SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang Via Zoom and In-Person Viewing at TMC: “- Yoga  and Sufism" with Gary Gran CYT\, DAy - March 27\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang Via Zoom and In-Person Viewing at TMC – March 27\, 2025\n” Yoga and Sufism” with Gary Gran CYT\, DAy\n7:00-8:30 p.m. CST\nEveryone is Welcome!\n  \n5:30-6:45 p.m.: Gentle Hatha Yoga  with Michael Snodgrass\n7:00-7:30 p.m. Guided Meditation Swami Ma Radha Bharati\n7:30-8:30 p.m.: “Yoga and Sufism”  with Gary Gran\n8:30 p.m.: Evening Prayers \n\n	\n\n\nPlease join us for an evening of Sufi stories\, jokes\, poetry\, prayers\, history\, inspiration\, and meditation! \nYoga and Sufism have much in common. They can be practiced in a religious context\, but they are not religions. They can be described as two of the ‘unifying streams in religion’\, representing the philosophy\, art and science of pure spirituality. They are methods of practice\, or pathways that point us to the inner experience of unity\, truth\, love\, and harmony with all that is. \nEven though Sufism has been described as the mystical teachings of Islam\, its roots began long before the advent of Islam. Sufism contains elements from Hellenistic\, Hermetic\, Christian\, Jewish\, Arab\, Turkish\, Persian\, and Indian sources. It is a beautiful expression of the Perennial Wisdom that can be traced in all the spiritual traditions of the world. \n“If anybody asks you\, ‘What is Sufism?’ … you may answer: ‘Sufism is the religion of the heart\, the religion in which the most important thing is to seek God in the heart of humanity.’  \n~Hazrat Inayat Khan~ \n\n	\n\nBoth Swami Rama and Swami Veda stressed the universality of world’s spiritual traditions. They taught the importance of understanding various traditions\, their basic philosophies and their practices. \n“Knowledge of various paths leads you to form your own conviction. The more you know\, the more you decide to learn. When you have sharpened the faculty of discrimination\, you firmly tread your path without any doubts.” \n      ~Swami Rama~ \n“Living With the Himalayan Masters” \n“A qualified preceptor in the Himalayan tradition… should be able to see the association between the Himalayan Tradition and other paths\, such as those of the Sufis\, the Tao\, Ch’an\, Zen\, theraveda\, Tibetan\, Christian and others – together with their basic texts and historical backgrounds.” \n      ~Swami Veda Bharati ~ \n“The Himalayan Tradition of Yoga Meditation” \n\n	\n\nPlease join us as we contemplate the beauty of the Sufi teachings. \nAll are welcome. \nGary Gran\, CYT\, DAy. was in attendance at the 1985 workshop and will be sharing theteachings from his personal notes. He and his wife Cynthia have been treading the Himalayan path since the late 1970s. They met at the old Glenview Center in Illinois and have served the tradition in various capacities over the years. They are both certified yoga teachers and Ayurvedic educators. They have published more than eighty articles on yoga\, meditation and Ayurveda. They are currently wintering in Tucson\, Arizona where they enjoy desert gardening\, cooking and hiking. \n\n	\n\n\nTo support the work of The Meditation Center and register you can donate here or  make a general donation by clicking on the “donate” button on the “Support TMC” website page. \nOr donate through PayPal. \nThere is parking available for TMC visitors in the St. Boniface lot across the street from the Center.
