’t just talk about anxiety, you’ll step directly into it.

Testimonials
Sid Tenneti
"I had the privilege of working with Rajivji in person during his anxiety workshop. I was carrying a lot of anxiety in my body, with no clear cause or story behind it. Simply sitting in his presence, it surfaced very quickly and naturally.
His presence is unconditionally loving and non-judgmental, which creates a deep sense of safety. Because of that, things come up on their own and can be met honestly. This happened for me on two separate occasions, which gave me a lot of trust in the process and in his work."

Jas Kaur
"Rajiv has a way of seeing straight through the stories we tell ourselves. His presence alone created a space where I could finally stop running. The constant inner turmoil had worn me down completely. He taught me to stop fighting it. When I did, everything shifted and I felt grounded and at peace after a long time. "

David
"Anxiety stole years from me before I found Rajiv's sessions. I was constantly on edge, my nervous system never switched off. I'd been through therapy and tried every meditation technique I could find, but nothing helped.
During a session, surrounded by others who truly understood, I stopped fighting. The fear that had gripped me for so long finally had space to move, and something extraordinary happened. Energy that had been trapped in my chest for years released. I finally understood what it meant to be free in the presence of fear. "
