Cesar Teruel – Satsangs – St. Petersburg  (July 20-31, 2011)This is a video documentation of a 10 day Satsang with Cesar Teruel. Cesar is a teacher of Advaita Vedanta/non-dualityCesar Teruel was born in Venezuela to a wealthy family in 1969 and was profoundly interested in spirituality since childhood.He had been leading a regular life that included working in the family business in Venezuela and having a wife and children when in 1998 he felt that he must pursue his spiritual inquiry and decided to leave his wife and children and embark on a spiritual trip to India. There he met Sathya Sai Baba who sent him to Ramanaashramam – the Ashram of Ramana Maharshi in Tiruvannamalai. According to his account, there, in front of the statue of Ramana Maharshi, he experienced a deep and spontaneous shift in consciousness.A few months later, returning to the ashram of Sathya Sai Baba, Caesar met Sri Ratan Lal, a devotee of Sathya Sai Baba, and decided to stay with him and follow him as his teacher.Sri Ratan Lal became his mentor and during this period with him, Sri Ratan Lal used to test and work on Cesar’s ego and pride. As for example, he used to call him “stupid” and instruct him to rub his feet for hours.According to Cesar, Sri Ratan Lal guided him to regain the same experience that he had in Ramana Maharshi Ashram through the question “Who am I?” or Self Enquiry. He says that after that his old sense of self based on identity with the body and the mind or personality vanished and he established his Self in his true nature, Consciousness.He says that since then his sense of individuality gradually melted away until its ultimate extinction.Since July 2005, after his teacher passed away, following his teacher’s request, Cesar has been conducting public Satsang six days a week in south India, both in Puttaparthy and Tiruvannamalai. He also travels to Europe and conducts satsangs there, mainly in East Europe.In his satsangs, he shares his experience and knowledge with other seekers of truth, helping them to realize their true Self.Cesar does not charge for attending his satsangs but strictly lives on donations only.He does not belong to any religion and is not associated with any spiritual organization.Group VKontakte http://vkontakte.ru/cesarteruelofficial. the site of Caesar http://www.cesarteruel.com/eng/index.htmRussian site http://www.cesarnet.ruEnglish, Russian | July 2011 | AVI | 720 x 480 | 780 kbps | 25 fps | MP3 128 kbps 44KHz | Each Session Approx 2 hrs
