Gong Meditation - A Lotus Circle Programme

Led by Kristin Lim, gong meditation is an experience for the mind and body that is accessible to all. Over the course of 45-60 minutes, we’ll incorporate simple breathing and meditation techniques that allow the sound waves of the gong to bring you into a state of deep relaxation.

Kristin Lim is a sound practitioner who believes in bringing the spirit of self-inquiry and exploration to a gong bath. She has had the privilege of training with gongmasters around the world, including Martha Collard of Red Doors Studio in Hong Kong, and Don Conreaux, one of the modern pioneers in the field.

Modern Science and the Higher Self

Choong Chi Pin shares this talk by Annie Besant that was first published in 1915. She says:

 

"….I want to show you, in the course of this evening's lecture, that there is in Modern Science a distinct recognition of the Higher Self, that there is an agreement between eastern and western science, conflicting with each other in their methods, that there is a mass of evidence compiled by western scientific men, which can be cited as showing the recognition by science of the Higher Self, of the existence of a Jîvâtmâ, a living Spirit, a living intelligence in man, and that the Spirit finds an ever imperfect instrument for expressing itself in the body of man. I want to show you how the face of Modern Science today is turned in a different direction from that in which it was turned some twenty or thirty years ago; I want to show you that there is a growing idea in the West that man in the waking consciousness is but a small fragment of the real man, that man transcends his body, that man is greater than his waking mind and consciousness, that there is evidence in plenty, daily forthcoming from most unexpected quarters, to show that human consciousness is far larger and fuller than the consciousness expressed through the physical brain…."

Mahabharata as a Spiritual Guidebook (I)

Mahabharata is the longest epic in the world. Many people have either read it or watched it as a period drama on TV. Beyond being a dramatic epic, it has much allegorically spiritual significance as revealed by the insights of Paramhansa Yogananda.

 

This is the first of two talks by Carl Lum, to share the insights of Paramhansa Yogananda on how the plots weave and shape the epic into a spiritual guidebook, and at the same time, also appreciate the fantastically beautiful plots of the epic.
