Full and Dark Moon Celebrations and Various Puja
|
Moon celebrations include walking meditation, uplifting music, time for deep contemplation, mantra and pranayama, and guided exercises for renewal and regeneration in the silence and healing energy of nature.
Dark Moon or Amavasya represents the arising out of darkness and going into the Light. When the moon is Full, Purnima, it radiates the light and fullness of the outer sun, reminding us we are Full, we are Whole. As Sri Svamiji has said, “Sometimes when the moon is shining so full – Full Moon Time – you can see everything. The light is so clear, that soothing light, that protection you feel, the energy beaming into you, energizing the Divine Lila, like when Krishna had the Divine Lila on the Full Moon… That is true meditation and the full focus on the Divine Highest Being.” If you would like to participate, please make a donation using the button below.
