A New Bhagavad Gita for a World on the Brink – Shunyamurti Unveils The New Gita

In this opening teaching from our annual Rainy Season Retreat, Shunyamurti presents the radical path to liberation described by Ramana Maharshi, Huang Po, and other great sages across spiritual traditions: the dissolution of the ego and the transcendence of thought itself. The separate self is a structure of concepts, beliefs, desires, and fears that obscures the infinite consciousness already present. Through love of God, surrender, and profound inner stillness, the mind becomes empty of its habitual chatter, and the heart opens to the fullness of divine bliss. The goal is not to accumulate more spiritual knowledge or become enlightened but to let go of the one who seeks awakening. What remains is pure presence, Sat Chit Ananda, and the spontaneous expression of divine beauty and truth in every aspect of life.

Drawing on the mystical vision of the Sufi sage Suhrawardi, Shunyamurti explores a progression from the City of Darkness and degraded egoic desire, through self-reproach, divine love, spiritual discipline, prayer and samadhi, and finally to fanā: the annihilation of the ego and the complete dissolution of separation from God.

What does it mean to truly give yourself to God? In this powerful teaching, Shunyamurti explores the radical shift from a profane to a sacred way of living, where the ego’s desires, judgments, and false sense of agency give way to love, surrender, and divine intelligence.

When we dive all the way into the ultimate essence of the timeless teachings of nonduality, everything dissolves into pure self-luminous Presence. The plane of thought and language is surpassed, along with all projections into the hologram. The Inconceivable is here now.
