On the 18 November 2018 all 14 centre students came together to consolidate our this year’s learning.
Kids of age 3 and above from our Glen Waverly center did about 75 minutes of yoga including individual demonstration. Our student Laurent Meric presented a box of Coco brand chocolates to all participants.
This was followed by 2 hours of yoga for all the participants along with Tratak session.
Students from all centres had brought in vegetarian food to share.
We conveyed the message of sustainable living through Yoga by using reusable plates, spoons and cups. Use of one off use plastic is choking the earth and water system and we have to lead by example so that our next generation will have a better life here.

The Annual Surya Yajna in the serene Dandenong Ranges was a roaring success.
We had more participation than all other previous events. Under perfect weather conditions, the event started exactly at 5:30am. Since the sky was clear we had the opportunity to see millions of the stars in all their glory as we awaited the rise of single most important star, The Sun.
As we began the Surya Yajna, we collectively invoked the Grace of the Lord in the Sun we all experienced the bliss and joy. It was divine experience to witness the glorious Sun Rise as we concluded the 151 rounds of Surya Namaskara.

We would like to thank all the participants to make this a great make this a great celebration.
Below is the information on the upcoming free Surya Namaskara Event. This time we are hosting it up in the serene mountains of Dandenong Ranges in Olinda.
The benefits of Surya Namaskara are mentioned in scriptures like Valmiki Ramayana, Mahabharata and other scriptures. Surya Namaskara is a process of invoking the Grace of the Lord through sun. Sun is the most brilliant gross object we all can see. When we see this brilliant sun, we should be reminded of most replesent Lord who gave this brilliance to the sun. SuryaNamaskara signifies the “Path of Light”. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad summarises the significance of Surya Namaskara as-
Om
asatomaa sadgamaya
tamasomaa jyotirgamaya
mrtyormaa amritamgamaya
Lead us from imperfection to Perfection, from darkness to Light, from death to Immortality.
The brochure below has all the details about the event. We look forward for your participation.
Many of us went to the Yoga Retreat during this New year period. This retreat was aimed to “discover yourself.” It was at Sri Krishna’s Otway Retreat, about 90 minutes from Melbourne, set on a 200-acre land with lots of forest land and greenery all around.
We bid adieu to 2016 with 13-14 hrs of various Yoga activities. Sounds daunting, right? We can’t imagine that we participated actively in all the proceedings, didn’t need an afternoon rest or tea/coffee and felt energized all the way through.
In one day we did Asanas, Pranayama, Japa, Kriya, Yoga Nidra multiple times. We also participated in Dhyana, Meditation, chanting peaceful affirmations, Jal-neti, Sandhya Vandana and Kirtan.
During the “Talk on Yoga,” session, Shri Rajendraji gave us practical insights and probing questions which provided clarity of perspective and impetus to establish a healthier routine, – one that positively affirms our lives through the joyfully serene discharge of service to our family, community, and nation.
There was also a communication session conducted by communication coach, Rajeev. The objective of this session was to help participants effectively communicate the enhanced inner clarity.
We started day 2, at 6:30 am, outdoors, with Surya Namaskara. Everyone found this an inspiring and enjoyable experience. We also did another round of Yoga Asana and Pranayama in the morning followed by most of the participants reflecting on the practice of Yoga and the Yoga Retreat experience.
During this extended Yoga period, participants learned about different limbs of Yoga in more details and in an immersed way. Away from all technologies and daily routines, everyone participated single-mindedly in Yoga.
During this period, everyone enjoyed saatvic vegetarian food, cooked in traditional and simple ways. It seems to bring out the natural flavours and tasted delicious. We also sat down on the floor to eat, the traditional Indian way of eating. Everyone washed their dishes after every meal, enjoying the co-operative way of living.
Many also went for Bush walks, visited Indian cows and Vege Gardens.
Considering the popularity and success of this Retreat, watch this space for many more of them to come!!
