Silence (Maun) Therapy

Silence holds the key to opening doors to a wholesome life, ultimate liberation and attainment of happiness. It uplifts our visions, our concepts, our way of thinking, feeling and how we act in our world. Silence is the tool which helps us know and experience fully who we are and what our purpose in life is. Silence offers the way to complete liberation for body, mind and soul. The appreciation for silence replaces the need for addictive thoughts and activities. When we love silence, there is no reason to run away from our thoughts and fears. The practice of silence brings unspeakable peace.

Speech is the biggest consumer of our energy, it depletes the oxygen in our body and mind and causes energy burnout. This is turn causes the mind to overheat, which leads us to become angry, impatient etc and hence we are unable to think or act calmly, coolly or rationally. Swami Ji recommends the practice of silence in his workshops and seminars. Only by participating in this silence therapy will you realize the benefits of it and the amount of energy you will gain from it.

There can be many other ways to communicate with each other without using speech, Swami Ji believes that when two people meet it is possible to communicate in an energetic level because communication is not just only by speech. Swami Ji does much work with energy and believes we can synchronize our energy  in silence rather than through speech. Words can only ever give a limited interpretation of our real feeling, words will never grasp the real sentiments of feelings and emotions. Swami Ji believes healing energy flows more freely in silence

Swami Ji has been practicing silence at a very young age. At the age of fourteen he spent three months alone in the jungle. Before and after entering the cave in 1997 for a three and a half year practice of silence in the cave Swami Ji has spent many other periods in silence, anything from three or six months up to a year. Spending time in silence is both important and necessary for Swami Ji to exist in this world.

Swami Ji would like to let people know about his nature of needing silence. Whether it is while travelling with his work or being at home at the Ashram he would encourage people to hug him or sit with him in silence from time to time. Swami Ji would also like to express to people that he is extremely approachable and accessible if they would like to talk with and tell him their problems, he will listen and try to heal them.
