SUMMARY:Full Moon Havan at TMC (Fire Ceremony) and Global Full Moon Meditation - August 19\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:“August Full Moon Havan”\nTMC’s Back Yard with Emilio Betagglio\nAugust 19\, 2024\n6:30—8:45 p.m\n\n	\n\n\n6:30-7:30 p.m. – Havan (Fire Ceremony)\n7:30-8:45 p.m. – Soup and Socializing\n9:00-10:00 p.m. – Global Full Moon Meditation\n\n	\n\n\nThe fire havan is an in-person only event. It will not be zoomed. \nThe dried twigs brought to TMC on Guru Purnima  will be offered to the fire tonight. \nYou can still bring a bundle of sticks tonight\, the evening of the havan. \nSome etiquette: The havan kunda\, fire pit\, is the shrine for the fire deity Agni and needs to be approached as such; having freshly cleansed\, with an open heart and mind\, and wearing clean clothes; no shoes close to the havan kunda. All offerings are made with the right hand and with a loving attitude of letting go and from the heart. Once seated for the ceremony\, it’s important to remain there until the conclusion. \nA Quote from Swami Rama \n“Best student is he who takes from the teacher—not he who gives. The scripture also tells you what you should give to your teacher. It is never said that you should give a large check\, your entire bank balance. No! You give dry twigs—a bundle of dry twigs to your teacher. That’s the symbol that “I have nothing to give you. You don’t need anything for yourself. I know I cannot do anything for you. These dry twigs represent my karmas. There are some samskaras which are very hard on me\, trouble me\, torture me. Will you please burn them?” Has he got power to do this? Yes. But it’s not his power. He uses the power of the tradition to help the student. It’s not his power.” \n  \nThese twigs are offered as food for Agni who will\, on behalf of the Lineage and the Guru force\, burn them and transmute what they represent into prayers. \nIn case you have not brought twigs to TMC and are interested in participating tonight\, there is still time to bring them. Drop them off at TMC today or in person this evening Prior to offering them\, Swami Radha will bless the twig bundles. \nMantras for the Havan (Fire Ceremony) \n21 recitations Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha \n108 recitations of Akhanda Mandala \n21 recitations of Saumya Taraa \n21 recitations Maha Mrityunjaya \n1 recitation of Purna Ahuti \nMantras available for print here. \nGlobal Full Moon Meditation\nMonday\, August 19\, 2024\nIn Person Viewing at TMC and Via Zoom\n9:00-10:00 p.m. CDT\nThis Global Full Moon Meditation will begin guided by Swami Radha Bharati flowing into a silent meditation until 10:00 p.m. \n
