Gigs in NYC and a new meditation Video

Those of you who are on my mailing list got a complete update recently with more news of the tour of the US and also Central America.

Since then the newest development is a new meditation video produced by John Elliot. You can view it at  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHjuawcmndI

North American Tour: New York State, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia

In the last two weeks I have been to New Paltz (upstate NY), Ithaca, Asheville, NC, Greensboro, NC, and Atlanta, GA.  I am now back in New York City and getting ready for another adventure, but before I tell you about that. Here are some highlights from the last two weeks.

North American Tour is in Progress

I am just writing to let everybody know that my North American tour is moving along nicely.  On September 28 I visited the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. I was invited there to give a yoga workshop, but one of the scheduled bands failed to show up and I was given the opportunity to present a set of music. The event took place in an open amphitheater located in front of a beautiful lake.

Here is a photo from the festival:

I also visited meditators in Washington, Philadelphia and attended a yoga retreat in Plainfield, Massachusetts. This past weekend I presented a lecture on kundalini yoga at the Ananda Marga retreat in Asheville, NC. I am currently in Greensboro, North Carolina and a concert is scheduled for Thursday, October 23 (if you are in the area, please come!)

At the retreat in Massachusetts I held a music program for the children and did the same songs that I sing in Albania with the children of the Albanian Sunrise School.

In my personal opinion, she fails to live up to this ideal. Continue reading

Lessons in Non-Attachment

by Dada Vedaprajinananda

Recently I gave a meditation workshop in England and touched on the issue of non-attachment. Yoga philosophy tells us that we shouldn’t be morbidly attached to physical objects because they are transitory and perishable. If we can remember that our self-worth and being do not depend on these physical objects then we will be better off. Continue reading
