Join Viriam for a meditation and mantra session to support India in its time of crisis. From our hearts to yours – a meditation and mantra journey. As part of Himalaya Yoga Valley’s weekend Yoga for India – Oxygen Fundraiser.
One of the roots of yoga is compassion – Viriam will share meditations that allow us to feel grounded and safe within our own heart and a beautiful mantric meditation to radiate from the heart centre. We will chant from the heart and honour the spiritual lineage of mantras from different faiths within India.
“One of my favourite moments in India finds me at 4,300 metres high in the Himalayas on a trek to Hemkund Sahib chanting ‘Wahe Guru’ with a tiny Sikh woman at least three times my age urging me along the steep path with each syllable of the mantra. Another time I sat entranced at the feet of Amma – the hugging mother - in her ashram in Kerala as her voice reached between heaven and earth. The voices of the Krishna devotees rose and rose to a pitch of ecstatic bliss as a dreadlocked flute player span in wild turns in Mathura. I have been so lucky to find myself welcomed into the sacred heart of these temples and embraced by pilgrims across India. In my heart now I return to all of these sacred sites to chant and pray for these communities that so happily welcomed me.”
With your support, we aim to raise money to purchase D-Type 6000 Litre Oxygen Cylinders, which will help the ones in need of oxygen at this crises hour.
