Greetings!,

It's been a few months since we've put out a newsletter (I've been satisfying my writing/sending need via the Vedic Thought for the Day), but there are a few things going on that I want to let you know about.

 

First of all, I'm very excited to announce that we will be offering a new advanced course, the first chapter of which will be presented the last weekend of June. We're calling it, simply, "A Course in Vedic Knowledge." This is a live course of some 8-10 hours of instruction in which we will begin to lay the foundation of an understanding of the Vedic world view. Please see below for a full description and instruction as to how to sign up.

 

This course is recommended to anyone who wishes to expand their understanding of the Vedic world view, and who wishes to take a next step in their commitment to leading a life of joy and productivity, based in this practice of Vedic meditation.

 

Also, on the evening of Sunday June 26, we will be presenting a free talk by my dear friend and colleague, Damian Hagglund, a master of Ayurveda and one of the preeminent practitioners of marma therapy--Vedic pressure point healing and clearing--in the world.If you have any interest in self-healing, don't miss this talk. The information you will receive is priceless. Damian's talk will begin at 6:00 p.m., and we will have an intro talk immediately following the talk at 7:00. Come for the whole evening and bring a friend. Click here for more information, and to RSVP.

 

If you are not receiving the Vedic Meditation Thought for the Day emails and would like to, please click through and subscribe.

 

Thank you all for your support, of me as a teacher, of our great community of meditators and of this extraordinary practice of meditation we have been so fortunate to receive. If there's anything we can do to help you in your practice, please don't hesitate to be in touch.

 
Love and Jai Guru Deva,

Jeff

A Course in Vedic Knowledge

ACVKwith
Jeff Kober

The Veda, the base of teachings from which our meditation practice comes, is a vast storehouse of knowledge and information, a basic understanding of which will improve one's practice of meditation and build up one's capacity for correction of the intellect. Taken together, these are the tools necessary to have the life of our dreams, a life of peace, prosperity and happiness.

 

We are happy to announce we will be offering a new advanced course, the first chapter of which will be presented Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 24-26. We're calling it, simply, A COURSE IN VEDIC KNOWLEDGE. This is a live course of some 8-10 hours of instruction in which we will begin to lay the foundation of an understanding of the Vedic world view.

 

Course participants will learn to access the wisdom that is available within the movement of the laws of nature, and thereby how to embrace one's evolution at any given moment. We will get an overview of the Veda and its structure that will help us to continue our studies. We will explore the origins of the Sanskrit language and the beginnings of a vocabulary of Vedic ideas, as well as much more

 

In addition, the weekend will include the teaching of an advanced technique that will expand your experience of meditation.

 

This course is highly recommended to anyone who wishes to expand their understanding of the Vedic world view, and who wishes to take a next step in their commitment to leading a life of joy and productivity. The course also is itself a prerequisite for anyone desiring to become a teacher in our tradition, and for our other advanced course, MASTERING THE SIDDHIS, the first part of which will be presented in August.

 

There are no prerequisites for the course, other than that you be a meditator in our tradition. The cost for the weekend will be $600, which price will include meals, refreshments and the advanced technique.

 

For more information and to register,

I AM NOT I

I am not I.

I am this one

Walking beside me whom I do not see,
Whom at times I manage to visit,
And at other times I forget.
The one who remains silent when I talk,
The one who forgives, sweet, when I hate,
The one who takes a walk when I am indoors,
The one who will remain standing when I die.
