Paramhansa Yogananda
 |
Teach me, O Spirit, by meditation to stop the storm of breath, mental restlessness, and sensory disturbances raging in the lake of my mind. Let the magic wand of my intuition stop the gale of passions and unnecessary desires, and in the rippleless lake of my mind let me behold the undistorted reflection of the moon of my soul, glistening with the light of Thy presence.
--Paramhansa Yogananda |
Greetings!

Learn to Meditate for inner peace, health, and as a profound spiritual practice
 How is your meditation practice? Is it as strong as you'd like it to be? Would you benefit from taking a fresh look at the basics? Did you know that if you took your original Learn to Meditate class here, you can repeat it again for FREE?
A solid practice starts with a good habit. Like everything else that we do in life that we know is "good for us," the actual doing is the most important step.
If you need help re-establishing your practice, or if you're new to meditation, Raghu & Sabari are here to help.
The 4-week series begins Wednesday, April 7 at 7 pm

Create Material Success Through Yoga Principles
The Material Success class resumes this week with chapter 11, Practicality in Investments.
Nayaswami Kriyananda states, "The most important investment to keep at your command is your own energy, mental as well as physical. All human energy is mental primarily. I've quoted my Guru heretofore as saying,
"The greater the will power, the greater the flow of energy."
Discuss this topic in depth with Raghu & Sabari Thursday at 7 pm

Ananda Yoga
Ardha Matsyendrasana or Half Spinal Twist
 |
Physically the half spinal twist adjusts the vertebrae and exercises the spine, making it more limber. It beneficially stimulates all the trunk organs - kidneys, liver and spleen.
Spiritually, if you can relax in the pose, you may notice that the energy is being forced up the spine to the region of the heart. This will help you cultivate the heart qualities of compassion, generosity and unconditional love.
The affirmation for this pose is:
I radiate love and goodwill to soul friends everywhere
Ananda Yoga is practiced Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 6 pm and Saturday mornings at 9 am. Feel free to drop in to any class. Cost is $10 per class.
