SUMMARY:“Tea and Teachings” with Swami Radha Bharati – 10:00am – Noon - "The Yamas"
DESCRIPTION:“Tea and Teachings” with Swami Radha Bharati\nSunday\, August 27\, 2017\n10:00am – Noon\nPotluck Brunch and Discussion\n“The Yamas”\nSave the day! Everyone is welcome to join in the discussion and share in the offerings of refreshment. Swami Radha will continue to speak on the benefits and subtleties of the practices and observances of the “Yamas” from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in our daily lives. \nThis past Sunday we had an energetic discussion about the principle of “ahimsa”\, non-harming\, and how we choose to practice non-harming through our individual decisions and choices from moment to moment and day to day.  In August we will begin contemplating the second observance\, “satya\,” or truth\, and its relationship to “ahimsa” and the other “yamas.”

SUMMARY:Full Moon Meditation Tonight at The Meditation Center – September 6\, 2017 from 9:00pm – 10:00pm
DESCRIPTION:Full Moon Meditation Tonight at The Meditation Center –\nSeptember 6\, 2017 from 9:00pm – 10:00pm\n\nSwami Ritavan invites you to join us at The Meditation Center for a group meditation starting at 9 o’clock in the evening or meditate wherever you are at that time\, at home or with friends. These full moon meditations offer a cooling salve to the strident tone of our times. All are welcome!\n\n\n\n“Yoga Philosophy views the mind as Universal field; its waves passing through us and becoming our individual minds. This Universal mind is a radiant force and is also known as a Universal Guru within. When all sit together at the same time even in different parts of the world\, they connect to the Universal Guru mind and generate a strong field\, like so many magnets being joined together and forming a much stronger magnet; the strength of each then equals the combined strength of all. Thus it is when we join together in meditation\, and together enter the Guru-mind’s Field. On certain days of the year the Wave of Beauty and the Wave of Bliss flows very strong. These are the sacred days.” Text courtesy of ahymsin.org. \n\n\n– Swami Veda Bharati –

SUMMARY:“Tea and Teachings” with Swami Radha Bharati from 3:00pm - 5:00pm - High Tea Time
DESCRIPTION:“Tea and Teachings” with Swami Radha Bharati\n“The Third Yama – Asteya”\n  \nSaturday\, September 23\, 2017 \n3:00pm – 5:00pm – High Tea Time \nSave the day! Everyone is welcome to join in the discussion and share in the offerings of refreshment. Swami Radha will continue to speak on the benefits and subtleties of the practices and observances of the “Yamas” from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in our daily lives. \nThese past Sundays we have had thoughtful discussions regarding the principles of “ahimsa”\, non-harming\, and “satya”\, non-lying\, and how we have chosen to practice both “yamas” through our individual decisions and choices from moment to moment and day to day.  In September we will begin contemplating the third observance\, “asteya\,” or non-stealing\, and its relationship to “ahimsa” and “satya.”

SUMMARY:Full Moon Meditation Tonight at The Meditation Center – October 5\, 2017 from 9:00pm – 10:00pm
DESCRIPTION:Full Moon Meditation Tonight at The Meditation Center\n\nOctober 5\, 2017 from 9:00pm – 10:00pm\nSwami Ritavan invites you to join us at The Meditation Center for a group meditation starting at 9 o’clock in the evening or meditate wherever you are at that time\, at home or with friends. These full moon meditations offer a cooling salve to the strident tone of our times. All are welcome! \n“Yoga Philosophy views the mind as Universal field; its waves passing through us and becoming our individual minds. This Universal mind is a radiant force and is also known as a Universal Guru within. When all sit together at the same time even in different parts of the world\, they connect to the Universal Guru mind and generate a strong field\, like so many magnets being joined together and forming a much stronger magnet; the strength of each then equals the combined strength of all. Thus it is when we join together in meditation\, and together enter the Guru-mind’s Field. On certain days of the year the Wave of Beauty and the Wave of Bliss flows very strong. These are the sacred days.” Text courtesy of ahymsin.org. \n– Swami Veda Bharati – \n
