Mauni Amavasya is an annual day dedicated to introspection; the intention is to tune to silence on all levels, so that the mind becomes calm. Mouna is more than simply not speaking. Yogis practise silence of all the indriyas, as well as fasting (silence of digestion) and digital detox (unplugging from technolgy and its constant flow of information).

Please join me, Swami Saradananda, in celebrating Sivaratri, the night of Siva. On this new-moon evening, we’ll focus on meditation and stories of Siva and Parvati, in the form of Sati. Their tale is one of devotion, sacrifice and the eternal union of Siva and Shakti.

Join me, Swami Saradananda, at the start of Navaratri, the 9-night celebration of the divine feminine. Through story and meditation, we will look at this annual festival as representative of the yoga journey.

The first stage is purification, as represented by Durga/Kali. The second, nurturing and strengthening, is personified as Lakshmi. Only when you have cleansed your negative propensities and are strong enough, are you are ready to take the final step towards the reception of the light of wisdom, as personified by Saraswati.

19 Oct, Sun, 6:30-7:30pm (London time)

The Indian Festival of Lamps comes on the darkest day, at the start of the darkest month of the year. It is a celebration of the night that Lakshmi (good-fortune) looks for her home for the coming year.

Join me, Swami Saradananda, for a talk and meditation on the self-luminous inner light of the Self that is shining steadily in the chambers of your heart.
