This Tuesday, June 14th is my last class before I leave to Sumer Solstice and I would like to celebrate with you my birthday...you are my dear family, brother and sister in divine, indeed you are my beautiful spiritual family. Whether you are a regular student or have attended only one class, or... simply had read my emails for a while, you are welcome to join me @ Yogadesha - 7pm.
 I'll be offering a very special class,and a Langar* -light vegetarian dish afterwards (*free* mini dinner), the food is both a beautiful way of sharing and a offering of gratitude to God for all the blessings in our life, the ones that challenges us and the ones that pleases us.
Sharing a meal also symbolize our respect for each other with a sense of inclusiveness, and our commitment to serve, inspire and spiritually "feed" each other and our community.
Come to celebrate life together!
You don't have to RSVP for the class with Yogadesha, but Kindly confirm with me your attendance so I can provide the food sufficiently.
Confirm by either sending an email, call or text message.(908-884-4984)
The cost is of a regular class, drops-in and packages are welcome.
I'm so looking forward to seeing you!

*[Langar (Punjabi: ਲੰਗਰ, Hindi: लंगर) is the term used in the Sikh religion for the free, vegetarian-only food served in
a Gurdwara. At the Langar, only vegetarian food is served to ensure that all people, regardless of their dietary restrictions, can eat as equals. Langar is open to Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike. The institution of the Sikh Langar or free kitchen was started by the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak. It was designed to uphold the principle of equality between all people regardless of religion, caste, colour, creed, age, gender or social status, a revolutionary concept in the caste-ordered society of 16th century India where Sikhism began. In addition to the ideals of equality, the tradition of Langar expresses the ethics of sharing, community, inclusiveness and oneness of all humankind. "..the Light of God is in all hearts."[4]]
[In Hinduism, food plays an important role in rituals and worship, and the food offered to the gods is called prassad. The Sanskrit word "prassad" means "mercy," or the divine grace of God. We can make the preparing of food, the offering of food to God, and the eating of the food offered, into a powerful devotional meditation. If, as a meditative discipline, we can offer our food to God with devotion before eating it, not only are we not implicated in the karma involved in acquiring the food, but we can actually make spiritual progress by eating the offered food. Our devotion, and God's grace, subtly transforms the food offered from material nutrition to spiritual mercy or prassad.] |
