Raja Yoga 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, the experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through:  
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

We are pleased to welcome Blue Spirit Wheel (BSW) on their 2015 Kirtan tour for an evening of sublime mantras and thumping grooves.  BSW based in Atlanta, GA, is a progressive evolution in the world of mantra music.  Based on the fundamental rhythms contained within the Sanskrit language, the band uses solid bass grooves, tribal drum beats, and an improvisational vocal style to create soundscapes that draw the listener into a deep state of meditation and consciousness expansion.  The audience is invited to participate by chanting simple mantras along with the music, interact with the sounds through dance and movement, and enter a receptive space where the vibrations of the Sanskrit can create profound transformation.
