If you attended the session and have interest in a Prana Vidya Practice Group, please let us know! Thank you to the Residence Inn Marriott for sponsoring the conference space for this session, and to those who made the great food we all enjoyed during the day.

Two sessions were held: one at Harvard University and the other at YogaCaps. We thank Jimmy Watts from the Harvard Mountaineering Club and Ian Bolliger from the Harvard First-Year Outdoor Program for their coordination of the afternoon session!

Many thanks to Deepa Mangalat, Sarita Vaswani and Chithra Balaji for coordinating the youth yoga session!

We ended the retreat on sunday evening with Hamsa Dhyana meditation and Chitra Krishnaswami offered a special bhajan to express our gratitude to Swami Mahesh.

What an extra blessing to offer this yajna outdoors on a supremely beautiful Spring evening! The smoke that rises from the fire contains a powerful healing energy, and as it rises to the heavens it purifies the atmosphere, both physically and subtly. Swami Satyananda has said that when you perform a yajna, the celestial beings pervade the space. Not only the material and physical environment, but also the spiritual environment is purifed.

Let us know what images you see manifesting though the yajna!
