Larry Darrell returns from the battlefields of World War I to America a different person.  This is the story of one man's search for his true Self in a world of make-believe selves and make-believe purposes, with little or no desire or time to pursue a search for deeper meaning to the life they live.  We have all experienced moments of questioning who we really are and what our true purpose here is, but most of us are too busy just trying to survive, to dedicate ourselves to a serious search.  Larry is an example of the exceptions among us, the few who dedicate their lives to the search for Truth.
:) happy....Hope  to see you there.

Raja Yoga Class and Satsang
Raja Yoga is the royal yoga that brings the nature of our True Self to our awareness.  This awareness cannot be gained through perception or intellectual knowledge, it can only be known through cognition, like the knowledge that I am, that I exist, it needs no proof, but without this knowing, experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through:  
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

1595 Route 26, Vestal NY

-----------Upcoming Events----------




GONG BATH SOUND HEALING PERFORMANCE 
Thursday, January 14th
 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm 
at 
The Endicott Visitors Center
Suggested Offering: $15


This Gong Bath is based on the artwork above of which there will be an original on display.  It is based on sacred geometry and resonates with the frequency of self love.  Just by looking at Sacred geometry it bypasses the conscious mind and goes directly to the subconscious mind.  We need to love ourselves more instead of beating ourselves up over things that we believe we or someone else has done wrong.  All is in the mind.

 The frequency of Self Love helps you to give more energy and love to yourself, which enables you to be more meaningful to others.  The Gongs will carry the frequency of self love to everyone in the room and beyond.

Listeners often experience a sense of connectedness and peace as the sacred sounds of the Gongs and Bowls clear blockages and restore the free flow of vital energy throughout the body.  With its ability to induce a spontaneous meditative state, the gong offers listeners access to parts of the mind that are usually closed, resulting in a sense of expanded awareness and higher consciousness.  Sound Healing is often used to rebalance, tone and bring harmony to the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies.  If you would like to lay down, bring something comfortable to lay on. ( Mats, pillows, blankets) And let the Gongs take you away! Please make sure you are grounded before leaving, and be sure to drink water after the session.

The band’s concerts are a spiritual experience in which uplifting music is infused with healing vibrations of the ancient language of Sanskrit, which was designed to harmonize with and energize the body on the physical and astral planes. The full 5-piece band instrumentation is tabla, guitar, acoustic bass, harmonium and 3 voices (one male, two female).
