SUMMARY:Satsang in the Temple of All Religions
DESCRIPTION:Satsang in the Temple of All Religions\n5 August 2017\, with Brahmachari Jemal \n“Next to meditation\, the most important thing is satsang\, good company. Among devotees a subtle magnetism is exchanged that gives to the strong as well as the weak added strength to maintain their calmness in the midst of daily activities.” — Swami Kriyananda \n“Group meditation is a castle which protects its new spiritual aspirants as well as the veteran meditators. Meditating together increases the degree of Self-realization in each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of spiritual magnetism.” — Paramhansa Yogananda \nStarting about 10:30 am\, we’ll have a period of chanting\, group meditation\, satsang and then more group meditation\, all in our new “Temple of All Religions.”  Satsang is an ancient spiritual tradition; Yogananda translated it as “fellowship with truth.” This series of satsangs is offered roughly once a month by the Ananda Pune monks\, on a spiritually-related topic chosen by the leader. This month Brahmachari Aditya will lead the satsang. \nAfterwards all participants are welcome to stay\, ask questions\, see Swami Kriyananda’s house and the other landmarks at Ananda Kriya Yogashram\, and also to stay for lunch from 1-2 pm. \n“I’ve been attending these satsangs since the first one in Dec ’16\, and every time I’ve attended\, I’ve received directions\, answers to some really trying dilemmas\, guilt\, etc. It’s been as if the Masters are listening\, and through these channels\, guiding me. I also find that my meditations are very deep here.”—KM\, Pune \nALL ARE WELCOME. FREE ENTRY. \nFor more information call 9011069792 or email retreat@anandaindia.org

SUMMARY:Yoga for Building Strength and Flexibility
DESCRIPTION:Meditation & Ananda Yoga for Beginners:\nYoga for Building Strength and Flexibility\nwith Latha & Acharya Dharana\, 19-20 August 2017 \n“Yoga is an art as well as a science. It is a science\, because it offers practical methods for controlling body and mind\, thereby making deep meditation possible. And it is an art\, for unless it is practiced intuitively and sensitively it will yield only superficial results. The essence of Yoga is the silence and receptivity that the practice of the techniques induce in the mind.” \n“The soul loves to meditate\, for in contact with the Spirit lies its greatest joy.”  —  Paramhansa Yogananda \nMeditation is one of the most natural and yet profoundly rewarding of all human activities.

Ananda Yoga is an excellent practice as a preparation for meditation\, to help make your meditations deeper and longer. \nDuring this program you will learn: \n\nHow\, why\, when & how long to meditate\nHow to sit comfortably\, even for long meditations\nTwo classic methods to still the mind\, & how they combine in the technique taught by Yogananda\nThe value and practices of prayer & chanting for deepening meditation\n\nYou will also learn yoga routines to: \n\nBuild flexibility of body and mind\nUnlock blockages and balance the flow of energy\nCalm your heart & emotions to experience even mindedness\nDevelop inner strength and stillness\n\nAbout Latha: Latha is passionate about inspiring students to deepen their practice and learn yoga in a safe and enjoyable way. A Yoga Alliance certified Ananda Yoga teacher with over a decade of teaching & practicing\, and a certified Coach from the International Coach Federation (ICF)\, she brings a very encouraging and practical approach to her classes. \nAbout Acharya Dharana: Dharana served in Ananda Palo Alto (California)\, Ananda Assisi (Italy) and Ananda India\, before becoming the sole resident Acharya at Ananda Kriya Yogashram in 2015.
