DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang In Person at TMC and via Zoom\nOctober 31\, 2024\n“Tales from the dark side:  Asuras east and west” with Paul Emerson\, PhD\n7:00-8:30 p.m. CDT\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n5:30-6:45 p.m. – Gentle Hatha Yoga – TBD \n6:15-6:40 p.m. – Vegan Soup \n6:40-7:00 p.m. – Diwali Puja with Emilio Bettaglio \n7:00-7:30 p.m. – Meditation with Swami Radha Bharati \n7:30 -8:30 p.m. – “Tales from the Dark Side: Asuras East and West” presented by Paul Emerson Ph.D. \n8:30 p.m. Evening Prayers \n8:40 p.m.  Join Us for Birthday Cake in Honor of Paul Emerson \n\n\n\nWhen the seasons change and light becomes less\, imagination stirs. We remember departed souls\, tell stories of ghosts and think about other creatures that go “bump” in the night.  The beings of light are temporarily forgotten and replaced and replaced by shadows.  But of course the shadows also point us back to the light.  Both eastern and western spiritual traditions have these stories of dark beings and their Ravanas (villain of the Ramayana) are Legion.  Today being Halloween I thought would be a good time to tell some of these stories and remind ourselves of the light behind them. \nPaul Emerson is a biomedical engineer with a Ph.D. He is the authority on the physiology of breathing for The Meditation Center and has been teaching yoga for over 30 years. Paul has worked as a research scientist\, has been a manager of clinical research with a major biomedical company and a university instructor. In addition\, he holds eight patents in the areas of dialysis and sleep therapy. he is a scholar of ancient yoga texts. Paul was certified by the Rockford School of Yoga and began teaching in 1975.

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang Via Zoom and In-Person Viewing:   Showing of Documentary Film on Neem Karoli Baba "Moved by Grace - Part I"\,  November 7\, 2024\,  7:00-8:30 p.m. CST
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang Via Zoom and In-Person Viewing -November 7\, 2024\nShowing of Documentary Film on Neem Karoli Baba\n“Moved by Grace – Part I”\n7:00-8:30 p.m. CST\n  \n5:30-6:45 p.m. – Gentle Hatha Yoga with Michael Snodgrass\n7:00-8:00 p.m.: Showing of Documentary Film on Neem Karoli Baba “Moved by Grace Part I”\n8:00 -8:30 p.m. – Meditation with Swami Ma Radha Bharati\n8:30 p.m. Evening Prayers\nEveryone is welcome!!!\n\n	\n\n\n“An Astounding Mystic” by H.H.S. Swami Rama\nSelflessness is one of the prominent signs of a spiritual man. If this quality is missing in the character of one who is supposed to be spiritual\, he is not really a spiritual person. There was a well-know master\, Nim Karoli Baba\, who befriended me when I was still quite young. He lived in Nanital\, one of the hill resorts in the Himalaya. He was a man who lived half here and half there… \n…In such a high state one becomes like a child. He is not fully aware of mundane things\, but he is constantly aware of the Truth. \n(Living with the Himalayan Masters pages 107-110) \n\nUsing the festive ambience of the 15 June bhandara queue at Kainchi\, as a warp and 11 versions of Hanuman Chalisa as a weft\, the film weaves together remarkable and endearing stories of faith into a small shred of Maharajji’s blanket of love. Equally the film is a heartful tribute to Maharajji and to the sweet surrender and devotion of so many of Maharajji’s delightful devotees. \nThe film endeavors to spotlight different facets of the Master’s grace through a few beings who represent us all as the countless nameless\, faceless devotees of a Master. \nThe potent reminder for us is that the subtle movement of grace can occur to any one of us as long as we are receptive. \nThese “Moved by Grace” stories are interspersed with different verses of the “Hanuman Chalisa” sung by 11 different devotees in their own unique melodies. \n\n	\n\n\nTo support the work of The Meditation Center and register you can donate here (suggested donation $25.00) for Special Thursday Satsang or make a general donation by clicking on the “donate” button on the “Support TMC” website page. \nOr donate through PayPal.

Swami Rama’s Māhasamadhi\nNovember 13\, 1996\n\n\n“In 1996\, this fully enlightened Master and representative of the ancient lineage of yogis left his body.

