Video Part 1 

Premananda's books and a silent meditation.

Part 2

Starting with jokes; purpose of Satsang; looking inside being not busy with the world; coming to the end of the cycle of desiring; you are love; your essence is where you want to come to; nothing to get; we are unhappy because we are so busy with the world; once you stop - there it is; love and peace is your nature; why make an effort to be you? Be as you are; sit quietly and feel what happens inside you; surrender to a master; not comfortable; a resonance with your master; the play between the master who knows and the one who likes to know is very beautiful; the master’s effort is to show you that you are exactly as he is; stay close to the master; freedom is for the few crazy people who are ready to give everything; it is easy to experience an awakening; why not have this through the whole life? believing in an identity which is based on conditioning is in an obstacle to freedom; becoming free without master is difficult but not impossible; no changes in daily life after enlightenment; wanting to share what was understood with enlightenment with other people; initially nobody was really interested in Premananda’s experience.

This Interview with Premananda has been recorded at the Open Sky House in August 2009 near Cologne. In the first part of the interview the questions are asked by Birgit, second part by Devasetu, third part by Rama and in the fourth part of the interview Premananda talks about his new book: "Arunacha Shiva". The first three parts are in English without translation, the fourth part is in English with German translation because the book will be published in both languages.

Part 2 

The conflicts in the world starting in the conflicts inside ourselves; about Premananda’s work of showing people how to become free of the conditioned mind and its effects on the environment; about the reasons of war between different nations; the war inside of us manifests in war on the outside; nationalistic attitudes change with an increasingly conscious mind; the wealth of information available due to Internet- and TV-possibilities causes more understanding between the people in the world; „a newly emerging global village“;  the subtle shift on the earth: increasing wealth and power of the Middle and Far East, financial crisis in America; through the international media and the emerging economic relationships we are moving into a safer time with less reasons for war; about the spiritual culture and peaceful vibrations in India and their still persistently violent human nature.

Premananda was born in Bangor (Wales) and started very early questioning life and the essence of life. After his studies – while staying in Japan – he learned about satsang and about Osho Rajneesh and in 1976 he found himself in the Ashram in Pune where instinctively he knew that his questions would be answered and where he remained for 15 years. After Osho's death Premananda went to Lucknow and after three weeks in the presence of Papaji he recognized "who he really was".

For five years he stayed in Papaj's sangha, and then he started giving satsang in Australia. Since 2003 Premananda has been touring many places in Europe, inviting people to satsang and conveying the essence of Advaita in public meetings, Intensive-Weekends and retreats, with the central question: "Who am I?"
