ISHA: The Isha System

She is considered an "ambassador for peace" by international leaders of opinion. Her conferences and seminars are increasingly sought after throughout the world. Isha imposes no political opinions, dogmas or intellectual concepts, yet she is viewed as a modern day visionary, receiving invitations to speak in international forums, high security prisons, with senators, ex guerilla soldiers, bishops and jet setters. What is it about her message that reaches beyond all differences, moving so many irrespective of their nationality, age or creed?

Isha talks about consciousness. She says that it is our essence, who we truly are. She says that consciousness is love: a love that is unconditional, different from all the kinds of "love" we are accustomed to, and that this love is within ourselves.

"There is nothing more fulfilling than unconditional love of self, and when we experience it, we can extend that love to every aspect of creation. When we love ourselves unconditionally, all fear disappears, and we experience union with everything. This isn't a subtle experience; it's absolute. It is the greatest thing that can happen to any human."
