Spring into the new Season

premaria

Spring is here !!!  The days are warm, the sun is shining. An excellent  time to come out of “hibernation” and kick-start your dormant yoga practice. If you have never tried Yoga before, it is a good time to begin something new. Your first class is free! Give it a try, you might like it!!

Quote – generosity ….

premaria
“Generosity is giving more than what you can and greed is taking more than what you need.”
Swami Sivananda

GO INTO SILENCE by Swami Sivananda

premaria
Silence is Peace.
Silence is Brahman or the Absolute.
Ayam Atma Santah – this Atman is Silence.
Behind all noises and sounds is Silence – thy innermost Soul.
Silence is thy real name.
Silence strengthens thought-power.
Silence is intuitive experience.
Silence helps the intuitional Self to express itself.
To go into Silence is to become God.
Enter into Silence and become one with the Supreme Soul.
Swami Sivananda

the law of attraction…

“You sow a thought, you reap an action.
You sow an action, you reap a habit.
You sow a habit, you reap a character.  
You sow a character, you reap a destiny.”

Early Morning Beauty

Sunrise on Monday 20th May, 2013

The early bird, catches the best worm!

If you are up early, you can witness the silence of nature and get the chance to see some spectacular sunrises.  This time of the day is what Yogis refer to as “Brahma-muhurta” – the best time to meditate, when the quality of nature is pure “Sattva”.
