About this event

Join us for an opportunity to be in the saintly presence of His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda, a Himalayan siddha monk and the spiritual founder of the US Nonprofit, Self Enquiry Life Fellowship.

His Holiness will be in London for a week-long visit on His return to the USA from India and will join us for fellowships of divine blessings, words of wisdom, and Sanskrit chanting.

These London Fellowships are a rare opportunity for an up-close experience with an erudite saint who hails from lineages of the combined heritage of Vedic rishi sages and nath meditation adepts from Himalaya. You can learn more about His Holiness’ background here.

A wholesome vegetarian snack will be served following the group blessing (individual blessing lines will not be feasible) at each of the Fellowships.

Helpful Tips for Attendees

Attending a Fellowship with a traditional monk and a living saint may be a new experience for many. Below are a few helpful guidelines about what to expect.

  • Arrive early to check-in and get situated before His Holiness is seated.
  • Kindly note that your presence creates a holy space and not just a social gathering. Kindly maintain reverential silence when possible, in order to foster a meditative environment. If speaking is needed, speak quietly.
  • Remove shoes before entering the fellowship space.
  • Floor seating may be available in the front of the hall as is the tradition of a Fellowship. You may bring a small cushion if you would like, but this is not necessary. Chair seating will also be available.
  • Kindly wear modest attire befitting the spiritual ambience.
