SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: "Morning Prayers in The Himalayan Tradition" with Michael Smith - September 6\, 2018
DESCRIPTION: Thursday Satsang  on September 6\, 2018\n\n“Morning Prayers in The Himalayan Tradition”\n\n\nwith Michael Smith\n\n\n  \n\nEach morning\, around the world\, students in the Himalayan Yoga Tradition recite seven prayers: three “Prayers to the Guru\,” the “Peace Prayer\,” Shankara’s “Prayer at Dawn\,” the “Prayer of Harmony\,” and the “Prayer of Completion.”\n\nThese prayers are not only beautiful in terms of the sound of the words and their melodies but are profound philosophical dissertations about the nature of reality which\, when contemplated upon\, can orient one’s day and give a solid perspective and solace in the face of social turmoil.\n\nThese prayers have incredible depth to them. Swami Veda has given lectures on them\, and both Stoma Parker and Jan Brzezinski (Sri Jagadananda Das) have given word-for-word translations of them. Each word in these prayers\, Swami Veda said\, is a little “idea capsule.”\n\nThis Thursday\, Michael Smith will go through these translations\, word-for-word with hand-outs\, and share his personal contemplations about them over the last 45 years.\nBy listening to this presentation about the “Morning Prayers” new understandings will come\, and your morning recitations – and your sadhana – will be greatly enriched.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6:00pm Hatha Yoga\n7:00pm Meditation guided by Michael Smith\n7:30pm Presentation by Michael Smith\n8:30pm Soup\n9:00pm Prayers and Meditation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll are welcome! Come for the entire evening\, or join at any time. There is no need to make reservations. Simply show up and enjoy yourself!\nWeekly Format:\n6:00 – 7:00: Hatha Yoga for Everyone!

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: "The Transformative Power of Silence" with Jim Nelson - September 13\, 2018
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang on September 13\, 2018\n“The Transformative Power of Silence”\nwith Jim Nelson\nSilence is the greatest communication.  It is the language which transcends the static of our minds and allows us to experience the true Self beyond the limitations of mind.  Being in communion\, in unity with that Self brings peace\, joy\, and love unencumbered by our ideas of peace\, joy\, and love.  In the fullness of Self\, our cravings\, fruitless seeking\, and loneliness end.  Our exhausting journey in the desert of the senses is satiated and questions and desires naturally abate.  Silence is like a “short cut” between two non-points\, a direct route to our Center—where we come home to pure Being.  Psychologist Jim Nelson will lead a short Swami Veda meditation\, which progressively brings the meditator into subtler realms of silence.  The session will be interactive\, contemplative\, and include research proven benefits of Silence\, and personal stories from people who recently attended the Silence retreat at Dunrovin. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n6:00pm Hatha Yoga\n7:00pm Meditation guided by Jim Nelson\n7:30pm Presentation by Jim Nelson\n8:30pm Soup\n9:00pm Prayers and Meditation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll are welcome!

DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang: September 27\, 2018\n“Treasured Echoes”\nFestival of An Archive of Dr. Arya’s Audios with Swami Radha Bharati and Eric Ness\n\n“Four Ashramas of Life – First Stage of Being a Student”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis presentation will review a lecture that Swami Veda gave in the very early days of the Meditation Center. \n\n\nYoga philosophy promotes a balanced and practical approach to spirituality. It guides the seeker to pursue different activities at each stage of their life. This Thursday we will hear a lecture from Swami Veda on the first stage of life – being a student. You’ll discover how a spiritual orientation during youth translates into both spiritual and material success later in life.\n[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=””]\n\n\nEric has been teaching meditation and yoga for over ten years. His teaching is based on the experiences that he had while immersed in a meditative environment. He deepened his study of meditation while participating in the residential program at the Meditation Center. He also trained for three years at the Swami Rama Institute for Meditation in India. His calm teaching style brings students the tools they need to move toward a peaceful state of mind. \nSwami Ma Radha Bharati earned an M.A. in philosophy and commenced doctoral studies in Eastern and Western philosophy with emphasis on views of the self and mind. She has taught philosophy at a number of schools including the University of Hawaii. She received a fellowship from the Humphrey Institute in Public Policy. Swami Ma Radha was initiated by H.H.
