H. P. Blavatsky’s “The Voice of The Silence” ~ Insights & Understanding   ​
Picture
             Presentation & Discussion      
                                Friday. Sept 15,  7:30 to 9PM

Madame Blavatsky (1831 –1891) was a mystic, author and co-founder of the Theosophical Society. She was widely respected (though partly controversial).  Her last book, translated from the same esoteric source of her ‘Secret Doctrine’ book, was titled 'The Voice of The Silence' and is a guide for students on the path of spiritual awakening.  This presentation will facilitate the practical understanding of this book, called “one of the most remarkable books in our Theosophical literature” by C. W. Leadbeater. This presentation is offered from the vantage point of my 45 years of experiences in the study and practices of Vedic teachings, yoga and meditation. My insights are augmented by other writings of the early leaders of the Theosophical Society.

Picture
 a 2.5  hour sampler of my most popular mantra workshop
Sunday, Sept 17, 10 am to 12:30 pm

The Vedas, Upanishads, Yogic texts and teachings from advanced mystics of many traditions describe specific attributes and experiences involving the inner journey to discover extraordinary benefits awaiting within the 8 petalled Hrit Padma chakra, also known as The Sacred Heart.  This workshop focuses on the experiences, techniques and benefits of the mantra & yogic path to the Sacred Heart’s Inner Chamber.  

This workshop teaches:
  • The benefits of attunement to the Hrit Padma (Sacred Heart) the 8 petal chakra near the Anahata (Heart) Center 
  • About the Atman & the Ishta-Devata forms of the Divine
  • The specific attributes within the Sacred Heart
  • Dozens of mantras to attune to the Hrit Padma including rarely taught mantras from the Maha Nirvana Tantra
  • Basic practices and advanced mantra disciplines.
  • Hrit Padma teachings from several religions, mystics and some contemporary yoga teachers.
Includes detailed handout & recording of all workshop mantras

“Progress towards realizing the contents of the Sacred Heart does not involve ‘heart-centered’ thinking, feeling or mood-making; and is not accomplished by loud chanting of externally focused mantras. … “The taste and the fuller realization of the Inner Chamber of the Sacred Heart is experiential, and is found on the other side of incredible peace and a vast inner expansion of the fullness of consciousness & joy which dissolves all boundaries.” Bill Francis Barry

Mantras Toward Invincibility 
Sun. Sept 17, 1:30pm to 5:00pm
​
In our pursuit of benevolent goals, we can become invincible! Daily mantra practice can greatly empower our lives when that practice is aligned with dharma (universal forces) & guided by sattvic (spiritual) intentions.   Our efforts to succeed, in all aspects of our lives, can gain very  powerful support through mantras.
 
This workshop provides guidance on which mantras & forms of mantra practice are appropriate are optimal to each person’s situation. 


 Mantra teachings in this workshop includes:​
  • The Bala Atibala mantra for strength (super-strength) of body, mind & spirit.
  • Sudarshana Chakra Mantras. Sudarshana means ‘auspicious vision’. The Sudarshana Chakra, the disc of Vishnu, is the power of the enlightened mind which defeats all ignorance, all evil.​
  • Protection Mantras
  • The Pancha Dasi Mantra with a focus on inner spiritual awakenings.
  • Options for basic or advanced mantra practices.
  • A mantra in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana to aid in attaining the 4 aims of life: Artha (wealth), Kama (fulfillment), Dharma (virtue) and Moksha (liberation). 
  • A Subramanyan Mantra to support “auspicious outcomes”.
  • Mantras associated with the Kaustubha Gem (a state of  consciousness where the spoken word (as Satya Sankalpa) is empowered by dharma (divine law) . 
  • Which mantra practices are rajasic or sattvic, and why this difference is important.
  • Several less commonly taught Ganesha mantras to help us achieve our goals.
    Includes detailed handout & recording of all workshop mantras

A goal of this workshop is to maximize access to the full power of each mantra, guided by knowledge from respected traditions, advanced yogis and reliable scholarship.
