The advanced consciousness of human beings is for understanding the deepest mysteries of existence. What is life? What is its origin? Why does it exist? Yet we mostly struggle to find any practical understanding of the difference between spirit and matter. Spiritual knowledge is vague and inconclusive. Although fashionable peddlers of popular spirituality claim we are spiritual beings, there is a huge gulf between chic notions of the spiritual self and clear-cut knowledge about it.

The basic problem in our search for happiness is that our sources of pleasure are limited. Mantra provides means by which we can expand our pleasure beyond our present limitations. ROAR SOUND is a Mantra Meditation Workshop designed to get you in touch with a pleasure principle that operates beyond the bounds of time and space and emanates from the very innermost part of our being.

A warm fuzzy feeling in the heart and a sense of excitement can easily pass as love. In every relation we search for love...at home with family or at school with friends, we are looking for loving relations. We have eternally searched for that perfect relation in the name of love.

Every relationship has its ups and then the downs. Often the downs may seem to stay longer. Our eternal longing unanswered, we may ask is 'happily ever after' true only in fairytale. But the quest for a perfect relationship continues unfettered.
