They will discuss the history and purpose of the festival; and how our sankalpas and tapas in our chosen practices will inform our spiritual unfoldment during the “Decade of Loving Transformation” leading to SVB’s 100th Birthday in 2033. \nThe festival is 40-days of purification of all aspects of our being through chosen practices. \nSome options for practices are : \nBegin or increase the Sangha Ganesha mantra japa…practice embodying Ganesha in stillness\, in his stillness. \nDecrease screen time\, especially in the evening; put down the phone\, turn off the computer. \nFind ways to honor Earth Mother: walk in silence in the woods\, feed the wild animals\, nourish the ants\, pick up trash in nature\, contemplate one of the five elements in nature. \nFast one day a week\, could be partial fasting or simply eliminating one preferred food item. \nContemplate that which helps you be still. \nDo self-study and journal your experiences. \nStudy “Sutra 1.33\,” the Brahma Viharas\, especially Upeksha (equanimity in the face of evil.) \n\nTo support the work of The Meditation Center and register you can donate here (suggested donation $15.00) for Thursday Satsang or make a general donation by clicking on the “donate” button on the “Support TMC” website page.
