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.
