About Tuesday Meditation Events
WHY MEDITATE IN A GROUP?
Weekly group meditation is the single most effective way to develop a regular meditation practice.
The best way to make meditation easier and more enjoyable is singing Kiirtan, or mantra chanting, in a group.
WHY MEDITATE AT ALL?
The Benefits of Meditation are no longer in question. After 7000 years of 'beta testing’ by live humans, and 50 years of scientific research, the jury is in. Regular Meditation does this:
- Reduces stress and anxiety
- Brings inner peace
- Lowers blood pressure
- Increases oxytocin = trust between people
- Increases altruism and compassion
- Makes us happier
- Develops a sense of purpose
- Enables us to feel love, and to feel loved
With a mounting mental health crisis, we all need this practice more than ever.
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?
All are welcome – experienced or new meditations alike. Feel free to bring a friend.
Sessions are usually led by Dada Nabhaniilananda, a yoga monk for 45+ years. Occasionally he invites another guest teacher or one of our local members stands in when he is traveling.
There are usually anything from 6 - 16 of us. You will surely meet like-minded people. There is a very friendly, informal atmosphere and great spiritual energy.
If you have not come before please register so we can keep in touch.
KIND WORDS FROM PARTICIPANTS
" I always enjoyed the time with Dada who balanced wisdom from the old scriptures, spirituality, and blended it seamlessly into the practical life of living in a fast paced world with responsibilities and dependencies. His practical wisdom, wonderful music, and joyous energy is always uplifting. "
- Savinay Berry
“ I recently met Dada and was genuinely amazed. He’s so full of life, warm, and just instantly makes you feel good to be around him.
I joined one of his meditation sessions and it completely shifted how I think about meditation. No sitting still trying to focus on your breath—instead, he picks up a guitar and starts chanting in this melodic, calming way that actually helps your mind slow down.
It’s such a smart approach, especially for tech folks like me who find it hard to switch off. Honestly, it just works. ”
- Albina Sitdikova
" It was such a joy to meet Dada here in Silicon Valley. The satsang he led was truly a beautiful experience… filled with soulful singing, lighthearted humor, and deep, grounding wisdom. What touched me most was how effortlessly he weaved modern, tech-oriented perspectives with ancient spiritual truths. His presence is calming, his message is timeless, and his way of connecting with the heart is truly a gift. So grateful for this encounter! "
- Sarika K
It was an absolute honor hosting a Satsanga at my home. Friends from different backgrounds and faiths all singing, meditating, contemplating, discussing and asking questions on spiritual topics together is a wonderful thing. Dada leads the gathering in such a beautiful way with his voice and guitar. I love that this exists. All you have to do is feed the Monk Dude and he will transform your home into a temple!
