Neelam, a native of Poland, has been giving Satsang internationally since 1996. She is a direct disciple of H. W. L. Poonja (Papaji), who himself awakened to the truth in the presence of Sri Ramana Maharshi.
Neelam shares Satsang with Papaji’s blessing. Known for her simplicity, skillful discrimination, and intuitive insight, Neelam gently points toward the truth at the core of us all. With her extensive personal and teaching experience, she uses inquiry to facilitate us in identifying and moving through deep-seated patterns of conditioning, bringing us to rest in Presence.
Self-Inquiry is the very core of this teaching and is based on Sri Ramana Maharshi’s guidelines for Self-Inquiry. Neelam’s unique development of inquiry includes both recognizing our true nature and meeting our conditioning fully, with tenderness.
