This is an outreach event taking place at Fremont Hindu Temple, Saraswati Hall, 3676 Delaware Dr, Fremont, CA 94538. All are welcome.
For ages, Yogis and sages of all traditions have discovered that the key to happiness lies not in creating the perfect world outside but in mastering one’s own mind. Success in all endeavors is dependent on our ability to concentrate our energies, and to respond to adversities with calmness.
Those that have tried any form of mindfulness will quickly learn that the mind is inextricably tied to the body and the senses that are directed outwards, and are constantly churning waves of restlessness.
The secret lies in working with the energy in our spine. Kriya Yoga, an advanced system of meditation, brought to the west by Paramhansa Yoganada does exactly that.
Yogananda taught Kriya Yoga as part of a comprehensive spiritual path that includes other meditation techniques, along with discipleship to the lineage of Kriya Gurus.
In addition to a lecture, the evening will include some devotional chanting, guided experiences and a 15 min meditation at the end. The actual Kriya technique is given through in-person initiation, and only after establishing a regular daily practice of meditation
First time participants will receive a hard copy of Yogananda’s “Autobiography of a Yogi” as a welcome gift, and also the digital book “The science of Kriya yoga” as a pdf. RSVP below to claim your free copy.
These events have been made possible through sponsorship from the Ananda Janaka foundation
