Summer and Fall Yoga for Peace Tour Update
Prema's update is complete, she has her entire new bonnet and is mechanically strong - what a lovely and loyal set of feet she is! I was able to return to the Ashram in time for the Advanced Yoga Teacher Training graduation and engaged with the 28 beautiful souls that have now gone back into the world to share their love with these new gifts, and to attend some of the big 18th annual Vedic Astrology Conference weekend program. What an amazing group. And the staff here, they are a joy. Of course all of us have our challenges, the gift with Ashram life is that in a place like this all of our challenges come to the fore - the living is communal and tough, it is a disciplined lifestyle and the mind does not like discipline! Everything that bedevils us comes up to the surface for us to deal with it in our own self. What helps is that there is a living teaching, support from senior sadhakas and swamis, and beneficial practices. Karma goes fast in an Ashram, it comes and if we can release it also lets go. When we say that karma is "burned off" then an Ashram can be likened to a furnace. I bow to all of the Ashramites for submitting themselves day in and day out in spite of the challenges, for serving so beautifully (all are volunteers here), for supporting the guests and students that come to the Ashram to work out their own karma and to learn how to live more in alignment with the divine Truth. Amazing.
And now, with Guru's grace, Prema and I start this new tour. We plan to travel through about 25 states and to offer various programs including Silent Weekend Retreats ("Be Still and Know"), sharing Positive Thinking workshops, Stress Relief and Relaxation days and various Satsangs and get-togethers to discuss the practical aspects of a spiritual life - How to Find and Live in Peace and Happiness. Yes, even in this age it is possible!
Please check the schedule, offer it to your friends, I would love to see you and support you however I can along the way - this is for you. All programs are free - or donation if you offer - and all are invited to join. Also please do suggest anyplace that you would like to see me visit. Thank you, bless you, hope to see you soon!
