Seen as both wise and mischievous, Narada is a Vedic sage who traveled the three worlds singing the Lords praises, carrying news, and teaching wisdom. Narada’s Bhakti Sutras explain the process, practice, and benefits of devotion (Bhakti); and stories of the sage demonstrate how to transform our thinking habits so we can experience the relationship between Bhakti and Jnana (wisdom). This course looks at some of Narada’s sutras and stories, what they teach us, and how they take us to greater understanding and devotion.

Experiencing a fall juice and detox weekend is a very good and yogic way of starting the coming season. Juices and vegetable broth are specially made to provide the body the necessary nutrients and help cleanse the digestive system. By combining the practice of yoga and fasting, participants experience transformation not only on the physical level but also on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels. Flower essences, yoga and meditation help this process. As toxins are eliminated a new level of physical, mental and spiritual awareness unfolds. Because yoga and meditation are ideal for the spiritual aspirant when purifying through fasting, they are an important aspect of our Fasting and Detoxification Program. In addition, herbs and powders facilitate the removal of toxins from the body. When these poisons are eliminated from our system, negative emotions are also released.

Why should I detoxify? Do I need to detoxify? The body is an incredible instrument; it can handle and adjust to most situations. If the body gets overloaded with toxins it gets stressed and we become sick. Toxins are in our food, water, air, they also come as radiation from mobile phones, TVs, computers etc. To help the body restore itself to perfect health we need detoxification of the entire gastro intestinal tract and all organs, especially the liver and the kidneys. With good health we can hope to live life to the full.
