SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang Via Zoom Only: "Food Sadhana - Part 2" with Gary Gran CYT\, DAy. on April 6\, 2023 \,  7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. CST
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang Via Zoom and In-Person Viewing at TMC – April 6\, 2023\n“Food Sadhana Part 2”\nwith Gary Gran\, CYT\, DAy.\n7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. CDT\n6:00-7:00 p.m.: Gentle Hatha Yoga with Chris Young\n\n7:00-7:30 p.m.: Guided Meditation with Swami Radha Bharati\n\n7:30-8:30 p.m.: “Food Sadhana – Part 2” with Gary Gran\, CYT\, DAy.\n\n8:30 p.m.: Evening Prayers\n\n8:40 p.m. – Snacks\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nAlways a lively topic\, join us for more discussion of food and diet practices. In our constant search for food\, we often overlook the impact of food on our energy level. In this session\, we’ll expand our concept of mindful eating and take a close look at the sattvic diet favored by yogis.\n\n	\n\n\n\n“When eaten in a regular and balanced manner\, when not overeaten\, food is a source of energy. Overindulgence in food de-energizes us. Food eaten in moderate amounts leaves less residue to block the energy channels of the body. One of the most debilitating and de-energizing factors causing inertia is the residue of foods left in the body which are not properly assimilated or cleaned out. Irregular eating\, constant nibbling and eating between meals do not allow the system sufficient time to rest\, assimilate and clean house. If the dead cells and phlegmatic flows are not eliminated\, if the putrid stuff just lying in the internal organs is never removed\, a de-energizing\, debilitating\, tamasic influence is exerted on the nerves and the mind.” – Swami Veda Bharati\, Himalayan News\, April 1978 \n\n\n	\n\n\nGary Gran CYT\, DAy. is a certified yoga teacher and Ayurvedic practitioner trained in the Himalayan tradition since the 1970s. He lives and practices in Tucson\, Arizona with his wife Cynthia. He has published more than seventy articles on Ayurveda and yoga. His blog is ayurvedalessons.com.\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nRead “Food Sadhana Part 3 “Expanding Mindfulness” here by Gary Gran CYT\, DAy.\n\nRead “Food Sadhana Part 4 “Sattvic Diet” here by Gary Gran CYT\, DAy.

Sometimes it appears quite weak. Sometimes it appears even lost. But let’s see if right now\, here\, as you’re feeling the physical temple [while] sitting\, as you’re feeling the prana and the breath cleansing and nourishing this temple\, cleaning it — as your thoughts are allowed to go\, whatever they are\, good or bad doesn’t matter\, and the mantra somewhere is roaming around there too\, reverberating in the inner temple in the sanctuary — that right here\, in the depth\, in the core of being itself\, this Light is.\n\nAs Swami Veda said in the title of the book that we all shared\, [in] many languages\, the poem of his\, it is like ten thousand suns. And even if you feel it right now just a little — like a little flame\, something is whispering\, something is calling you\, like a little Deepak in your heart — can you be with it right now? Can you be in awe of it? Can you hold it in as best as you can in your awareness right now\, as the most precious thing that is? But it is not even a “thing” — please forgive my language. It is not whatever; [it is] the most precious existence!

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang via Zoom and In-Person Viewing at TMC: Hiking Pilgrimage in the Himalayas Joshimath\, Badrinath\, and the Valley of Flowers with Renée Silvus - April
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang via Zoom and In-Person Viewing at TMC – April 27\, 2023\nHiking Pilgrimage in the Himalayas\nJoshimath\, Badrinath\, and the Valley of Flowers\nwith Renée Silvus\n7:00 – 8:30 p.m\n6:00-7:00 p.m.: Gentle Hatha Yoga with Eric Ness\n7:00-7:30 p.m.: Guided Meditation with Swami Radha Bharati\n7:30-8:30 p.m.:Hiking Pilgrimage in the Himalayas Joshimath\, Badrinath\, and the Valley of Flowers\nwith Renée Silvus\n8:30 p.m.: Evening Prayers\n8:40 p.m.: Snacks\n \nConsider how you understand pilgrimage. We may think of a journey to a sacred destination\, or a journey walking along a sacred route. The Sanskrit for Pilgrimage is Irta Yatra. Irta refers to a connection point to layers of consciousness\, while Yatra is journey. This reminds us how pilgrimage includes an internal sacred journey as well. \nNorthern India is saturated with shrines\, peaks\, streams\, and paths. It isn’t supposed to be easy. The harrowing roads hug steep and unstable mountainsides. You may have to hike longer than expected\, choose between a helicopter or donkey\, and navigate monkeys and donkey dung. \nJoin us for another account and vivid slideshow of the recent excursion with the Himalayan Institute. There are wide vistas\, steep trails\, camping\, endless waterfalls\, and all kinds of shrines. See an archetypal town right out of a western\, and enjoy a sunny day tromping into the spectacular Valley of Flowers. \nRenée  lives in the mountains of McCall\, Idaho where she teaches\, coaches\, facilitates\, and manages a retreat venue and a co-working/event space. Renée was initiated at SRSG in 2016 by Swami Radha\, studied with Dr. Ganasan at Sadhana Mandir\, and served a month of seva at the Himalayan Institute. Renée is currently completing the first in a series of short books on reading Henry D. Thoreau.
