Better living through fire &
meditation, increasing prosperity & connecting to the Mother
Divine...
Come charge and decharge your soul fires in Bonny Doon!
(Holy Womb Process people, this will be the night to do the yantra
process in the fire if you want to do it as a group.)
To receive the maximum
benefit and healing from the homa fires, and because of the
super-intense energies involved, it's highly advisable on the actual
day of the homa to eat vegetarian food only and stay away from
intoxicants.
WHAT'S A FIRE HOMA!?? This and other
questions answered on the
Homa FAQ page.
Questions?: 831/ 425-3234
What to bring:
Be sure to dress for current outdoor conditions - spring's here, the
weather can be unpredictable -- chilly, and layers are your friends
after the sun goes down. Blankets, shawls & sweaters are implicated!
If it's too cold or wet outside, we'll do the fire homa indoors.
It is also a good idea to bring a cushion to sit on. And of
course -- roses &
snacks...!
Come be part of healing &
blessing: lend your voice to bring the divine through song!

Charging & decharging through the powerful energy of the New
Moon
Better living through fire & meditation, increasing prosperity &
connecting to the Mother Divine...
Come charge and decharge your soul fires in Bonny Doon!
Come enjoy the healing power of the fire element, at a Vedic fire
ceremony (homa, or yagyam). Using the power of the new moon
(when the moon is dark) to help decharge whatever stress,
strain, anxiety, dis-ease, and overwhelm, you'll find a rapid
release and relief in your life -- leaving you free to create
beautiful activities or maintain balance in your everyday life.
The ancient saints of India kept their sacred
fires burning continually, as a way of helping purify the
atmosphere and the consciousness in this world. One fire homa is
roughly the equivalent of a month's worth of focused meditation,
to the soul -- it's a huge charging up, a strengthening, of our
soul fires.

About The Sai Shakti Satsang
Sai Shakti Satsang includes some sacred song (bhajan) singing,
peaceful & uplifting healing meditation, followed by a group
discussion around a spiritual subject...
Jonathan & Alx share knowledge, insights, and spiritual healing
energy from this 'new ancient tradition' of Shirdi Sai Baba & his
lineage of healing saints, leading to a group question-and-answer
discussion to create sat-sang (literally, 'divine truth in a group
setting').
New! Join Sai Shakti Satsang by phone from anywhere in the
world!
You can also join Sai Shakti Satsang by
remote conference call - send an email to
the
UCBK Temple if you'd like to be included in UCBK's notification
emails (including the phone number and access code).
"I'm happily
applauding and promoting your Thursday night satsang-over-the-phone. I
am literally amazed, impressed and inspired that the Divine
knowledge can be so wonderfully, skillfully and thoroughly presented
and shared over the phone... "
-- C.M., Palo Alto, CA
"As the call progressed I realized that my self-doubt and
fear is part of the process of going to a deeper level.
When the two of you spoke of how when you realized that "the energy
is running in YOU" ... and that we're not going to India to sit in
his lap, that it's about communicating on an internal level, I
thought, "that's what started to happen to me. WOW!!!!!! OH MY GOD!"
A step towards clarity. That's why I'm going to Penukonda in
February.
I want to start to harvest this strange surge of energy that he's
opened up for me and to THINK on it. Instead of running around here
in New York like a lunatic."
-- V.J., New York
Why is a group dynamic so important, and a fundamental part of
any serious spiritual undertaking?
One part of the answer lies in a mysterious concept called
'protection circles,' the soul (and angelic) layers of support and
mystical protection that are developed any time more than one or two
people come together to share spiritual practice.
There is a compelling story about a group of Japanese monks
meditating at the time the United States dropped the atomic bomb on
the Japanese city of Hiroshima -- IN Hiroshima. The whole city was
reduced to fire and ash but their monastery kept standing and the
whole group of monks was unharmed by the explosion and subsequent
radiation.
Why? Protection circles, because they were
meditating together as a group.
There really is no substitute for group experience, group spiritual
practice, and the support that can be found in a spiritual
community. A group can advance spiritually in a rapid way,
where an individual is more likely to get stuck and flounder.
The satsang experience, on a weekly basis, reminds people who are
committed to living a spiritual life about the importance of
meditation, healing, inspiration, support, love, understanding and
compassion on a day-to-day level, as a practical function of
spiritual discipline. It gives everyone a chance to go deeper into
their spiritual practice and meditation experiences, and to ask
questions along the way about the different stages and adventures of
spiritual life.
You can find out more about this expression of 'groupism' by
checking out
Alx' blog.
Alx & Jonathan returned to Santa
Cruz in March 2005, after spending seven years studying in India.
Their training was/is in intense spirituality and healing techniques
from a Shiva-Shakti** tradition with the miracle healing lineage
(Guru Parampara) of Shirdi Sai Baba, Jesus Christ, and other
luminous saints.
**Shakti - 1)
high powerful divine energy. 2) the Feminine divine force,
expressed as the principle of creation. 3) part of the mechanism
of miracles. 4) another name for the Divine Mother or Goddess.
