Greetings Family and Friends,
There is Consciousness. Consciousness is an “ISness.” Consciousness is not only the source of all things it is all things. When we speak of awakening, we are talking about a state in which we are one with the Consciousness that IS. This Consciousness has manifested itself as fully awake beings for the benefit of all who fall asleep. Christ Consciousness is a Spiritual way to speak of this. Krishna Consciousness is another. This weekend we celebrate the birth of Shri Krishna, who represents the embodiment of Divine Consciousness on Earth for the benefit of all beings.
Please consider chanting, “Oṁ Lokaḥ Samastaḥ Sukhino Bhavantu,” at 9 times daily, or as much as possible, to help our world through these challenging times.
Let’s chant together for peace, for healing, and for life.

ABOUT THE MUSIC OF YOGA
Kirtan is a spiritual service with five parts that is found in the path of Bhakti Yoga. One of the parts is the chanting of Sanskrit healing and empowerment mantras and the singing of devotional songs called bhajans. Kirtan is a musically guided meditation practice. Practicing this yoga calms the mind, relaxes the body and energizes the Spirit. Reciting mantra with a devotional attitude, especially the singing of bhajans, has a calming effect on the brain, quieting the mind so that we can experience the opening of our hearts, allowing us to taste the blissful reality that is our true nature.

Come dive into the depths of your own heart in this safe, supportive environment. No previous yoga, meditation or singing experience is necessary to participate.

Practice is led by Dayākar Dās who is a Certified Ashtanga Yoga Teacher and practitioner of 32 years, who has been teaching meditation and leading kirtan for over two decades.
