FEES:

DESCRIPTION:
Chanting has been used throughout history to plunge into the deepest mystery of the universe-the question of who we are beyond the surface level of existence. Many souls have aspired for God through the use of mantra or chant. The calling and yearning for God is the heart of Bhakti yoga. Sri Ramakrishna said that one can realize the Mother through intense restlessness, the restlessness that a drowning man feels for a breath of air.

 
 

About the Presenter
Kalidas

Kalidas is a yogi who has been practicing Bhakti and Karma Yoga for ten years in ashrams in the Southwest and India.

He was born in India where he lived in a small village for the first five years of his life. After coming to the United States and graduating from Vanderbilt University with a B.A., he felt a longing for a more simple Dharmic life. He revisited India, moved to the Southwest and began studying Eastern mysticism in spiritual communities, mainly Hindu and Buddhist. The next ten years helped him reconnect with the basic principles of Sanatan Dharma and recreate a sense of balance that he had lost. Based on his own life experiences, Kalidas feels that if we learn to curb our attachment to modern technology and return to the simple laws of Mother nature, we will be able to live more fulfilling lives.
