Description
The present is not just a moment. It is a reality of its own that does not belong to time. It is next to impossible for the human mind to understand the present, for it dwells only in the past or the future. Perhaps this is why, as human beings - creatures bound to the mind - we struggle to comprehend the sheer magnanimity of mindfulness, the subtle art of being here and now.
In this fascinating deep dive into the world of the "Now," enlightened teacher Avi takes us on a magical journey through the labyrinth of the mind - its fears and afflictions, desires and disappointments - to a place pulsing with pure peace, bliss, and aliveness: the eternal now.
The reason we often miss the magic of the present moment is that it seems like too simple a solution for life's complex problems. Yet, many times, it is the simplest things that are the hardest to understand. Navigating the mysterious realm of the now takes knowledge and skill. Who better to guide us on this magnificent journey than a realized teacher whose dwelling is the present moment?
Originally from India, Avi embarked on his professional journey in the financial sector shortly after completing his college education. Yet, at the age of 24, he realized that there was a void deep inside him that material achievements could never fill. Yearning for inner tranquility and a sense of purpose, he made the courageous decision to move away from home, leave his job, rent a modest room, and embark on a dedicated pursuit of meditation.
Devoting himself to intense meditation for three years, Avi underwent a profound spiritual awakening that forever transformed his life. Motivated by this newfound understanding, he eagerly began sharing his experience with others through various programs and retreats. In 2017, he traveled to the United States with one of his students, and upon his arrival, he intuitively knew that he had found a place to sow the seeds of consciousness and awareness.
Driven by his unwavering mission, Avi established the Nirvana Foundation, a nonprofit organization aimed at providing individuals with opportunities to explore the realms of meditation and self-awareness through books and programs. He speaks twice a day, and his talks are recorded and transcribed by his students which are ultimately compiled into books for publication. Currently, Avi resides and teaches in Tennessee, where construction of the first Nirvana meditation center is under way.
