The essense of yoga is about connecting inside and learning to source our lives from the divinity that resides within that is "brighter than 1000 suns!" It is a journey back home to the SELF, the grandest adventure of all time, merging  back to the brightest part of ourselves! 

This year, 2016, is very special to us because it marks our 10th year in the pure magnificence of our Beloved Teacher, Swami Ashutosh Muni. It has been ten wondrous, amazing, and awe-inspiring years in an indepth study of the Bhagavad Gita and in learning to make strides towards the brilliance that lies within under such loving and knowledgeable guidance and most of all LOVE. We are so grateful.

Sunday Satsangas in September to deepen your experience of yoga:

1. September 4th - We had to cancel our kirtan......in the wake of Hermine......no power back yet! We hope everyone fared well in the storm....you are in our hearts and in our prayers.
2. September 18th -  What are gunas? We will chant chapter 14 Bhagavad Gita which is sometimes entitled, "The Yoga of the Differentiation of the Three Qualities"......or "Gunas". This is a very important concept in yoga.
3. September 25th - We will chant chapter 14 again and continue with an overview of this sublime knowledge.

Next Kirtan Sunday, October 2nd .......with Hal, Adam and Jeff  3:30-5:30pm at 2950 Bay Shore Drive.

This is our wonderful crew from June camp! We introduced the children to meditation and described this discipline as a method to access the FORCE. We used the Star Wars vernacular because they know and understand it well.........however we also talked about other words that mean the same.........chi.........spiritual energy..........prana...... the holy spirit. Meditation is proven to help children  focus and attend to a task without distraction......like schoolwork or any endeavor they choose to pursue in their lives.

We also introduced the children to chanting........which is yet another form of meditation. We had lots of fun!

We are excited to sprinkle this year with many opportunities to nurture and grow our spiritual family of seekers. The soul is forever..... as we have been chanting in Bhagavad Gita.........it is "uncuttable, unburnable, unwettable, undryable"........ yet it is very delicate....... you could say it is timid....... and requires time and practice and purpose to bring it to the forefront of our lives..... our thoughts and emotions. Purity and clarity of awareness..........  is the essence of this inner most conscious Self ..............and is something that ought to be sanctioned and emboldened to direct the course of our lives in a more purposeful manner. This is our aim................ for ourselves and this family.

Since January 2016 we have begun to meet on Sundays to sing  the Bhagavad Gita in English which has been translated meticulously by our Bapuji in the same rhyme and meter as the original Sanskrit text (this has NEVER been accomplished before now and IT IS AMAZING!!! - we sing a chapter just the way it is done in Temples of Mother India) and do aarti together. This is very special and very exciting for us.......a sublime practice to begin to embed this holy scripture deep into our psyches. Aarti is an offering of light........a prayer to all the masters and saints that walked this path before us......that they may light our way forward....one step at a time.