The full impact of his legacy will be\nrealized perhaps in a century.”\n\n\nOm\nGurave namaḥ.\nParama-gurave namaḥ.\nParameṣhṭhi-gurave namaḥ.\nParamparā-gurubhyo namaḥ.\n\n~ Swami Veda Bharati ~\nfrom Swami Veda’s Blog\n\n\nThis year\, we celebrate the 28th anniversary of Swami Rama’s MahaSamadhi. Gurudev left his body on November 13\, 1996 in his apartment at the HIHT campus. He was surrounded by his close disciples. A special program (in person and via Zoom) for Thursday’s gathering will be presented.\n\n\n\nOn the First Maha-Samadhi Anniversary of H.H. Swami Rama\n\nPublished: 13 November 2015 | Written by Swami Veda Bharati\n\n\nOn the First Maha-Samadhi Anniversary of H.H. Swami Rama\nPhone Address by Swami Veda\nThe Meditation Center\, Minneapolis\, Minnesota USA\nNovember 2\, 1997 \nOM! OM! OM! \nThe days become sacred when a sacred being imparts a special grace or energy to the forces in the universe. All the annual cycles of celebration and commemorations are built around those occasions. In our present day society and thinking\, the human being is no longer a unit in the universe; he views himself as something outside the universe\, trying to control the universe as an outsider. This view is incorrect\, we are part of the universe\, the energy and life that flows through us is the same one through whose rhythms and waves\, all the planets\, stars\, constellations\, breath patterns\, respond. That enlightenment is not an individual event; it is a cosmic or ultra-cosmic event. The coming into body of a sacred being\, an enlightened being\, also is not an individual event. It is not something over which only the immediate physical relatives rejoice; it is something of universal importance. It is a universal event. It is beyond the category of the birth of planets. It is said that when an enlightened being sits for his final enlightenment session all the saints\, past Buddhas\, and enlightened ones attend upon him. And thereafter\, his rhythms are not the rhythms of an individual. Those of us who were fortunate to see the Master walking\, who recall at times walking with him and feeling as though we paced together with the universal force\, with some unseen\, unknown magnet – those of us who experienced that phenomenon will never forget it\, because it was not an individual but the condensation\, the convergence of an unknown number of universal forces passing through that particular space\, time\, matter coordinate that we call an individual. \nI’ve said\, “The days become sacred.” Those of us who have been taught to be in tune\, even to a minor degree\, to be attuned to those rhythms\, to the beat to which a master walks\, find that on those sacred days\, certain special waves touch us. These are not the waves of a physical energy\, but rather something happens within the consciousness. We do not realize that it is all synchronized\, that the events of consciousness are synchronized with the events in the universe. Or rather\, to put it more correctly\, the events in the universe are projections of the events in consciousness… (an excerpt)

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang Via Zoom and In-Person Viewing: Showing of Documentary Film on Neem Karoli Baba "Moved by Grace - Part II"\,  November 21\, 2024\,  7:00-8:30 p.m. CST
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang Via Zoom and In-Person Viewing -November 21\, 2024\nShowing of Documentary Film on Neem Karoli Baba\n“Moved by Grace – Part II”\n7:00-8:30 p.m. CST\n  \n5:30-6:45 p.m. – Gentle Hatha Yoga\n7:00-8:00 p.m.: Showing of Documentary Film on Neem Karoli Baba “Moved by Grace Part II”\n8:00 -8:30 p.m. – Meditation with Swami Ma Radha Bharati\n8:30 p.m. Evening Prayers\nEveryone is welcome!!!\n\n	\n\n\n“An Astounding Mystic” by H.H.S. Swami Rama\nSelflessness is one of the prominent signs of a spiritual man. If this quality is missing in the character of one who is supposed to be spiritual\, he is not really a spiritual person. There was a well-know master\, Nim Karoli Baba\, who befriended me when I was still quite young. He lived in Nanital\, one of the hill resorts in the Himalaya. He was a man who lived half here and half there… \n…In such a high state one becomes like a child. He is not fully aware of mundane things\, but he is constantly aware of the Truth. \n(Living with the Himalayan Masters pages 107-110) \nUsing the festive ambience of the 15 June bhandara queue at Kainchi\, as a warp and 11 versions of Hanuman Chalisa as a weft\, the film weaves together remarkable and endearing stories of faith into a small shred of Maharajji’s blanket of love. Equally the film is a heartful tribute to Maharajji and to the sweet surrender and devotion of so many of Maharajji’s delightful devotees. \nThe film endeavors to spotlight different facets of the Master’s grace through a few beings who represent us all as the countless nameless\, faceless devotees of a Master. \nThe potent reminder for us is that the subtle movement of grace can occur to any one of us as long as we are receptive. \nThese “Moved by Grace” stories are interspersed with different verses of the “Hanuman Chalisa” sung by 11 different devotees in their own unique melodies. \n\n	\n\n\nTo support the work of The Meditation Center and register you can donate here (suggested donation $25.00) for Special Thursday Satsang or make a general donation by clicking on the “donate” button on the “Support TMC” website page. \nOr donate through PayPal.
