Regina Dawn Akers interviewed Nirmala for Awakening Together&#8217;s monthly Satsang. After a lifetime of spiritual seeking, Nirmala met his teacher,\u00a0Neelam, a devotee of\u00a0H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji). She convinced him that seeking wasn&#8217;t necessary; and after experiencing a profound\u00a0spiritual awakening\u00a0in India, he began offering\u00a0satsang\u00a0and\u00a0Nondual Spiritual Mentoring\u00a0with Neelam&#8217;s blessing. This tradition of spiritual wisdom has been most profoundly disseminated by\u00a0Ramana Maharshi, a revered Indian saint, who was Papaji&#8217;s teacher. Nirmala&#8217;s perspective was also profoundly expanded by his friend and teacher\u00a0Adyashanti, who describes Nirmala this way:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What is appealing about Nirmala is his humility and lack of pretense, which welcomes whatever arises within the field of experience. In the midst of this welcoming is always an invitation to inquire deeply within, to the core of who and what you are. Again and again, Nirmala points the questions back to the questioner and beyond to the very source of existence itself-to the faceless awareness that holds both the question and the questioner in a timeless embrace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nirmala&#8217;s website: \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/endless-satsang.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Endless-Satsang.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to the audio Rev.
