SWAMI NIRVANANDA IN CONCERT

SUN AUG 10 7 PM DONATION

"I cried for the first half and danced the second. A sweet, direct experience that stayed with me, and that I remember to this day." --Michele Bollo

Merging the teachings of Kriya Yoga with the devotional aspect of Bhakti Yoga and the charitable path of Karma Yoga, Swami expresses unity in the diversity of many paths and religions, all leading to the same goal: Universal Love and Oneness with Spirit.

Everything in the universe is growing and changing. The physical body needs healthy food, air, water and light; the mind needs positive and creative thinking; so also the soul needs some nourishment: devotion, praise and love for God.

Devotion is the true humus where faith can grow, where consciousness and bliss can spread, where peace can live. Chanting creates peace for the heart, mind and soul of every living being. Only the soul who loves God will find eternal joy.

LOKAH SAMASTAH SUKHINO BHAVANTU
(Katha Upanishad)
"May all beings in all the worlds be happy"
"Possano tutti gli esseri dell'universo essere felici"
"Mögen alle Wesen in allen Welten glücklich sein
