This month’s Program: “Practicing the Presence of God”

Presenter for this month's program: Chris Simmonds (aka Chandranath)

The spiritual journey involves the transformation of human consciousness from a small sense self to a state of unity with all; to experience oneself and all other beings and things as expressions of one source; one cosmic consciousness.

Different traditions use different methods for achieving this. In the Ananda Marga tradition we use both sitting meditation and active meditation. This active meditation is a type of mindfulness practice where one pauses briefly upon meeting others or upon commencing an action to ascribe divinity to the other or to the action.

This practice is sometimes called Guru Mantra or Madhu Vidya (honey knowledge). Developing this practice can be a challenge but many find personal ways of implementing it that become rewarding and transformative.

During this session we will ask participants to share what is working for them; how they adapt and use this practice to expand their minds and open their hearts. 

Please join us and share your story. Prepare to be inspired!
