Divine Stories of Nakshatras and their Musical Sounds

“That which elevates one is Dharma. Dharma is that which leads you to the path of perfection and glory. Dharma is that which helps you to have direct communion with the Lord. Dharma is that which makes you Divine. Dharma is the ascending stairway unto God.” — Swami Sivananda

You are invited to this special Thanksgiving program at the Yoga Farm featuring special guest teachers who have dedicated their lives to the spiritual path, ready to share their spiritual knowledge gleaned from years of practice to help us understand these turbulent times where conflict seems ever-present and peace out of reach.

We look to the wisdom of the classical Yoga teachings to remove any question about what is the nature of Truth in these often confusing times. Practical teachings will address what is true leadership on the spiritual path; What is the meaning of personal choice? What is dharma?; What is true freedom? What is the nature of Optimism, hope, and faith?

The Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains at 14651 Ballantree Lane in Grass Valley, CA—450 miles north of Los Angeles and 60 miles northeast of Sacramento. Would you like to carpool?

It is always a joyous celebration, but especially so this year as Swami Sitaramananda will be with us!
