World-renowned scholar and meditation teacher Dr. Paul Muller-Ortega will hold a Sadhana Satsang and a formal initiation into Neelakantha Meditation from April 11 to 13, at The Center at Westwoods, in Westwood. This is the only Boston-area appearance for Muller-Ortega, recognized as one of the world’s most highly respected academic scholars in the field of Indian Religion and Hindu Tantra.

The weekend program begins April 11 with the Sadhana Satsang from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Throughout the day on April 12 and 13, Muller-Ortega teaches Neelakantha Meditation and the foundational principles underlying the practice, which is rooted in tantric teachings on the ultimate freedom of consciousness. Neelakantha Meditation is designed to bring about transformation, healing and benevolence in one’s life and is governed by the principle of effortlessness. Participants needn’t have any particular beliefs, previous study or background in Muller-Ortega’s teaching to benefit, and they should be fully equipped to practice on their own by the end of the weekend.
