About the Author

SWAMI DHYAN GITEN, spiritual teacher and best-selling author, has more than 30 years of experience in individual counseling and in teaching awareness and meditation. He has been speaking and teaching about the inner silence and how to reach it through love, joy, meditation, awareness, relationships and creativity. Swami Dhyan Giten has dedicated his life to teaching the art of awareness and meditation. He conducts individual consultations, satsang and courses internationally. His quotes, articles and books have touched the hearts of thousands and are appearing with increasing frequency in magazines, blogs and websites. He is trained in modern psychology at the University of Stockholm, where the head teacher at the psychological institution called Giten "the salt of the earth", and a classmate said that Giten "did not move an inch from who he is". He is also trained in classic Eastern methods for awareness and meditation in the USA, Italy, Sweden and India. In 1982, when Giten was 23 years old, he was directed by the Divine presence in a trance session with the American trance chancellor Lin David Martin: "You have listened to your intuition, to your true inner voice, more than most. You have been searching for the contact with the Spirit for a long time and now it is beginning to manifest on the outer plane. You have been gifted many times in previous embodiments and now everything will come rather easy for you. I want you to put your energy into the lives of others, because you can." A spiritual teacher, who has counseled thousands of people, told Giten in 1984: "You will dissolve into the silence. All the earlier enlightened Masters and all the small Deva'sare just here to help you to get enlightened." In satsang, Giten has talked about a variety of topics of concern for the modern man during satsang for example love, joy, relationships, acceptance, understanding, intuition, healing, trust, creativity, friendship, spiritual growth, evolution, society, life, meditation, silence, spirituality, mysticism, psychology, truth, wisdom, death, unity with life, God and enlightenment. He has also talked about a number of spiritual teachers and traditions such as Vedanta, Yoga, Tantra, Veda, Upanishads, Ayurveda, the chakra system, Tao and Buddha.
