Ghanasāravilepa — The One Anointed with Camphor. Khadyota — The Luminous One, the Light of the Sky

Ghanasāravilepa — The One Anointed with Camphor. Khadyota — The Luminous One, the Light of the Sky

Camphor, with its fragrance and association with sacred offering, opens a contemplation of purification. Light invites us to consider the consciousness that is not extinguished by difficulty, grief, or change. What becomes visible when we cease to mistake the covering for the whole of what we are?

Join us for a short dharma talk, Kriya Yoga meditation, and group prayer to use our spiritual energies to soften the karmas of earthlings.

May the infinite peace of Life flow to you. Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
