Guru Poornima Celebrations and Webcast
Join us Sunday, July 25 from 8:00-10:00 PM EST for a special Guru Poornima celebration. Guru Poornima will be celebrated here in Cleveland through havan (fire ceremony) and kirtan. Havan is the celebration of the first awakening of consciousness. When man learned how to use fire to help, protect, nurture and sustain him, and when he learned that grains could be cooked and cultivated, this understanding put him on the first rung of evolution. 
The aim of havan is to use that potential to further launch our consciousness into the unknown dimensions for further discoveries. And Guru Poornima is the special day to pay our deep gratitude to all the enlightened teachers or Masters who dispelthe darkness of ignorance and infuse the light of awareness into our lives and guide us into the unknown dimensions.
This Guru Poornima havan will be broadcast live via our video streaming channel so that you can participate from home. Contact us for information on the event in Cleveland or to share the details of your local Guru Poornima events. Connect with NAG and the Satyananda community on this auspicious occasion!
