About us
We practice meditation and spirituality according to the teachings of Sri Chinmoy, an Indian spiritual Master .Â
Sri Chinmoy encouraged us to offer meditation classes and other spiritual events free of charge to the general public. He felt that meditating on the heart – the place where we can feel the core of our being – is the fastest way to get in contact with our inner divinity.Â
Meet our classgivers
Tejvan became a meditation student of Sri Chinmoy in 1999, when studying at Oxford University. He enjoys offering meditation classes and sharing meditation with those interested. He is a keen cyclist and works as an economist.
Piyasi has been practising meditation with Sri Chinmoy since 1981. Over the years, Piyasi has given meditation classes to hundreds of seekers in Oxford.Â
Ananda are a UK music group dedicated to performing the music of Sri Chinmoy. They often give meditation concerts or perform at our meditation classes.
Frequently asked questions
What style of meditation do you teach?
We teach the kind of meditation that our teacher Sri Chinmoy taught us: meditation on the heart centre, the place in the middle of our chest where we can feel the core of our existence. Â
All the practices of meditation we do – silent meditation, mantra, visualisations, music – all have this goal of connecting you to the heart and inner self.
What should I bring to classes?
You don’t need to bring any special equipment; light, loose-fitting clothes are good. Try to arrive a little early so you can settle in.
Is this religious?
No, this is not associated with any kind of religion.
We see meditation on the heart centre as a spiritual practice – something that can connect you to your inner being, your inner divinity.
How long are the courses?
Typically there are 4-6 classes once or twice a week, and each class is typically 70-90 minutes.Â
Will this type of meditation suit me?
If you are seeking some inner peace, and a sense of self-discovery, then this kind of meditation might suit you.
People meditate for different reasons, but you are very welcome to come along and try to see if it works for you.
Are the courses really free?
Yes. We feel that the peace that meditation can bring is everyone’s birthright, not a commercial commodity. For us, giving these classes is also an extension of our own spiritual practice – sharing the gift of meditation is a powerful way to keep our own practice alive and spontaneous.
Do I have to sit on the floor?
No, we have chairs you can sit on. Â
How long will the classes last?
About one and a half hour. The classes will be finished by 9.00pm, sometimes a little earlier.
