About Bob Nickel

Satsang with Bob Nickel is a great opportunity. Bob is someone who points to the pure truth of Awakening in a simple and clear way.

One of the recent attendees at Bob's satsang wrote, "I was deeply moved by Bob’s blissful presence as well as the clear insight he is able to share with everyone into the deeper truths of life and ourselves. I could feel that Bob speaks from his own personal experience, those same truths shared through the ages by many of the great sages." Bob has been freely sharing in the non-dual Advaita tradition since 2004.

He experienced the first of many important spiritual experiences at the age of nineteen. These experiences were important in what could be called Bob's path. However, in recent years Bob has seen things more clearly. It has become clear to Bob that all experiences, which by nature come and go, are impermanent. They are transitory, and therefore have nothing whatsoever to do with the Truth that one essentially Is.

His satsang are dedicated solely to making Ramana Maharshi’s invitation to Self-Inquiry available to everyone. This invitation is a direct and immediate means to Self Knowledge. It is a call to simply abide effortlessly as That which one is, right here and right now.

Bob has been traveling back and forth between India and the U.S. since 1999. In recent years during the fall and winter months he lived at the foot of the holy mountain, Arunachala, near the ashram of Sri Ramana Maharshi. He has been traveling the rest of the year holding satsang where invited to do so.

Regarding Bob and cancer, when he left for India in late April, 2011, his doctors said he was cancer-free. That has changed. Upon his return to the USA the physicians had a much different diagnosis. In early September his physicians confirmed the return of his cancer and gave him about six months. As this is written in March 2011 Bob has already surpassed that time limit.

Rather than just rest, Bob’s desire is to spend his final days sharing Ramana Maharshi's Invitation to Self Inquiry to all who wish to hear it. Certainly, for satsang with Bob, NOW truly is the time.

Each satsang starts with a silent meditation, followed by a short talk, and then by questions and answers. At the end there is another short silent meditation.
