DESCRIPTION:Thursday  Satsang In Person and via Zoom – November 14\, 2024\n“Remembrance of  the Mahasamadhi of H.H.S. Swami Rama of the Himalayas”\n\n	\n\n\n7:00-8:30 p.m. CST \n 5:30-6:45 p.m.: Gentle Hatha Yoga\n7:00-7:30 p.m.: Guided Meditation with Swami Radha Bharati\n7:30-8:30 p.m.: Commemoration of Māhasamadhi of H.H.S.

Swami Rama of the Himalayas left his body on November 13\, 1996.  Please join us on Thursday\, November 16\, 2023 for a celebration and memorial of the life and teachings of this great master from The Himalayan Yoga Tradition. H.H.S. Swami Rama was a yogi\, scientist\, researcher\, writer\, and humanitarian \n\n\n\n28th Anniversary\n H.H.S. 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. His memorial today is in the hearts of his disciples and students who carry his work. He is most remembered for his great love for all and the magnetic power of his spirit\, such that as he walked\, one felt pulled to follow behind him. 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.

SUMMARY:Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement®  A process to enhance your yoga practice and overcome pain with Gabriele Lorf-Allen - November 23\, 2024;  1:00-3:30 p.m.
DESCRIPTION:Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement®\nA process to enhance your yoga practice and overcome pain\nwith Gabriele Lorf-Allen\nNovember 23\, 2024\n1:00-3:30 p.m.\nCost: $25.00\nRegister here.\nIn this workshop\, we will shift the focus from movements that lead to a specific outcome\, i.e. a yoga asana\, to a movement process that potentiates your brain’s plasticity\, thereby improving any desired outcome spontaneously and effortlessly. It is a process of approximating a result\, discovering your limiting habits\, and accessing new possibilities. \nInstructions: \n1. The movements will be slow and easy. Dress accordingly and wear loose-fitting clothes. \n2. Bring a folded towel or firm pillow (garden kneeling pads work great) to support your head when lying on the side\, high enough to fill the space between your head and shoulder. \n3. Have a chair or stool in the room (we may use it) \n4. Adjust your camera to capture your entire body lying and sitting on the floor. \nEarly on\, Gabriele worked as a physical therapist in hospitals and private practice. Her interest in rehabilitation from brain trauma led her to study the Feldenkrais Method\, which has informed every aspect of her life for 30 years. Over the past decade\, Gabriele has had the opportunity to share this transformational movement method with HYMT sangha members at meditation retreats. She maintains a private practice in Oakland\, CA\, working with children and adults.
