Dear Ones,

Jai Guru Dev!

What Sri Sri said today: Aug. 21

'God is Sat Chit Anand (Truth, Consciousness and Bliss). He has five karmas
(actions) – Srishti (Creation), Sthiti (Preservation), Samhara (Destruction),
Anugrah (Blessing) and Tirdhana (Veiling).
He is everywhere yet not visible. Just like air is everywhere but we feel it
only when the fan is switched on or when wind blows......'

Dear Ones,

We are pleased to announce DSN in our HOME

DSN = Divya Samaj Nirman literally translated means creating a divine society.
This course provides the first opportunity for the individual to take more
responsibility and experience the power of one's inner strength.
DSN is a rigorous and transformational course, which through a powerful
combination of yoga, special meditations, breathing techniques and group
processes, empowers participants to break through those personal barriers and
inspire in them greater social activism and responsibility. Dropping whatever
isn't serving your best interests is a completely liberating experience -
making you feel that nothing can shake you.
When you are ready for true freedom and personal empowerment, then you are
ready for DSN!

Check-in by: September 4th noon
Check-out by: September 7th night
Course starts 5 PM on September 4th and ends at 6 PM on September 7th 2009

Importance of Navaratri
"Nava" means 'nine' and "ratri" is made up of 'ra' which also means 'night' and
'tri' meaning the three aspects of our life ----- body, mind and soul.
Navaratri means the new night or the nine nights that give deep rest to the
body, mind and soul. As it takes nine months in our mother's womb before we are
born, we take these nine days to go back to our source.
There are three types of problems that may affect a person :- Physical, Mental
and Spiritual. That which gives you relief from all these difficulties is
'ratri'. "Ratri" or night relieves you of misery and brings comfort. It takes
you in its arms and helps you sleep. Even birds and animals go to sleep at
night. The night relaxes everybody, whether happy, unhappy or miserable,
everybody goes to sleep.
The Devi took nine days to rest. What was born on the tenth day was pure Love
and Devotiion.
Importance of Sankalpa & Homas
What is Homa?
Homas are ancient way of purifying the individual and collective consciousness.
Homas are offering with mantras chanted by specially trained Pandits and Veda
students from our Banglore Ashram.
They have three aspects. Deva Puja, honouring the devine in all its forms,
Sangtikarana, hastening the process of evolution by bringing together all the
elements in creation, and Dana, Sharing your blessings

Benefit of Homa ?
Chanting and listening of mantras takes us to a different Plane.
Sankalpa
The Sanklpa during Navaratri Homas and Pujas is very Powerful and brings
prosperty and peace in life. Sankalpa donation is way to contribute during the
auspicious period of Navaratri. Donation amount will be used towards building
of Ashram which is going to benefit coming generations.
