“You are the architect of your own fate. You are the master of your own destiny. You can do and undo things. You sow an action and reap a tendency. You sow a tendency and reap a habit. You sow a habit and reap your character. You sow your character and reap your destiny. Therefore, destiny is your own creation. You can undo it if you like – destiny is a bundle of habits.” —Swami Sivananda

Habits can shape the paths of our lives. They can be very difficult to change once they are well established. Yoga has many tools to help us break bad habits and form positive ones. This program will examine various yogic techniques to support us to eradicate old and bad habits and to establish new, healthy and good habits.

Spend the night in celebration of Lord Siva. It marks a remembrance of “overcoming darkness and ignorance” in life and the world. The night long celebration serves as a penance. Throughout the night the chanting, prayers, and stories will serve as a means to break free from certain conditions we may have and uplift our consciousness. The practices help us focus the mind on God and create a lasting effect on our bodies, minds, and energy levels.

The event begins at 8 PM and will continue throughout the night and into the following morning.

Accommodations

Free entrance to the ceremony. Welcome to all.

For those wishing to spend the night at the Ashram, please register down below to book an accommodation.

Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of devotion and love. It is a transformative practice that allows our negative emotions to take a new form and to evolve into pure, unconditional and universal love.

The path of Bhakti Yoga includes different practices such as chanting, hearing of uplifting stories, seeing the good in all, serving others and cultivating love for all humanity.

Take this opportunity to explore different practices and find simple ways to apply those practices in your daily life!
