2) Q: How do you know the Surya Program works?
A: The proof is in the pudding. We’re constantly getting comments from those outside the Surya Program about how wonderful our people are. This includes students’ friends, psychologists, and several Ayurvedic doctors.
3) Q: What makes the Surya Meditation different from others?
A: The Surya Meditation does not impose any form of mind control. Most other meditations teach you to focus, push out thoughts, etc. In contrast, the Surya Meditation is effortless and natural. Learn more about Surya Meditation.
4) Q: What’s the value of meditating in a group?
A: Recent studies show the profoundly positive effect people have on the world when they radiate coherence. This is done through meditation and particularly group meditation, where the influence becomes exponentially more powerful. Such meditation also facilitates the evolution of the meditator. This is the double benefit of attending Surya Ram Meditation retreats.
5) Q: How do I distinguish this from pop-psych or spiritual weird things?
A: What is taught makes good, down-to-earth sense. This holds true from any angle (for example, physics, psychology, biology, sociology, monotheism, and polytheism). This is evidence of universal truth.
The whole is much more than the sum of its parts. If you try to reduce it down to one part, it gets distorted and confused. At first, many approaches are appealing because they are neat, tidy, and provide an apparent quick-fix for life and spirituality. Yet, they break down over time.
6) Q: What is the difference between the Surya Program and psychotherapy or self-help programs?
A: This approach does not impose models, thoughts, feelings, or behaviors upon you. It frees your inner perfection to permeate all aspects of your life.
7) Q: How do I find my dharma or life’s work?
A: Finding your dharma (life’s work or purpose) is a process taught in the Surya Program which allows you to live from the depth of your soul. Usually, what people think is their dharma comes from conditioning. You can’t really figure out your dharma; you feel your way through life.
8) Q: How can you help me with relationships?
A: The key to relationship is to understand the other person as well as yourself. This includes understanding the interface between the personality and divinity that dwells within every individual. The Surya Program provides this understanding, enabling you to explore your relationship with another and respond from a place of wisdom.
9) Q: What if I want to make a difference in my field?
A: Whatever your field, your understanding increases as it is more fully understood in the context of the whole. Paradigms shift, stagnation melts away. Entirely new connections between fields are revealed, resulting in revolutionary new discoveries.
10) Q: What if I want to help the world?
A: Ancient wisdom states that the best way to help the world is to evolve yourself. As you evolve, you naturally radiate deeper values of harmony, coherence, and divinity throughout your environment. The Surya Program is designed to help you do that.
When a group of people create coherence, such as in Surya Ram Meditation retreats and living/taking courses at Mount Soma, the power of such coherence increases exponentially. This, especially over time, can profoundly affect the world.
11) Q: What if I want to make more money?
A: The best way to make money is to clear away the cobwebs in your life so that you can manifest who you truly are. There is no better way to do that than the Surya Program.
12) Q: How can I be more creative?
A: As you become more in touch with your true nature, you become spontaneously creative. This is exactly what the Surya Program provides.
13) Q: Can you help me with my health?
A: The Surya Program awakens you to your blueprint for health at the depth of your being. True healing doesn’t impose anything. It just frees the natural intelligence that is the innate source of health and healing in one’s psychology and physiology.
14) Q: How can I be sure this isn’t a cult?
A: Cults condition or program people to think and behave a particular way. The Surya Program helps free people from such conditioning so they can naturally rest into their true nature. In Surya, people are encouraged to ask questions and understand life from within themselves.
Cult communities wall themselves off from the outside world. Mount Soma is open to everyone. It has residents and visitors who are not affiliated with the Surya Program. In addition, local professionals and consultants have been utilized throughout the development of Mount Soma.
15) Q: What makes Mount Soma different than other communities?
A: First, Vastu design. Just as spending time in nature clears the mind and eases stress, utilizing Vastu design brings this inherent balance of nature to the buildings. Second, it’s a place people can visit or live that supports their natural growth and speeds up their spiritual evolution. Third, it will contain Somanath Temple, built and functioning in strict adherence to Vedic technology (something rarely found, even in India).
16) Q: I want to feel fulfilled. Can you help me?
A: The source of fulfillment is at the depth of your being. The Surya Program provides the tools to find fulfillment which then permeates all levels of life.
17) Q: How can I be more connected to the Source?
A: Everyone is eternally connected to the Source, but there are many distractions – belief systems, philosophies, convictions, emotional issues, habits, etc. As these distractions unravel, you come to live from your true nature which is exquisite.
