In 1984, Swami Veda, then known as Dr. Usharbudh Arya, presented a series of workshops and lectures on ‘Meditations from the Tantras’ in Minnesota. On June 11, 1985, he presented a summary version of these talks at the Himalayan Institute of Glenview in Glenview, Illinois. The room was packed.
In this workshop, Swami Veda detailed a particular sequence of meditations from the tantric tradition. He explained that they weren’t intended for our daily practice, but that they were meant to educate us, and demonstrate the practices as given within the tradition.
So why are these teachings relevant to us today? They are as relevant today as they were 40 years ago and 1,000 years ago, because they hold the key to our healing, the healing of our relationships, and the healing of our earth.
During tonight’s satsang, we will share these universal teachings from personal notes taken during the workshop. Please join us as we ponder the healing message of the tantric tradition. All are welcome.
“Tantras are an extremely ancient body of texts. Tantra, like mantra, like yantra – they cover practically everything there is in the universe, but by way of a method as well as philosophy of personal experience.” ~ Swami Veda Bharati~
Gary Gran, CYT, DAy. was in attendance at the 1985 workshop and will be sharing theteachings from his personal notes. He and his wife Cynthia have been treading the Himalayan path since the late 1970s. They met at the old Glenview Center in Illinois and have served the tradition in various capacities over the years.
