About Rhitom Sarkar
Born to musician parents, child prodigy Rhitom Sarkar started out playing Indian classical music but soon veered towards playing the guitar due to its musical appeal (akin to vocal) to glide. His innovative mind searched for ways and means to incorporate the finer nuances of Indian music into his guitar practice. Rhitom’s preferred instrument is the Indian slide guitar or ‘gandharvi’ – a modified archtop acoustic with sympathetic and plucked drone strings, specially designed for playing ragas. Ragas are the melodic patterns and modes in traditional Indian music compositions.
An ‘A-grade artist’ from AIR (All India Radio) and student of the musician master, Pt. Debashish Bhattacharya, Rhitom has received many international accolades and awards for his music and compositions throughout his career.
About Sahaja Yoga Meditation
Shri Mataji – Sahaja Yoga Meditation at Sydney Town Hall 2006
Sahaja Yoga is a simple and dynamic method of meditation that can be easily integrated into your daily life. The meditation provides the experience of thoughtless awareness, also known as mental silence, which is the basis of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. (More about our classes.)
About Shri Mataji
Shri Mataji founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation
Shri Mataji introduced Her unique meditation in 1970 and people in more than 120 countries now practise and enjoy it. Her foundational practise teaches a meditation technique which begins with Self Realisation and awakens our inner spiritual aspect. As a result, we experience thoughtless awareness during our meditation which promotes health and well-being.
After introducing the technique of Sahaja Yoga meditation, Shri Mataji travelled constantly up until the early 2000s, offering free public lectures and the experience of Self Realisation to all. She enabled people to pass on this valuable experience to others, as well as the technique necessary to sustain it through regular Sahaja Yoga meditation. Shri Mataji was born on 21st March 1923 in India and passed away on 23rd February 2011 in Genoa, Italy, aged 87 years.

Quotes by Shri Mataji
Meditation
“Only in meditation you are in present and you grow in your spirituality.”
Clean Heart
“If your heart is clean, you can see the other person clearly through and through. Innocence is such a powerful thing.”
Innocence
“You have to have complete faith in yourself and that your Self is nothing but innocence.”
Thoughtless Awareness
“In thoughtless awareness nobody can touch you, that’s your fortress.”
Needs
“I need this, I need that, I need that. We should know what other people need.”
Love
“You may be very great, you might be very intelligent, you may be earning lots of money, whatever it is. It’s not so important. What is the most important thing is that you are loved.”
