Our Mission

In the Heart of Silence is devoted to sharing the teaching and transmission of Truth and Love of Ramana Maharshi as it moves through Devaji.  We welcome those who are committed to recognizing their inherent, essential nature as Love itself. 

Our Ministers, Board of Directors, staff, and many dedicated volunteers work together to bring forth these teachings through in-person and online retreats, publications, media and newsletters.

Our Core Values

Freedom
The Supreme Essence of the Self. It is everything. Our collective reverence for this infuses all that is offered here.

Happiness
Happiness is our true identity, inherent in all action. It is the foundation of all of our work together.

Self-Discovery (or Spiritual Awakening)
Realization and embodiment of One Love and One Truth is the heart of our community. We turn to this unceasingly.

Transparency
We honor vulnerability, humility and authenticity: first in relationship to ourselves and extending to our communication with others.

Care
We recognize that care is the natural movement of the heart. As self and other are one, care given is care received.

Inclusiveness
We welcome and include all beings who hunger for the embrace of true love. We hold an openhearted recognition of each being’s path in imbibing these teachings. The love for all remains wherever their journey may lead.

Selfless Service
We offer our gifts and talents freely. Our service (our seva) is to the Truth beyond any need for outcome. Our most essential seva is our commitment to self-discovery.

Equanimity
We recognize that reactivity can occur in our relationships. Our humble ongoing intention is for the inner stability of Love to inform our actions and interactions.

Gratitude
This is the natural byproduct of living in what is Real. We savor gratitude as a clear expression of the heart of the Self, regardless of what experience arises.
