From Self Image to  Self  Discovery with Gurudev

Greetings!

bhagavan dass and gurudev

World famous Kirtan singer and self proclaimed lover of God, Bhagavan Das, visited the Amrit Yoga Institute Feb 19 - 21.  The combination of kirtan and teachings from Gurudev and Bhagavan Dass was incredibly powerful.

 

The Amrit Yoga Tent was filled to capacity as almost two hundred ecstatic participants added their voices to the celebration of the divine name.  Here is a short report from Amrit Yoga Teacher Monica Kustra.

 

"I arrived just in time to see the sun setting over Lake Kerr. This was my first journey back since I graduated from the Teacher Training Program. This time I brought a friend. My experience at kirtan was what every visit to the Amrit Yoga Institute seems to include: infectious joy, energetic dancing and chanting that completely fills you with a sense of love and well-being.  As my friend said, it felt as though "a couple layers had been peeled away."

Ayurveda and Yoga
by Gurudev
 
Gurudev in mediation

Ayurveda means "the science of life". It is the traditional natural healing system of India having been practiced over thousands of years. Its purpose is to provide a framework of health for the whole person: body, mind and spirit. As such, it deals not only with disease, but also with rejuvenation, virilization and longevity. The main tools Ayurveda utilizes to achieve health are diet, lifestyle, herbs and bodywork.

Chief among Ayurveda's outstanding attributes is the recognition of the uniqueness of each individual, thereby allowing treatment to be tailored to that individual and their environment. Ayurveda describes individuality through the use of the 3 doshas, or constitutional qualities: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Every person is born with a particular proportion of these qualities. When they are balanced within an individual, health is the result. When they are imbalanced, disease is the eventual outcome. In general, Ayurveda seeks to restore health by restoring balance.
