SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang via Zoom: Spiritually Inspiring Stories from the Himalayan Tradition - An Evening with Swami Radha Bharati and Michael Smith - July 9\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang via Zoom:\nJuly 9\, 2020\nAn Evening with Swami Radha Bharati and Michael Smith\nSpiritually Inspiring Stories from the Himalayan Tradition \nFavorites from Swami Veda\, Swami Radha and Michael Smith”. \n  \n“The shortest distance between a human being and the Truth is a story.” \n                                                                                                          (Father Anthony de Mello) \n  \nOne of the most instructive and powerful ways that wisdom is communicated is through  stories. Think of the folk tales\, fairy tales\, and fables we heard as children — our cultural heritage — that have become part of personal fund of knowledge. Think of the aphorisms and metaphors that are part and parcel of our day-to-day communication with others. Think of Jesus’ parables in the Bible.  \nSwami Rama and Swami Veda told hundreds of teaching stories that were passed on to them from their parents and their teachers\, the ancient texts\, and the Indian folk lore of the Puranas\, the Mahabharata — the Dhamapada and the Jataka Tales.  \nPlease join us this Thursday as Swami Radha and Michael review some of these stories and tell their favorites.  \n

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang via Zoom: "The Sleep of the Yogis: Gateway to Samādhi" with Stephen Parker (Stoma)\, PsyD - July 23\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – July 23\, 2020\n“The Sleep of the Yogis: Gateway to Samādhi”\nwith Stephen Parker (Stoma)\, PsyD\n7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.\n\nTo receive the zoom link for this event\, please subscribe to The Meditation Center’s e-newsletter on the home page of this website.\n\nContemporary practice of yoga-nidrā is often reduced to any facilitated relaxation exercise. The practice taught by Swami Rama is a systematic way to gradually enter consciously into deep\, dreamless sleep and by doing so to gradually dissolve the boundary between deep sleep and the deepest meditation\, samādhi. \nDr. Stephen Parker was initiated in the Himalayan Yoga tradition by Swami Veda Bharati and was given the initiate name Stoma in 1971. Among the first teachers certified by the Himalayan International Teachers’ Association\, H.I.T.A.\, he began teaching hatha yoga in 1974. During that time he also studied Sanskrit with Swami Veda and South Asian languages and culture for his B.A. at the University of Minnesota.\n\nStoma is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher at the 500-hour level of the Yoga Alliance (E-RYT 500). A member of the International Association of Y.T.\, he serves on the faculties of the Meditation Center in Minneapolis and the Sadhaka Gram ashram in Rishikesh\, India. He is also a senior faculty member of the Himalayan Yoga Tradition Teachers’ Training Program. He has lectured on yoga\, meditation\, yoga psychology\, and spiritual practice in the U.S. and Canada as well as in Caribbean countries\, Holland\, Italy\, Austria\, Hungary\, Lithuania\, South Africa\, Korea\, Hong Kong\, and India. In 2004 he helped originate and teach the first course on yoga in an American medical school at the University of Minnesota Academic Medical Center. In 2007 he received preliminary vows of renunciation from Swami Veda and the Shankaracharya of Karvirapitha.\n\nStoma has been a licensed psychologist in private practice in St. Paul\, MN since 1985. He also serves as Adjunct Assistant School Professor of Counseling and Psychological Services at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota and Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis\, MN. He teaches on the faculty of the Introductory Workshops of the Minnesota Society of Clinical Hypnosis. In addition to authoring journal articles and book chapters\, Dr. Parker edited volume two of Swami Veda’s definitive scholarly work on the Yoga-Sutras of Patanjali and he has been a peer review editor for the Journal of Men’s Studies\, the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry\, the International Journal of Yoga T. and Yoga Mimamsa. He is also the author of Clearing the Path\, The Yoga Way to a Clear and Pleasant Mind: Yoga\, Neuroscience and Emotion (2017) published by AHYMSA publishers and distributed by Lotus Press.

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang via Zoom: "More Spiritually Inspiring Stories from the Himalayan Tradition "retold  by Michael Smith - October 15\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang via Zoom –  October 15\,\, 2020\n7:00 p.m.. – 8:30 p.m.\nMore Spiritually Inspiring Stories from the Himalayan Tradition\nretold  by Michael  Smith\n\n\nTo receive the zoom link for this event\, please subscribe to \nThe Meditation Center’s e-newsletter on the home page of this website.\n\n\n\nStay tuned for the details. \nOne of the most instructive and powerful ways that wisdom is communicated is through stories. Think of the folk tales\, fairy tales and fables we heard as children – our cultural heritage – that have become part of personal fund of knowledge. Think of the aphorisms and metaphors that are part and parcel of our day-to-day communication with others. Think of Jesus’ parables in the Bible. \nSwami Rama and  Swami Veda told hundreds of teaching stories that were passed on to them from their parents & their teachers\, the ancient texts\, and the Indian folk lore of the Puranas\, the Mahabharata\, the Dhamapada\, and the Jataka Tales. \nPlease join us this Thursday as Michael tells more spiritually inspiring stories. \n
