Wisdom from Stillness
Specialist Publisher for Wisdom Literature
advaitaMedia Verlag
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.
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.
