Amir Mourad is an Egyptian mystic, yogi, and spiritual teacher. Having once faced depression spanning several years, an overwhelming fear of death, along with increasing awareness of the realities of human suffering, he began his inquiries into the nature of existence. Studying the different philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, as well as Western philosophy, he quickly discovered that the mere gathering of knowledge, philosophies, or belief systems is insufficient for human liberation, nor can there be happiness in the world without self-knowledge. Beginning the practice of yoga, he immediately became deeply absorbed into the discipline. After coming to a profound awakening and a series of inner transformations during a six-year period living as a hermit, he founded the Shunya Yoga system as an effort to unfold the full potential of a human being leading to self-realization, bliss, inner freedom, and total absorption into the gift of life.
Combining the ancient technology of yoga with the spirit of Zen, Shunya Yoga is a method which moves beyond one-sided belief systems and philosophies, and into a direct seeing of the inexpressible truth of one’s own being. With a blend of sensitivity and intensity, as well as compassionate wisdom, his work is an effort to assist social transformation through the transformation of consciousness at the level of the individual. Belonging to no particular tradition and addressing both individual and social concerns for modern times, his teachings have covered various areas including self-knowledge, meditation, enlightenment, death, morality, social transformation, the problem of attachment to knowledge, and doubt in the search for Truth. Amir presently teaches through discourses, programs, and satsangs in Montreal, Canada.
Amir Mourad talks about the development of dharana (concentration) in the science of yoga.
