My Obsession With Enlightenment: Journey Through Bliss, God & Gurus

This talk is about my obsession with enlightenment & God.

I will share my personal journey of twenty years of chasing enlightenment with everything I had. I meditated 14 hours a day, lived in Himalayan caves, stayed with monks. I studied every book and guru I could find.

I'll share what those years really looked like from the inside. The friends and family who left me, and the loneliness that became my companion on this path.

I will talk about broken promises from gurus who wore robes but were predators behind closed doors. The bliss that arrived and the suffering when it left.

What happens when the caves and the guru all run out of answers?
What remains when every practice has been pushed to its limit? Come find out.

Schedule

• Talk by Rajiv followed by open Q&A
• Guided Meditation
• Spiritual networking. Make friends with others on the spiritual path

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 realised 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/
