Dear friends,

I am writing to offer you an extraordinary invitation to be in the presence of a great holy man of our time, Sri Tathata. I was fortunate to have attended his Mahayaga – with more than one million people! – in India in February.

Sri Tathata is an instrument of the Divine Will who has been preparing over many lifetimes to help humanity at this moment when our evolution demands a profound transformation. His mission is to break the shield of darkness covering human consciousness today and kindle the light of Dharma in all aspects of life. He has come to harmonize the troubled energies of Nature, to prompt the evolution of human consciousness, and to establish Divine life on Earth.

You will have a chance to experience the light of Sri Tathata during his historic first visit to New York at a free event:

The Spirituality and Mind-Body Institute, Teachers College, Columbia University
