Spiritual Leader

OM C. Parkin

«If I summarized the spiritual teaching in a single book, its title would be: A Life without ‘I’ .»

OM C. Parkin

OM C. Parkin is the initiator and founder of the modern monastery. He teaches at Gut Saunstorf. OM is wisdom teacher, mystic and inner scientist.

As a spiritual master of the silent tradition, OM knows how to unite the Western and Eastern streams of wisdom teaching. The radicalism of his making these teachings accessible and serving the awakening path of the human being is a rare treasure in the present time. The encounter with OM deeply questions what you are not and makes you fall into what you have always been.

OM shares his realisation of the Absolute in talks on Being (Darshan) and in Inner Work, as well as an author and in lectures. 

OM embodies in his work the link between Eastern non-duality and Christian mysticism, of depth psychology and philosophy, beyond the limits of religions and confessions. In the course of this, he often refers to the tradition of Advaita, which has been revived in the 20th century by Shri Ramana Maharshi, Shri H.W.L. Poonja, the American Gangaji and others (neo-Advaita). OM acts in the tradition of these teachers and by being rooted in early Christian teaching. His work in the tradition of silence can be described by three functions: teacher (of wisdom), healer (of the soul), seer (of the heart).
