guru purnima: sunday, 17 july 2011
please remember that we will be celebrating guru purnima this SUNDAY, 18 JULY. guru purnima is the day in which we celebrate and give thanks to our teachers and lineage of gurus, and also when we reflect and review our progress on our spiritual path and renew our focus. it is also the day in which we celebrated guruji’s (sri k. pattabhi jois) birthday.
instead of a normal led class, we will be doing a led class of 108 led sun salutations as our offering. we will begin at 10am.
starting at 12pm, there will be a “pica-pica potluck”, so please bring something to eat or drink to share with everyone.
at 12:30pm, we will be showing the movie “guru”, which is a documentary about guruji, ashtanga yoga, and his 90th birthday celebration in mysore, india in 2005. (i am sorry, but this movie is only in english, without subtitles).
it is only a 30 minute movie and after it has finished, there will be satsang.
satsang in sanskrit is derived from 2 words: sat = true & sanga = company and in indian philosophy means a spiritual discourse or sacred gathering for those who want to listen to, talk about, and assimilate the "highest truth". most of all, i just want to have an opportunity for us to come together and to speak about some aspects of the ashtanga yoga practice that are not being addressed in the daily classes. also, it will be an occasion in which one can raise any questions or issues that one has surrounding the practice.
you may come and join in on the sun salutations, potluck, movie, and/ or satsang and leave when you choose. please note, that this guru purnima and satsang are only open to monthly students of casaAbhyasa – ashtanga yoga barcelona and is free to those of you have paid your monthly fees or already attended class this month.
i hope that you will take the time to come to this as an important part of this practice is devotion and gratitude. it will also be a nice opportunity to bring everyone together and maintain our sense of community as practitioners.
with gratitude… take care… much love and peace, namaste hojung
