Meditation means contemplation. In this session Swami Govindananda will give definition to three great illusions that shape our life’s experience, then he will guide us in meditating on their true meaning and significance. A genuine opportunity to take valuable time out for the one who matters most: you.

Five thousand years ago, 88,000 Paramahansa Masters gathered before the renowned Guru Suta Ji. They asked him, ‘In this Iron Age where human life span is short and the ability to focus greatly diminished, what is the best meditation practice for today’s times?’ In this session Swami Govindananda will pass on to you his answer and set you on the pathway to self fulfilment and understanding through meditation.

In yoga studios around the world Kirtan Chanting is becoming more and more popular. There is one important ingredient that needs to be added to this blossoming practice to give it a more genuine spiritual benefit and that is learning where to focus the mind while chanting. Join Swami Govindananda for an hour of Kirtan chanting as he shows you how to do this. A session that not only soothes the soul but brings strength and beauty to your mind also.

Spiritual life is not a luxury but a necessity. We often hear, ‘Its not what happens in your life, but how you respond to it that matters.’ How you respond depends largely on what you understand about yourself and the world around you.Helping you deepen this understanding is the real value of living a yogic life. As your yogic life becomes integrated with your everyday life, you will notice benefits in all aspects, including sense of self, life purpose, relationship with others, and connection to the world.
