Akhanda Japa (uninterrupted group meditation) is a year-long meditation practice in the Himalayan tradition for creating a spiritually empowered collective consciousness that is described in the Mahabharata as a practice to help engender world peace. Our affiliate, the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA will be running a Year Long Group Meditation (YLGM) in conjunction with this meditation practice. It engenders individual healing and transformation while exerting a strong positive influence on the entire web of life. Whether you partcipate with our studio, HI or on your own, we encourage you to Register (Free!) yourself on their website as a participant.

As an affiliate studio to HI, Devanadi will be hosting a once-a-month FREE community meditation session open to all students interested in offering their time and sadhana (spiritual practice) to engendering more peace, love and harmony in the world. Details will be sent out via email prior to the first session if you register online, as well as on paper in the first group session.

Cost: FREE! We do not want money to limit your ability to be part of this group event. However, donations will be accepted that will go towards rent, materials, and other items if needed or donated to our Karma Yoga fund.

NOTES:
• You do NOT have to register or attend every session. Come when you can, but we'd love for you to register your name online so that we can manage the number of students in our studio. If the group grows larger, we may move the sessions to a larger facility.
• No meditation experience necessary, although we do recommend continued meditation throughout the year. We have several Pranayama & Meditation classes at Devanadi with teachers participating in the Akhanda Japa to support your growth in practice.
• Need a mantra? We will be suggesting several mantras to use through this practice. There may also be opportunity to receive a mantra from the tradition.
• This program is also highly recommended for those students traveling to India for the Maha Kumbha Mela with the Himalayan Institute in early 2013. Devanadi is a Twin Cities hub for the pilgrimage. Please contact us if you are going and would like to be part of our sangha.

We invite you to come and share in community (sangha) building, enriching your spirit, and helping bring more light into the world one breath at a time.
