Meet Your Meditation Teacher
Namaste my name is Nityananda das. I began practicing yoga and meditation with ASMY 25 years ago. I first started meditation to help me to gain more mental strength for my sporting pursuits. When l commenced my body was injured and sore, and mentally l knew that my life was out of balance.
From there I have been on a wonderful journey of self-discovery that has lead to a life infused with deep meaning and purpose and inner satisfaction, fulfilment and happiness. I have been teaching Yoga and Meditation for over 15 years now and have been fortunate to share these wonderful process with people in Australia, Asia and all over the world.

Meditation has given me an inner peace and happiness..I seem to be able to have this "it's okay" outlook on life's challenges. I look forward to doing my meditation everyday. It only taken 20 minutes or so out of your morning, but is it worth it? Yes, Because it gives you clarity, a smile on your face and in you heart..it gives you a feeling of walking on air. -- Nafiye
I had played with meditation so many times and hadn't found the right format to keep my practice regular and consistent, until I stumbled across this course and the beautiful Kirtan - it all changed from that moment. As I started doing more and more, I craved it more and more and it changed my mindset, my outlook and my pace in life. I then started delving into Japa & breath work and still to this day love it. You will find these practices very easy to incorporate - even in a busy life. -- Kerry

Meditation is easy to do, even for one who has not had prior training or experience. Amongst all the forms of meditation, it is Mantra Meditation which is most easy to perform.
“Mantra” means transcendental sound vibration, sound which transcends the material world. It does not originate in the material world; it originates in the Spiritual World and descends to the material platform without losing any spiritual potency.
By the simple process of mantra meditation, our mind and heart are gradually purified of all kinds of stress, worry, hankering, envy, anger, anxiety, and deep-seated fears. We begin to experience an ever-deepening inner peace and happiness and increasing insights into life.
