Peace is the most covetable possession on earth.  It is the greatest treasure in all the universe.

 – Swami Sivananda

Emotions to Devotion

Bhakti yoga is a natural path for those who are dominantly seeking emotional fulfillment, and desire to convert worldly emotions into Divine devotion. The devotee visualizes the Lord sitting or standing before him/her.

He/she pours out her heart’s love, adoration, and shares his/her deepest thoughts and concerns with the Lord until a continuous flow of awareness moves between devotee and his/her beloved Lord.

This continuous flow of love brings about a a close relationship with God and culminates in Divine Union in which the worshiper and that which is worshiped become One.

Mantras

A “Mantra” is a mystical spiritual energy encased in a sound structure. At its simplest, the word Om serves as a mantra.

In more sophisticated forms, they are melodic phrases with spiritual rendition such as human longing for truth, reality, light, immortality, peace, love, knowledge and action.

Sacred Sound

Mantras, as sacred sounds, are known to affect our vibratory being and consciousness as the word mantra itself means both protection and instrument.

 

Kirtan

“Kirtan is singing the Divine name, with feeling. Such singing has a benign effect on both the physical and subtle bodies. It is an excellent method of soothing the nerves and directing the emotions to a positive goal. Kirtan melts the heart, fills the mind with purity and generates harmony and divine love.”

– Swami Sivananda

Rituals

The experience of mantra and chanting are best when accompanied by ritual.  Ritual, in the very way that it is performed –the same time each day, also mirrors the rhythmic quality of mantra or the universe’s ebbs and flows.

Without sound encompassed in ritual that it is difficult to release the accumulation of psychic toxicity in our spiritual system.

Positive Thinking Courses

Our thoughts create our actions which create our habits which create our character which creates our destiny

One of the main reason of stress is our negative feeling and thoughts. Negativities are prevalent nowadays in our busy, fast pace life. Our interactions with others seem to be more negative than bringing comfort and joy and positive thinking.

Our minds are saturated and our sensitivity numbed by an overload of information and the confusion and despair that comes from media over-saturation. In this atmosphere, it is difficult for us to access our innate positive and joyful nature, and to remember the goodness of people and the grace of God.

Having lost faith, we doubt our path and worry about where the world is going and what will become of us. We need to see clearly and take a break from the business of life to recharge and reconnect with the beauty and meaning of life. We cannot change the external, but we can change our outlook about it by starting to practice Positive Thinking.

Positive overcomes negative

We cannot redo the past and it is not helpful to worry about the future; but we can live in the solid present and make the best of it.

In these Positive Thinking courses and retreats there will be workshops and lectures specifically on:

  • the power of thoughts
  • how to be in the present
  • how to turn negative feelings and thoughts to positive feelings
  • Also, how to manage stress and respond positively to challenges.
