Publisher of the OM Foundation Inner Science

The vision of the OM Foundation Inner Science is to preserve the eternal wisdom teachings and make them accessible to spiritual seekers. The study of the Eternal Philosophy as a holistic path of experience is at the center of this mediation. All initiatives that operate under the umbrella of the OM Foundation Inner Science offer a searching person the opportunity to walk an integral path of self-development, on which body, soul and spirit, the three levels of being, find a natural, healing order.

Our publishing house for selected spiritual literature is closely linked to the foundation and its vision and inspired by it. The importance of studying wisdom texts, which originate from the source itself and are therefore timeless and always valid, is emphasized in all spiritual traditions. The foundation’s field includes the Gut Saunstorf Monastery – Place of Silence, which serves students of wisdom texts with a variety of courses to transform mental knowledge into integral living (heart) knowledge.

In our carefully selected range of wisdom literature by spiritual authors from different times, cultures and traditions, you will find the right literature for your studies to accompany you on your inner path.

Swami Dharma Sumiran
The expression of eternal truths is not a frozen concept; in every century it changes according to the zeitgeist. Therefore, spiritual literature is a constantly changing and renewing stream that reflects a particular culture and time.

Bookstore in the Gut Saunstorf Monastery

We are delighted to present and offer you an exceptional assortment of wisdom texts from advaitaMedia Verlag in our bookshop at Kloster Gut Saunstorf – Place of Silence. Here in the modern monastery, this collection is integrated into the living teachings.

The core mission of the publishing house is the pearls of wisdom literature. We publish writings by older and contemporary teachers and masters, especially the publications of the awakened master OM C. Parkin. Furthermore, we offer a rich, comprehensive, and exclusive selection that, from the perspective of spiritual masters and teachers from different eras, cultures, and traditions, can open up a deepened and expanded view on the meaning of our human existence and provide access to the innermost self.

In addition to the publishing house’s own books, the monastery bookstore also offers a larger selection of antiquarian books, as well as books on topics such as psychology, inner child, healing, and selected poetry and prose from other publishers. Furthermore, we have set up a small annex in the Buddha House, opposite the monastery, which is freely accessible to the public and where you can linger in the adjoining café.

Our authors

At this point, we would like to express our great appreciation to the authors of our publishing house. With their knowledge and wisdom, they have nourished the stream of the Eternal Philosophy, which runs through all times and continents. Forms and contents may differ according to the different times and partly opposing cultures, but the inner core, the essence, the message is always the same: Whether in India with Shankara in the 8th century, in the Middle East in the 11th century with Ibn Arabi, with Ramana Maharshi and Sri Poonjaji, as well as G. I. Gurdjieff in the 19th and 20th centuries, or in the 21st century in Central Europe with OM C. Parkin or Arnaud Desjardins, in America with Lee Lozowick or Adyashanti and with Swami Dharma Sumiran in Russia.

But not only the great teachers and masters would we like to thank from the bottom of our hearts for the great gift that they have made and continue to make to us with their knowledge and wisdom. Our thanks also go to their “master students”, who received the mostly orally transmitted teaching, wrote it down and thus made it accessible to many people. These include, for example, the Gurdjieff student Ouspensky or Regina Sara Ryan, who in her vividly described experiences also makes her teacher Lee Lozowick visible.

With their contributions, our authors not only render an invaluable service to the publishing house advaitaMedia, but also, far beyond that, keep alive the timeless wisdom teaching, which in this age of rational flattening no longer enjoys general appreciation.

Gespräche des Vierten Weges – Philosophie des Werdens & Philosophie des Seins

Kloster Gut Saunstorf & Online via Zoom
18. December 2025, 20:00 Uhr
Bin ich die Wogen, bin ich der Tropfen, bin ich der Ozean? Spirituelle Schulen und innere Traditionen scheinen etwas anderes zu lehren. Wenn es nur EINE Realität, nur EINE Wahrheit gibt, dann können sich die verschiedenen spirituellen Wege und inneren Schulen zwar in ihrer Annäherung an das EINE grundlegend unterscheiden, müssten jedoch zur selben Erkenntnis gelangen. Werden wir jedoch Zeuge einer unversöhnlichen Auseinandersetzung zwischen Lehrern, Schulen, oder Religionen über die EINE Wahrheit, so müssen wir davon ausgehen, dass mindestens einer der beiden Kontrahenten lediglich über beschränkte Erkenntnis verfügt. Anmerkungen zur Großen Ordnung der Ewigen Philosophie und ihren zwei Strömen.

Erwachen aus dem Schlaf - Gespräche mit OM C. Parkin

Kloster Gut Saunstorf & Online via Zoom
6. January 2026, 20:30 Uhr
Anlässlich der Wiederauflage und Neuerscheinung des advaitaJournals im Oktober 2025 liest OM Zitate aus seinem Artikel „Erwachen aus dem Schlaf“ und kommentiert diese. OM spricht darüber, was Erwachen in Wirklichkeit ist, und beschreibt direkt und kompromisslos, mit welchen Hindernissen ein ernsthaft suchender Mensch auf dem Erwachensweg konfrontiert ist. Er blättert an diesem Abend auf, was in seiner Veröffentlichung in sehr verdichteter Form mitgeteilt wird, und öffnet den Raum für ein tieferes Verständnis für das zentrale Anliegen des spirituellen Weges.
