Oneness Conferences
The
Oneness Conferences organized worldwide every year, are sourced in Sri Amma Bhagavan's noble vision
of bringing about the Global Oneness Age. Organized by the Global Oneness Community in different
parts of the world, these events are an open invitation to all those interested in sharing the
vision of the Oneness Movement; to promote Oneness. Multitudes of people participate in these
events to partake of the Oneness Blessings transferred by the Oneness Blessing Givers. Divine grace
takes an upsurge when so many people come together and pray with the singular intent of promoting
Oneness. This results in heightened states of love & joy and varied spiritual experiences.
These events also mark the coming together of the Oneness Facilitators of different
nationalities for their spiritual advancement. This event holds great significance to all the
Oneness Facilitators as they have the opportunity to be in the physical presence of Acharya Sri
Anandagiriji (one of the prime disciples of Sri Amma Bhagavan) and partake of his immense wisdom.
They would also receive a special Oneness Blessing from one of the guides belonging to the
spiritual order of Sri Amma Bhagavan.
Excerpts from Sri Anandagiriji’s talk at Abano terme, Italy :
We
gain nothing talking about the truth, about our true nature, about the unity consciousness. We only
flood our mind with more concepts. We are about living life, if we can really live life? I was
speaking to you about this young singer from Mexico. He came to the Oneness University several
times. The first time he came, he came with a very profound question – What is the Purpose of my
Life? May be if I spoke about that you will probably feel more at home because these are the
questions that you expect spiritual people to talk about. This man came with this question. And
every few hours he would ask this question to me - What is the Purpose of my Life? I would say I
don’t know, Noel. His name is Noel. He kept asking this for ten days. I had an explanation but that
explanation is not the answer, because these questions don’t have an answer. The question itself
must disappear, because the question arises from a discontent, from a sense of meaninglessness,
from a sense of a lack, lacking a purpose. I offer no explanation because that would not be the
real answer. However on the tenth day approximately we were all meditating in the night, a group of
70 people. The room was dark just a candle light at around 1 or 2 in the night we heard a man
scream in the room and we all knew it was this person because by then he had become popular in the
group because of his persistent question what is the purpose of my life. And what did he scream –
"Master! All I want to do is drink a glass of water and eat a banana". What a profound question –
what is the purpose of my life, the ultimate existential question for which every philosopher would
die to give an explanation and what an answer he found! He said – "All I want to do is drink a
glass of water and eat a banana". This is Life. If we can truly drink a glass of water and eat a
banana the question does not exist because the purpose of life is living itself. Because we cannot
experience life this way, we try to create a meaning for our life and search for that meaning. This
is life. If you are doing what you are doing when the simple experiences of your day to day
existence like drinking a glass of water, like driving your car, like working, like dancing, like
watching a movie like playing a sport, when they are transformed into enjoyable experience that is
living, that is spirituality.
Sri Anandagiriji's about Psychological Becoming:
All of us are constantly striving to become beautiful people. We want to change ourselves,
transform ourselves, become perfect in every way. We don’t want to be angry, we don’t want to be
judgmental, we don’t want to be jealous, we don’t want to compare, we don’t want to be dishonest;
we want to become this beautiful person. And all of us carry within us the image of this beautiful
person. The image painted to us by our religion, by our scriptures, by our spiritual tradition, by
our society, by our parents. What is this image? The image of the person, who is never angry, who
is never anxious, who is never afraid, who is sweet, full of love, generous, non-judgmental,
non-jealous, etc … and constantly you are trying to become this person. You read a book and see you
can become this person. You go to a temple, mosque, church, a synagogue and see if you can become
this person or you attend lectures like this, seminars like this, hoping you would become this
person. There is constantly a war, a battle of conflict happening within, a conflict between what
you are and what you should be like, your present state and the beautiful person you should be, and
that is why we constantly find ourselves evaluating every thing into two. Evaluating our thoughts,
our speech, our actions, like a referee, saying this is good, this is bad, this should be there,
this should not be there. You feel guilty, and then you do all things trying to feel better. We
waste so much of our time, our energy and our life, just trying not to feel guilty. And you hope
that one day you would become this beautiful person.
