Realize the True Vision of Yourself

Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center Los Angeles 3741 West 27th Street, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Virtuous qualities such as generosity, forgiveness, mercy, tolerance, adaptability, courage, patience, a balanced state of mind, and Cosmic Love should be assiduously cultivated. Compassion is the attitude of the mind which impels one to help all creatures who are afflicted. Love is the greatest healing power in the world. It is Love that sustains life.

Join Swami Dharmananda for this weekend series of workshops dedicated to cultivating positive virtues to realize the ideal vision of yourself. Special attention will be given on how to overcome the negative emotions of guilt, shame, and anger.
