 Sat Yoga Announcements Sat Yoga Earthbag Presentation
 Tonight at 7:00pm Ajata, Sat, and Shivani, who recently attended a workshop on sustainable building practices, will give a presentation on what they learned from their experience. These creative and natural designs may be the future of building, and we may be utilizing this knowledge to continue our housing projects at the ashram. We hope you will join us for this insightful and thought-provoking presentation on ecologically sound construction methods.

Pragya-culture: The Integral Yoga
 This month at the Sat Yoga Institute, we will be journeying from Prakasha to Pragya. Pragya is Sanskrit for divine wisdom, and to inaugurate our Pragya-culture class, we will be studying The Integral Yoga by Sri Aurobindo. A deeply profound and insightful thinker in the yogic tradition, Sri Aurobindo has played the roles of social/political activist, mystic, and spiritual leader, creating a unique spiritual lineage that eclectically combines the subtlest of spiritual knowledge with a path designed to get one to the highest state of one's spiritual potentials.
The Integral Yoga is replete with essays on spiritual practice, or sadhana, which will guide aspirants through all of the "chutes and ladders" of the spiritual path. This book will serve as a wonderful introduction to the work and profound wisdom of one of India's most important thinkers.

Upcoming Sat Yoga Spiritual Retreats!
There are still two more retreats left this year to help you maximize your spiritual potentials, transform yourself alongside other spiritual seekers, and rest peacefully in the bliss of your Real Self.
Gratitude is the key that opens the door of divine grace. In these dark times, we need a space of silence and sacredness where we can gratefully and humbly acknowledge the sublime magic and majesty of life as a miraculous manifestation of the Supreme. Open to the general public.
Contribution: from $975 - $1500

New Teaching by Shunyamurti
Occupy the Heart!
No doubt it is news to no one that planet Earth is in a period of escalating interlocking crises. We need a response that addresses all the hidden as well as the obvious dimensions of these crises-before they spin out of control into irretrievable chaos. (For the moment, let us leave aside the geophysical crises, including climate change, increasing seismic activity, and the ozone holes, as well as pollution, radiation poisoning, mass extinctions of species, increasing solar flare activity, and the like. They cannot be dealt with effectively so long as the current political system endures.) The system is in process of collapsing of its own weight, its own internal contradictions. At the same time, spontaneous social movements are arising on a global scale that are confronting the system and increasing the level of stress to the breaking point. Our concern is to assure the optimal outcome of this titanic face-off.
The crisis we face at the sociopolitical level is one of legitimacy of authority. The OWS movement (Occupy Wall Street) and the Indignado movement in Spain and other anti-austerity movements all over Europe, following on the so-called Arab Spring, not to mention student movements and general protest movements in many parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, are simultaneously rising to a crescendo...

Killing the "Me" Softly with God's Song
Life has been intense for all of us: searching for happiness amidst a background of suffering and lostness, trying to find meaning in a world in which the dominant paradigm denies any higher meaning to life, and just under the surface of all appearances lies an intense feeling of anxiety--an ineluctable recognition that one is living an inauthentic existence. And the reason for this, as spiritual teachers have told us since times immemorial, is that we are living an inauthentic existence, identified with a false construct, a "me" that is divorced from both reality and the Real. And, as Shunyamurti pointed out, the "me" is our "Mortal Enemy." The Sat Yoga Intensive was therefore designed to destroy that mortal enemy, softly, with the song of God.
