John Sherman does an online, world wide, satsang often on Sundays. You can see the schedule here. I attended (virtually) the meeting this last Sunday, August 12th. You can hear the Mp3 here (or if you prefer the direct link, here). I got to talk with John, which was a thrill for me since I am a big fan of his uncompromising, no nonsense approach to self-inquiry. I’ve listened to all of John’s previous podcasts and have found them to be quite useful and encouraging.

John Sherman is a student of Gangaji, who was a student of Papaji, who was a student of my personal hero Ramana Maharshi. When I first came across Ramana Maharshi, on the shelf of a used book store, I was immediately taken in. I read his Collected Works and started in on Talks, practicing his simple message of self-inquiry for some time. That kind of faded into the background for a while as I studied other practices, but I was roped back in after reading The Power of Now and learning later that Eckhart Tolle was influenced by Ramana. It’s good to be back to this simple, simple practice.

I hope you enjoy the audio file.
