Sri Avinash Do, Spiritual Master

[anandamayi]

Hi fellow friends and seekers,

I would like to take this opportunity, to share about my Spiritual Master, Sri Avinash Do.

He was born in Vietnam in 1973, and immigrated to Australia as a refuge, escaping communist Vietnam, at age 8.

In his 20s he started spiritual seeking, and in his 30s he met his Spiritual Master, Amma (Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi - "The Hugging Saint").

He travelled with and served Amma (amongst the other thousands of devotees and disciples), and in 2009 at the age of 36, he attained enlightenment.

Soon after he felt a natural pull to come back to Australia, and start serving, with his passion to uplift, and help those who are seeking, to realize themself.

In 2011 he started teaching weekly classes in Sydney, Australia, and by 2013 he established his Ashram residence in Northern NSW Australia. 


Currently, Sri Avinash travels to various cities sharing his message of love and inner peace to the world.

His teaching and healing programs include Satsang and Darshan, Satori Transmission Workshop, and the live healing sessions and distance healing.

In essence, Sri Avinash teaches "kind and selfless living, with everyone you meet - starting with your own family, and then expanding that to the whole world. That is the greatest practice that a person can do.
That (selfless living), combined with meditation, to bring yourself to the present moment, to free yourself from the prison of all the conditioning, ideas and concepts; including spiritual ideas. The rest is just contemplating and cultivating a perfect attitude of sacrificing our life for the benefit of the world, and training towards the attitude that 'I am nothing, the world or God is everything'.
When these are done well, and done right, all happiness and beauty will automatically come to us.
Just these words alone, when sincerely contemplated, lived and applied in your life are enough - no other teachings are needed to attain the goal of enlightenment." - Sri Avinash

As a disciple, I have lived with Sri Avinash for 5 years, and it has changed me drastically in a beautiful way. There has been many difficulties during my spiritual training, together with unforgettable joys. I know that the experiences of everyone who lives with Sri Avinash, may be uniquely different to mine. But I can honestly say, it is such a great blessing for anyone to have an opportunity to live with Sri Avinash, and experience what enlightenment actually looks like, and thus benefit from that.

So I am sharing about Sri Avinash, so that if there is anyone in Australia seeking, or anywhere in the world who is seeking him, they can find out about him.

Thanks for bringing this bloke to my attention.
However, as Buddha said...

"Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." - Buddha

...of which i agree with Buddha's reasoning, thus i would not seek out your master if he says things like this...

"Stillness, emptiness and oneness. These are different words, but they mean the same thing. When you feel your heart's sweetness, and you feel love, know that is oneness." -Sri Avinash Do.

..for i wholly disagree those three all mean the same thing. For feeling your heart and love requires movement, the act of feeling, so that puts and end to 'stillness'...and if your heart has 'sweetness', then that puts and end to 'emptiness'...according to Sri Avinash Do's equation that 'stillness, emptiness and oneness' are all the same thing.

You may honestly believe this with all your heart, but that will not make it true for everyone when they hang with Guru Do...unless you somehow know the hearts and minds of every person currently alive and can already see everyone will benefit from hangin' out with him.

I think it's quite easy to romanticise about a person and thus perceive them as perfect or a pure being of light or in this case, believe they have achieved Enlightenment.
Simply dispense with critical thinking, reasoning, thinking things through and it will appear they utter nothing but profound wisdom.

Hi fellow friends and seekers,

In 2011 he started teaching weekly classes in Sydney, Australia, and by 2013 he established the Self-Realization Ashram in Northern NSW (near Byron Bay region), in Doon Doon.

Sri Avinash hosts weekly Satsangs at the Ashram, as well as other community events, and charitable service activities like feeding the homeless in a local town, Muruwllimbah.

In the early years of Sri Avinash's mission, he is available for people to meet him on-one-on, or to meet him at events. Going forward, the Ashram will build facilities to host guests at any time. The charitable mission will also expand to provide needed services.

So I am sharing about Sri Avinash, so that if there is anyone in Australia seeking, or anywhere in the world who is seeking him, they can find out about him.

He says that his teachings are a cross between Buddha's teachings (Meditation, mindfulness, present moment awareness) and Jesus's teachings (Selfless service, the path of love and compassion).

As a disciple, I have lived with Sri Avinash for 5 years, and it has changed me drastically in a beautiful way. There has been many difficulties during my spiritual training, together with unforgettable joys. I know that the experiences of everyone who lives with Sri Avinash, may be uniquely different to mine.
