Learn to Meditate with Arvind

When you sign up for your first meditation class, you’ll begin a 3-month free trial period where you can register for and take as many classes as you like with any of our teachers. For each class, you’ll also receive an email confirmation with a short bio of your teacher & add-to-calendar link.

A meditation class includes a short talk, an introduction to our meditation technique, time to practice, and sometimes a Q&A. Sessions last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the teacher. During the talk, the teacher shares spiritual wisdom through personal insights and experiences.

No prior experience is necessary. Simply bring an open mind and open heart. While no special equipment is required, wearing loose, comfortable clothing can be helpful. If joining remotely, find a quiet, peaceful space where you can sit comfortably for about an hour without distractions.

At the end of your introductory period, you’ll have the option to join the Mandala of Light as a Contributor member where you’ll continue to have access to weekly meditation classes as well as monthly community Satsangs (spiritual gatherings) & additional courses to deepen your practice.

The main meditation technique we practice and teach is chakra meditation. Chakras are energy centers in the body that correspond to different aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Our teachings are rooted in Buddhism but draw from multiple wisdom traditions, including Zen, Vajrayana, Hinduism, Taoism, Advaita, and Sufism. We call it Experiential Buddhism, emphasizing direct experience, meditation, and practical application.

All teachers are ordained community members with years of dedicated practice in meditation, mindfulness, and spiritual growth. As empowered teachers in the Mandala of Light, they have undergone specialized training and follow the Association for Spiritual Integrity (ASI) standards.
