Bengaluru, India — Not simply experiencing silence. Becoming the silence.
For 30 meditators at S-VYASA University in Bengaluru, this was at the heart of All Here’s Silent Mind Advanced Training, led by Erkin Bek and the All Here team.
The days began in darkness. Meditators gathered for chanting, yoga, prāṇāyāma and meditation under a nearly full moon. As the sun rose over S-VYASA, the sound of Vishal Vardhan’s bansuri flute carried over the horizon.
Practice unfolded alongside study, reflection and inquiry into the nature of meditation itself, moving beyond the Mind-Body connection to Stability of Mind and towards absorption.
Beyond the physical.
Beyond the object.
Towards emptiness.
Towards Silence.
For one participant, the training was “the most fascinating thing I have experienced ever.”
Another described a profound shift during the training: “I felt a kind of unification — I lost the boundary of my body.”
Each day, new practices were introduced progressively, paired with intellectual discussion and daily scientific lectures on the neuroscience of meditation. Hands-on demonstrations in the classroom brought the science to life, and guest lectures by Dr. HR Nagendra added further depth.
