Satsang with Swami Dhyan Giten during the winter 2014 in Stockholm: Tao – The Way of Love, Happiness and Wholeness
TAO: The Path of Love, Happiness and Wholeness
Satsang with Gitenon Thursday evenings during November, December 2014 and January 2015 in Stockholm
The new Satsang series with Giten on Tao – The Way of Love, Happiness and Wholeness began on November 6 in Stockholm. Giten started this Satsang by lecturing on Tao and commenting on Lao Tzu’s book “Tao Te Ching” and Lu Tzu’s book “The Secrets of the Golden Flower”, one the most esoteric and unknown books in the World.
In his initial lecture, Giten focused on three basic concepts in Tao: 1.The opposite poles and tendencies of Life 2. Wu Wei – Action through inaction and 3. Silence and emptiness.
The Satsang ended in silence.
Below you will find an excerpt from the lecture in English.
The lecture was also recorded live and will be available shortly in Swedish on YouTube.
The Satsang series on Tao continues during the winter in Stockholm.
GITEN ON TAO
Lao Tzu’s first paragraph in the book “Tao Te Ching” is that the Tao that can be told is not the absolute Tao.
Lao Tzu has his own logic, the logic of paradoxes, the logic of life.
To understand Tao, you will have to create eyes.
Lao Tzu believes in the unity of opposites, because that is how life is.
The Tao can be communicated, but it can only be communicated from heart to heart, from being to being, from love to love, from silence to silence.
Truth is always realized in silence. In silence, the truth is realized.
You reach to truth through silence.
All spiritual books tries to say something that can not be said in the hope that a thirst, a longing, is created in your heart to know the truth.
Tao is totality. Life exists through the tension of the opposites, the meeting of the opposites.
Lao Tzu says that the opposite poles of life are not really opposites, but complementaries.
Thinking is always of opposites. Lao Tzu says: drop the split attitude. Be simple.
And when you are simple, you do not choose. Lao Tzu says: be choiceless, let life flow.
Enjoy both poles in life, and then your life becomes a symphony of opposites.
How to drop the mind: do not choose. If you do not choose, the mind drops.
Live life as it comes – float. Float with life. Enjoy the moment in its totality,
It is to live as part of the whole, to live as part of existence.
If you become silent and empty, everything will come on it’s own accord.
When you live without any desire for power, position, fame or success, the whole existence pours down into your emptiness.

Awakening: 1-Day Satsang Intensive with Giten in Stockholm, April 12, 2014: Tantra – The Way of the Heart
AWAKENING:
It is to realize that the whole Existence is alive, and that the underlying thread of consciousness is God.”
This 1-day Satsang Intensive has been given the theme “Tantra – The Way of the Heart”, and during this Satsang-series we will explore Tantra and The Way of the Heart. The Way of the Heart is a spiritual path of love, trust, joy, silence and freedom, through which we can learn to love and accept ourselves as we are and develop our inner being, in order to discover the source of love deep within ourselves, which is our true nature.
Learning to say “yes” to life is to realize our inner potential for love, joy, trust, acceptance, understanding, humor, silence, truth, freedom, wisdom, creativity and oneness with life.
The Sacred Yes: Tantra -The Way of the Heart is to discover a deep acceptance for ourselves. It is to learn to love, respect and accept ourselves. It is to realize that we are already perfect as we are.
The Sacred Yes: Tantra – The Way of Life is to say yes to life. It means to celebrate yourself and each moment in life, whatever the truth of the moment is. It means to enjoy each moment. it means to celebrate each moment of life. It means to be thankful for each moment in life.
Deep within ourselves is the inner being, the authentic self, the inner “yes”-quality, the meditative quality within, the inner source of love and truth, the inner silence and emptiness, where we are already perfect as we are.
SWAMI DHYAN GITEN, spiritual teacher and author, has more than 30 years of experience in individual counseling and in teaching awareness and meditation. He is trained in both modern psychology and in classic Eastern methods for awareness and meditation.
In 1982, when Giten was 23 years old, he was directed by the Divine presence in a trance session with the American trance chancellor Lin David Martin: “You have listened to your intuition, to your true inner voice, more than most. You have been searching for the contact with the Spirit for a long time and now it is beginning to manifest on the outer plane. You have been gifted many times in previous embodiments and now everything will come rather easy for you. I want you to put your energy into the lives of others, because you can”.
Awakening: Satsang Intensive with Swami Dhyan Giten, February, 15, in Stockholm
Awakening: Satsang Intensive med Swami Dhyan Giten is an invitation, which can bring light on your path to inner awakening. Giten helps us to see what stands in the way of being in contact with our authentic inner being. It is an invitation to rediscover our authentic inner being, the inner silence and emptiness, the inner source of love and truth, the capacity to surrender to life.
This Satsang Intensive also works as a prolonged shaktipat (transmission of spiritual energy), which both creates immediate result – together with effect that becomes obvious during the coming weeks and months after the intensive. When Giten pursued an advanced training in spiritual healing in USA 1984, he was told that he had the capacity to become a seventh chakra healer, a spiritual healer, to act as a catalyst and channel for spiritual energy from the seventh chakra through the heart. The last 30 years has meant to develop and deepen this capacity to an instrument of subtle catalytic effect, which Giten uses in this Satsang intensive.
All are welcome to this journey towards inner awakening. This Satsang Intensive is a gift to ourselves on our way to spiritual awakening.

Goodreads quotes Giten on The World
“There is a very simple
relationship between increased
socioeconomic rifts in the society
and increased violence,
criminality, war, increased lack of
trust between people, health
problems and social exclusion –
but it seems to be very difficult
for people to understand this
simple relationship.”

– An Introduction to Giten’s Approach to Life
A Beautiful Gift for Yourself or a Beloved Friend
How can we learn to listen to the silent whisperings of our heart? How does love relate to aloneness? What is intuition? How can we develop our presence, so that our presence and intuition becomes a source of love, joy, healing and wisdom in the contact with another person? What is the difference between the personality and the inner being, the authentic self? How can we develop the inner being through meditation? How do the inner man and woman express themselves on the outside in the form of relationships? How do the three life areas, meditation, relationships and creativity, relate to each other in creating a loving, fulfilling and creative life? What is spiritual maturity?
Giten has been compared with the poetry of Kahlil Gibran, author of the famous book The Prophet, and he has been quoted together with Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, Ramana Maharishi, Plato, Albert Schweizer, Jean-Paul Sartre, Bertrand Russel, Anais Nin, Walt Whitman, William Blake, Herman Hesse, Heraclitus, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and the Indian book of wisdom The Upanishads.
