This course, comprised of conference phone calls and optional retreat, is named after a sutra from the Svacchandra Tantra, na shivam vidyate kvachit, Swami Nirmalananda recorded this as a joyous chant, celebrating all that life contains. Alternating between the Sanskrit and English, she translated the sutra as:

  There is no-where that is not Shiva.
  There is nothing that is not Shiva.
  Everything that I see is He.
  Everything that I see is Me.

Swami Muktananda made a selection of verses from key yogic texts, publishing them in a book, named after the same sutra, titled Nothing Exists That is Not Shiva.

Unfortunately, that book has been out of print for many years. Swami Nirmalananda will use Muktananda’s selection of verses to guide this course, bringing these missing commentaries to life and making them available in a personal way.

The course phone calls are free, but only when you make a commitment to participate in all the calls. You must have a current Satsangi Membership in order to enroll. If you miss a call, you will have an opportunity to make a $35.00 donation, or you may simply drop out of the course. This is to keep you from blocking someone else’s opportunity to participate, as there are a limited number of enrollments available.

Those in the Weekend Retreat will receive a gift from Swami Nirmalananda, a copy of Baba’s rare book, Nothing Exists That is Not Shiva. Having the book available will deepen your experience of the calls as well as the weekend with Swami Nirmalananda. Please register for the retreat early as there is limited space available.

Phone Calls: free of charge, though you may make a donation in honor of receiving the teachings and their support of your practice. You must commit to attending all seven phone calls and have a Satsangi Membership.
