SUMMARY:Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita
DESCRIPTION:Ongoing on Fridays with Swami Sivasankariananda  \nIN PERSON OR ONLINERegistrants will be sent a Zoom link at least one hour before the class. Please be sure to turn your video on. \nWe continue our study of this timeless scripture\, moving to Chapter 4\, The Yoga of Wisdom. In this chapter Krishna teaches that it is very difficult to decide our own duty. One who contemplates on the Supreme Self and performs actions with understanding for the good of the world\, without selfish motive\, without expectation of its result is called wise\, a sage. That person never expects anything from the world and is happy always. \nJoin us weekly\, or drop in when you can.

SUMMARY:Diwali Stories
DESCRIPTION:With Swami Gangananda \n\n\n\n\n \nIN PERSON OR ONLINEA Zoom link will be sent to online registrants at least an hour before the first class. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiwali\, also known as Deepavali\, is a major Hindu festival celebrating the victory of light over darkness\, good over evil\, and knowledge over ignorance. Rooted in Hindu mythology\, the festival most famously marks Rama’s return to Ayodhya after he defeats the demon king Ravana\, symbolizing the triumph of righteousness. It is also associated with Goddess Lakshmi\, the deity of wealth and prosperity\, and Lord Ganesha\, the remover of obstacles.\n \nAncient stories tell of Prince Rama\, the embodiment of divine righteousness\, returning to his kingdom after 14 years of exile and defeating the demon king Ravana. To guide his path through the pitch-black\, moonless night\, the citizens lit millions of clay lamps (diyas)\, welcoming the return of divine cosmic order to the earth.\n \nSpiritually\, these nights are believed to carry a powerful energy. It is a time when Lakshmi\, the manifestation of spiritual abundance and grace\, is said to descend to Earth. Lighting diyas is a sacred ritual that symbolizes the purification of our inner space. The clay lamp represents the physical body\, the oil symbolizes our devotion\, and the flame represents the divine spark within. By lighting the lamp of Diwali\, we burn away the darkness of ego\, fear\, and ignorance\, allowing the pure\, untamed light of consciousness to shine through.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n. . .\nRegister\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *		\n			Donation Phone will\n			\n		\n		Phone *I will attend: *in persononlineAfternoon Talks *10/11 Glories of the Divine Mother - $25.0010/18 Intro to Vedanta - $25.0011/1 What's Holding You Back? - $25.0011/8 Diwali Stories - $25.00Additional Donation*Your tax-deductible donations help to keep these classical Yogic teachings available for humanity.Stripe Credit Card *WebsiteSubmit

SUMMARY:Diwali: Festival of Light
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINE Online registrants will be sent a Zoom link on the day of the celebration. \n5:30pm – Lakshmi Puja \nWe conclude with samosas\, chai and sparklers! \nThis is one of the most auspicious celebrations of the year. Diwali means “a row of lights”. Light your own ghee lamps or tea lights at home and join us! \nThere are various alleged origins attributed to this festival. Some hold that they celebrate the marriage of Lakshmi with Lord Vishnu. It also commemorates the day when the triumphant Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana. On this day also Sri Krishna and His wife Satya Bama killed the demon Narakasura. \nPeople forget and forgive on this day. There is an air of charity\, festivity and friendliness everywhere—a genuine sense of joy and oneness. \nSuggested donation: $25 (This event is supported 100% by donations.) \nMore about DiwaliIn a happy mood of great rejoicing\, village folk move about freely\, mixing with one another without any reserve\, all enmity being forgotten. People embrace one another with love. Diwali is a great unifying force. Those with keen inner spiritual ears will clearly hear the voice of the sages\, “O Children of God! Unite\, and love all”. The vibrations produced by the greetings of love which fill the atmosphere are powerful enough to bring about a change of heart in every man and woman in the world. Alas! That heart has considerably hardened\, and only a continuous celebration of Diwali in our homes can rekindle in us the urgent need of turning away from the ruinous path of hatred. \nO Ram! The light of lights\, the self-luminous inner light of the Self is ever shining steadily in the chamber of your heart. Sit quietly. Close your eyes. Withdraw the senses. Fix the mind on this supreme light and enjoy the real Diwali\, by attaining illumination of the soul. \nHe who Himself sees all but whom no one beholds\, who illumines the intellect\, the sun\, the moon and the stars and the whole universe but whom they cannot illumine\, He indeed is Brahman\, He is the inner Self. Celebrate the real Diwali by living in Brahman\, and enjoy the eternal bliss of the soul. \n. . . \nRegister\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastPhone *Email *How will you attend? *I will attend in person.I will attend online.Donation for Diwali *$25 suggested donation.

SUMMARY:Yantra Painting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINEOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link an hour before class. \nA yantra is a powerful meditation tool\, both through the process—plotting the mathematical structure and systematically painting it—and as a symbol of the mantra it represents. It is a manifestation of the shakti (or power) of the mantra. Meditate on the central point of the finished yantra and feel it for yourself. You have brought the yantra to life. \nDr. Robert Svoboda has said\, “Creativity showers blessings on us\, on humankind\, and on the cosmos\, for the more we encourage creativity in ourselves\, the more creative the universe itself becomes.” \nElevate your consciousness by connecting to the Divine\, the universal cosmology. \nWe begin with the Ganesha yantra\, pictured above\, carefully drawing the sacred geometry. If you have completed a Ganesha Yantra\, you are welcome to work on a planet yantra. Each planet has a mantra and yantra and very specific energy. Participants work at their own pace. No experience necessary. If you join online\, a series of screen-share diagrams will be shown to clarify each instruction. Work at your own pace. \nMaterials will be provided for onsite guests. \nIf joining online\, please have these materials ready:Paper at least 12 x 12″ (ideally cold press watercolor paper)Compass (essential to draw circles!)Straight edge with metric measurementsPencilEraserPaints (gouache is ideal) or colored pencils \n. . . \nThe instructor\, Swami Sivasankariananda\, was trained by the late Pieter Weltevrede\, who was a student of Harish Johari. \n. . . \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *Email *Phone *How did you hear about us? *Yantra Painting *Yantra Painting Workshop - $45.00Yantra Painting Workshop (sliding scale) - $35.00I will attend: *in persononline		\n			Credit hear I\n			\n		\n		Stripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:Forgiveness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, December 6  •  2:00–4:00pm \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIN PERSON or ONLINEOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link at least an hour before the workshop. \n\n\nWith Swami Sivasankariananda\, C-IAYT \nThe essence of forgiveness is the ability to be resilient when things don’t go our way. We object to the way life is and try to substitute the way we want it to be. Then we get upset that our substitution doesn’t take. Be at peace with what is. Give the next moment a chance. \nWe will look at what forgiveness is and what forgiveness is not—according to Fred Luskin\, PhD’s excellent book Forgive for Good. Examples from other people often open up some insight into our own stuckness. Perhaps you can reframe and prepare to release a stubborn story you have been telling yourself… Make space for a more authentic and beautiful you. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastPhone *		\n			Credit Email Would\n			\n		\n		Email *Forgiveness Workshop *Forgiveness Workshop - $30.00Forgiveness Workshop (sliding scale) - $20.00How would you like to attend: *In personOnlineWould you like to make an additional donation?Total$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit
