During our One-Year Celebration weekend, we would like to offer a kirtan in honor of a very special holiday in India called Diwali!Diwali, also known as "The Festival of Lights," is a special celebration in India that marks the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It commemorates the day when Rama returned to his kingdom in Ayodhya with his wife Sita after defeating the demon king Ravana. After the great battle, villagers lit tea lights along their path to guide their way home.
While kirtan is beautiful to listen to and participate in, the focus is on the essence behind the words, the intention while singing, and the influence it has on our consciousness. At its core, kirtan is a powerful ancient spiritual practice that, when approached with an open mind and heart, has the ability to attune us to a greater reality.
During this hour, we will sing devotional chants dedicated to Lord Rama and other of the East, interspersed with periods of short guided meditations. All you need to bring is an open mind and heart; please bring your own cushion if you prefer to sit on the floor; chairs will also be provided.
This event is by donation, so feel free to invite your friends! All are welcome.
This event will be held at East West Books & Gifts. Address is 110 3rd Ave. N. Edmonds, WA 98020
