Description: Is meditation about blanking out the mind or could it be that meditation opens up windows to deep felt emotions we are not even aware of? What happens to our deep felt desires when we take to a life of meditation – are we supposed to let go our ambitions and desires ? How to deal with our heart’s deepest emotions while treading forward on a path of meditation.

Join us for an evening of soothing candle light meditation and delicious vegan dinner

Every Wednesday evening of April we are inviting those excited to practice Kirtan, the art of mantra meditation. Kirtan is especially close to us at Bhakti Lounge as it is the gateway to a transcendental dimension, as well as the glue that holds members together. Kirtan is call and response singing and chanting. In the circle you will find that everyone grabs an instrument, so feel free to bring an instrument and add your own flare to the groups dynamic. Free your inhibitions, your mind and uplift your soul. It is a powerful practice that is sure to stir the heart and change your mind. REMEMBER! Along with musical meditation there is a vegan dinner. No festivity is complete without the sharing of food.

Description: Do I have past lives ? If so, what did I do in my past lives ? Is there a future life – what determines future lives. And irrespective of whether I had past lives – how does it matter today, as I anyways don’t remember anything ? Or is it possible that I remember something ? Is it possible that my past life left a mark on me somewhere ? Am I just coping with the shadow of many past lives ?

Coping with the inexplicable shadow of our past is a difficult feat without proper knowledge even in this life; a process of coming to terms that can leave us feeling very alone. What to say about coming to terms with past lives. Explore the world of Bhagavad Gita and its systematic presentation on life, past life and future life and the shadows that we live with. There is hope. Come to eat, sing and learn from the point of view of our soul. Allow yourself to be swept away into the one constant in life worth keeping- mantra meditation, the art of pure love.

Description: Let Mantra Meditation prove that it doesn’t take dream manipulation for an idea to have an immediate effect on our consciousness. Whether you are experienced in meditation or if it is your first time, the Bhagavad Gita friday night class is a reminder that cultivating higher consciousness is the purpose of human life. Learn how to ease your anxieties, relax into the quiet confidence that is waiting for you in self realization. Learn the art and science of engaging the soul. We spend our lives trying to forget and make dreams about what life could be. Bhagavad Gita teaches the culture of being awake and realizing those very dreams.
