Happy
Happiness means unlimited, unrestricted happiness, without any condition. That is real happiness, not if there is a condition. Our lives’ endeavors are constantly geared towards increasing happiness and reducing the distress. The result is an eternal quest for happiness, that we are never too tired to pursue and one that eludes us at every step.
Joining us this Krishna Fest is a very special Monk, Vaisesika Dasa, coming all the way from San Jose USA to share with us a life time of spiritual experiences. He has been a monk for almost 4 decades and has with him a treasure of spiritual happiness that he freely share with us. Join us for this unique opportunity to take your quest for happiness to a completely different level.
It will be an afternoon of musical performance, spiritual enlightenment accompanying a delicious feast. Join us for this not to miss opportunity at Urbanedgeyoga from 11 to 1.30 PM.
Cool things from ancient east: Happiness is there because I am spirit soul. Actually I am full of pleasure, but because my sense of happiness is being manifested through this matter, therefore we are being frustrated in deriving real pleasure.

Yet everything keeps coming to a deadlock. Expensive conferences end only in failed deals and unkept commitments. Are we building a future for the generations to come or are we borrowing what is theirs. Is there an approach perhaps we havent really evaluated ?

These sessions will also demonstrate the power and contribution of yoga towards solving world’s environmental challenges. Join us for one or all of the sessions :

Description: What better way to close your week and step into inner peace than through a combination of yoga asanas and spiritual discussions.

We offer a unique opportunity to explore the inner world of calm and tranquility through an amazing combination of Asthanga yoga followed by an intriguing discussion series on the ‘Yoga ladder’ as presented in the ancient yoga text of India – The Bhagavad Gita.

Limited spots so we request prior RSVPs. Dinner will be served at 7.45 PM.

Ashtanga Yoga means there are eight different stages, the 8th stage being samadhi. The beginning of yoga system means you have to control your senses and is called yama. The next stage is niyama or following some regulative principles. Then comes Asana the sitting postures. And when your sitting posture is correct, then you can exercise breathing or pranayama. Next is dhyana, which means meditating, then the subject matter will be fixed up in your heart. A standard yoga class generally focuses just on the postures or asana. We present to you a yoga class and a seminar that focusses on all the 8-steps of the yoga ladder. In each class you will not only get a fun asana – posture practice but also get the chance to experience yama, niyama, pranayama and dhyana !

Mantra Yoga

mantra 2

Title: Mantra Yoga
Location: 324 Bloor st west, #1
Description: According to the health department of America over 33% of American adults have serious mental problems. Yoga and meditation is being used more and more in modern life because it is proven to aid stress relief, help relaxation, and generally make people more peaceful. Whatever we are doing in this life are it is just because we want lasting happiness for our senses.

Yoga knowledge reveals that above the pleasure of the senses is the pleasure of mind.The pleasure of the mind can be in terms of finer arts like poetry, opera, literature etc. Yes, there is a thrill in achieving something significant in life like from career, job or sports. But these all come and go. This doesnt mean we should not try to do them but it means not get caught up in making the whole life revolve around this. The spiritual knowledge of the world is telling us that happiness comes from within.

Mantra is the sound vibration that frees the mind from material anxiety and disturbance and elevates it to a spiritual realm. Mantra meditation or Kirtan Yoga is the process of searching that happiness within and connecting with the source of all happiness. The happiness which is not temporary .

Join us for this 4 part series and enjoy deep musical meditations set against the ancient melodies of east sung by trained yogis and accompanied with ancient eastern instruments.

In the end of this all – dont forget the delicious vegan feast that awaits you to complete the happiness experience.

Please RSVP to reserve a spot.
