About Sri Ashish
Sri Ashish is a modern-day teacher rooted in the timeless truth of Self-Realization. With a quiet clarity and deep stillness, he guides seekers inward — not toward belief or effort, but into a direct seeing of what is.
His teachings emphasize Right Understanding, Right Practice, and Right Experience — a Three-Fold Path for inner alignment and lasting peace. Free from dogma or spiritual theatrics, his approach is intimate, experiential, and deeply transformative.
Through retreats, dialogues, and silent sitting, Sri Ashish invites each one to come home to the simplicity of Being.
His mantra: “Sit in Silence. Question deeply. Surrender fully!”
“Right understanding does not add anything — it removes the confusion that was never real.”
Sri Ashish’s Core Teachings
You Are Not the Body or Mind
The body, thoughts, and emotions are temporary expressions. Your true nature is the formless, unchanging awareness that witnesses them.
“I AM” is the Bridge
The pure sense of “I AM” is the doorway between illusion and Truth. Abide in it—not as an identity, but as presence—and it will dissolve into the Reality beyond.
Silence is the Highest Teaching
Real understanding arises in deep stillness. Silence is not just absence of noise, but the natural state of the Self, where Truth reveals itself effortlessly.
Right Understanding, Right Practice, Right Experience
The Three-Fold Path is not a method to gain something, but a process of shedding false identifications:
- Right Understanding clears illusion.
- Right Practice stabilizes awareness.
- Right Experience reveals unity and transcendence.
The Doer is an Illusion
There is no individual acting. Life unfolds naturally. Let go of the notion of an ego that claims to doership, and action becomes spontaneous, pure, and free of karma.
Nothing Needs to Be Attained
Realization is not about reaching something new. It is the uncovering of what you already are—ever-present, ever-free.
Karma Ends with Identification
Karma binds only when you identify with the notion or idea of an individual ego. When you recognize your Self as pure awareness, karma loses its grip.
God, Self, and Awareness Are One
The Self that the Advaitin (one who follows the philosophy of non-dualism) inquires into is the same God that the devotee surrenders to. Bhakti (devotion) and inquiry are not separate—they converge in realization.
Transcend Even “I AM”
The “I AM” is pure conscious awareness, but even this is not the final truth. The ultimate Reality lies beyond even the subtlest sense of dualistic being—absolute, formless, silent.
Truth Is Ever-Present, Here and Now
You do not need to go anywhere. Just stop seeking outwardly, turn inward, and be still. The Truth is already what you are.
Poems By Sri Ashish
In silence deep, the journey starts,
A whisper stirs within our hearts.
The path is three, yet truly One,
A way back home, where all is done.
Right Understanding clears the night,
Dispelling shadows, bringing light.
It shows the truth beyond the veil,
Where names and forms begin to pale.
Through Right Practice, we start to see,
The Self that binds, then sets us free.
With non-attachment, we let go,
And feel the quiet currents flow.
Then comes Right Experience, pure and clear,
The end of seeking, the end of fear.
A timeless state, beyond all thought,
Where peace and joy cannot be sought.
Thus, in the stillness, we arrive,
Awake, aware, fully alive.
The Three-Fold Path, so wise and true,
Leads us back to what we knew.
A journey deep, a simple way,
To know ourselves as light and clay.
In each step taken, truth revealed,
The Self remembered, whole, and healed.
गहन मौन में यात्रा आरंभ,
हृदय में उठती हल्की सरगम।
पथ है तीन, पर एक ही धारा,
वापस घर को ले चले हमारा।
सही समझ मिटाए अंधकार,
प्रकाश में लाए सत्य अपार।
जहां नाम-रूप सब फीके पड़ें,
वास्तविकता के परदे हटें।
सही अभ्यास दिखाए राह,
बंधनों से मुक्ति की चाह।
त्याग से जब बंधन टूटें,
शांत धारा में हम झूमें।
सही अनुभव देता दृष्टि,
भय मिटे, और खत्म हो वृष्टि।
अविचल अवस्था, विचारों से परे,
शांति और आनंद जहां बसे।
मौन की गहराई में पहुंचे हम,
जागृत, सजग, और पूर्णतम।
त्रिगुण पथ, सच्चा और सरल,
ले जाए हमें उस सत्य अटल।
यह यात्रा गहन, पर मार्ग सहज,
प्रकाश और मिट्टी का है वरण।
हर कदम पर सत्य प्रकट हो,
पूर्ण स्मृति से आत्मा जोड़े।
