In this Talk:
- Humanity sits at the top of the evolutionary scale. Only we have reflective consciousness: the ability to think about and gain wisdom from deeper insights. Consciousness is equally present in all beings but not equally manifested. Only humanity can fully manifest consciousness.
- The mystical and powerful mantra Om – the Anahata Sound or Pranava (the original word of power) – resonates eternally in the universe. Poetically known as the ‘music of the spheres,’ we cannot hear it from our ordinary level of consciousness, but the perfected yogis can.
- What happens after death? It’s a fundamental question that has haunted the minds of thinking people throughout the ages, provoking dogmatic and differing opinions. The Bhagavad Gita asserts that two things are certain in this world: a person once born is sure to die, and once dead, is sure to be born again. Rebirth, the Gita says, is overcome only after God-Realization or Self-Realization.
Program:
- Talk and Powerpoint Presentation by Pravrajika Gayatriprana
- Recorded Guided Meditation by Pravrajika Ajayaprana.
