SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang via Zoom: “Ahimsa and Shaucha...The Two Sided Coin" with Pandit Tejomaya - March 3\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang via Zoom – March 3\, 2022\n“Ahimsa and Shaucha: The Two Sided Coin”\nwith Pandit Tejomaya\n7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.\nTo receive the zoom link for this event\, please subscribe to The Meditation Center’s e-newsletter on the home page of this website.\n7:00 p.m.: Meditation guided by Swami Radha Bharati\n7:30-8:30 p.m.: Talk by Pandit Tejomaya\n8:30 p.m.: Evening Prayers\nPandit Tejomaya will begin the evening with a short reference to Shivaratri\, which falls on March 1st\, and will read Shankaracharya’s “Shivohum. ” His talk will follow. \nHidden among the numberless blessings of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras is the transformative interplay between the Yamas and the Niyamas. With the first\, we systematically empty ourselves of all our habits which are not helpful on the spiritual path; with the second\, we intentionally fill ourselves with the qualities that are conducive to spiritual growth. Either limb without the other is incomplete. \n\nThis symbiotic relationship\, and the underlying brilliance of Patanjali’s system\, is beautifully exemplified in the relationship between Ahimsa and Shaucha. Each is a sacred practice unto itself with breathtaking potential\, and yet neither practice can be fully realized without the other. \n\nPandit Tejomaya was initiated in the Himalayan Tradition by Swami Veda in 2008. He was initiated as a Pandit by Pandit Dabral\, and received the name Tejomaya in 2012. He took the vows of a Vanaprastha\, or Forest Dweller\, in January of 2017.\n\nPandit Tejomaya resides on Gabriola Island in the Salish Sea of Canada’s British Columbia where he lives a life of sadhana and devotion.

SUMMARY:Cancelled Because of Date Change - New Monthly "Bhagavad Gita" Study Group via Zoom with Sandra Uyterhoeven and Randall Krause  Begins on Saturday\, February 5\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:Cancelled New Monthly “Bhagavad Gita” Study Group via Zoom\nwith Sandra Uyterhoeven and Randall Krause\n10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.\nDonation: $15.00/session\nThis class will meet the 1st Saturday of every month.\nThe “Bhagavad Gita” is one of the great spiritual books of the world and a core source of Yoga Philosophy. In essence\, it is a spiritual discourse given by Krishna\, an incarnation of Vishnu\, to his disciple\, the great warrior Arjuna\, on the threshold of a vast war in which both would soon be involved. The teachings of the “Gita” are as meaningful today as they were thousands of years ago.\n\nIn this study group\, in successive monthly sessions\, we will slowly walk through the “Gita” from the beginning\, discussing each of the verses. This will not be a lecture\, but rather a study and discussion group. Although the leaders will officiate and offer brief talks now and then\, all of the study group members will read and discuss the verses. Participants will share perspectives from their favorite translations of the verses and commentaries\, and this will broaden our understanding of the “Gita.”\n\nBecause one of the leaders is a Yoga Alliance Continuing Yoga Education Provider (YACEP)\, you may count each hour of your participation in this study group as a “Contact” hour of continuing yoga education.\n\nLeaders: Sandra Uyterhoeven and Randall Krause\nSandra Uyterhoeven is an experienced yoga teacher\, yoga therapist and loves the Bhagavad Gita. She is an initiate in the Himalayan Yoga Meditation Tradition. Sandra is experienced at leading study groups in yoga philosophy.\n\nRandall Krause is an initiate of the Himalayan Yoga Meditation Tradition and a senior mentor and teacher in the Tradition. He is registered with Yoga Alliance (YA) as an Experienced Yoga Teacher and a Continuing Yoga Education Provider (YACEP).

Convey your inner peace\, stillness and emotional equilibrium. See how this silence “speaks” to other minds at that deep level. Silence impacts the psyche as no spoken word can.”\n-Swami Veda Bharati-\n\n\n\n“Only those who have learnt to merge their speech into the sea of silence\nhave found the fount of wisdom.\nImmerse yourself in that sea.”\n\n-Swami Veda Bharati-\n(Silence Light Beyond Mind\, page 160)\n_____________________________\n\nSwami Ma Radha Bharati took her vows of Sanyasa in 2007 from Swami Veda Bharati. She earned an M.A. Degree and further formal studies in Comparative Philosophy at the University of Hawaii and an M.A. in Public Policy at the University of Minnesota\, Humphrey School of Public Policy. Swami Ma Radha has been a disciple of Swami Rama of the Himalayas since 1971\, and has been serving as Academic Director of Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama in Rishikesh\, India\, for the past ten years.\n\nEmilio Bettaglio was initiated into the Himalayan Yoga Tradition in 1971 by then Pandit Usharbudh Arya\, and has been a regular practitioner since. He has received instruction on Pranayama practices from various teachers in the tradition over the years and most recently from Pandit Dabral. In 2019\, Emilio took Vanaprastha vows and is currently a member of the Meditation Center’s Spiritual Committee.\n\nDaya Seeley has been teaching Hatha Yoga classes since 2002. In late 2000\, Daya found yoga/meditation courses offered through the Community Education programs in her town. Soon after\, Daya collaborated with her yoga teacher in teaching small classes in a space that had been the local funeral home. This was before it was required to have a yoga certification. Daya went on to study yoga with a popular fitness-center-based teacher training program that required 11 levels of courses. She took them all\, but wanted more. In 2002\, Daya discovered the Institute of the Himalayan Tradition and was taught classical Hatha Yoga by Ma Devi\, Swami Jaidev\, and Maynard Speece. In 2007\, Daya was initiated. This milestone was followed by a trip to India in 2009. In 2010\, Daya entered a year-long Meditation Teaching Certification course through IHT. Since then she has been teaching yoga and meditation classes in the traditional way and has taught hatha yoga in silence retreats for both IHT and The Meditation Center. Daya continues her education through seminars and classes from fabulous teachers within the Himalayan Tradition Yoga community.

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang In Person and via Zoom: "The Promises and Disappointments of Utopia: new ways to use your Vril staff" with Paul Emerson Ph.D. - March 31\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang In Person and Via Zoom – March 31\, 2022\n\n“The Promises and Disappointments of Utopia: new ways to use your Vril staff”\nwith Paul Emerson Ph.D.\n7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. CDT\n  \n7:00 p.m.: Meditation with Swami Radha Bharati\n7:30-8:30 p.m.: Talk with Paul Emerson\, Ph.D.\n8:30 p.m.: Evening Prayers\n\n	\n\n\n\nJoin Paul in person or via Zoom on Thursday\, March 31\, 2022\n\n	\n\n\nCertainly the war in the Ukraine and the threat of nuclear annihilation leads one to consider other types of social organization. To this end a variety of Utopian ideas have been proposed over the last several thousand years and some have actually been tried out to varying degrees of success. I’d like to consider some of these ideas and experiences to see if there is any commonality or lessons to be learned particularly from those which didn’t quite work out as planned. If nothing else they make for some interesting stories.\n\n	\n\n\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.
