Life of a Yoginii - My Colorful Spiritual Journey

Divya Ma Lighten Up

Beschreibung

A deeply inspirational book, Life of a Yoginii is as simple as it is profound. Divya Ma's writing is straightforward and captivating for readers from adolescent to senior. As a shy girl, she, like many of us, experienced her first sense of the Divine in nature. She loved to be with the trees. So much so, that she wanted to study agriculture, but her mother asked to find something more feminine.  
As she struggled through different courses at different schools, she was drawn to the gentleness and sweetness of friends who talked to her about meditation, and that was the beginning of her journey along Ananda Marga, the Path of Bliss. Divya Ma eventually became a yogic monk and one of the pioneers who introduced yoga in the U.S. public schools in the 1990's.  
She later retreated to nature again, spending ten years living alone in a solar-powered yurt, where "every experience [was] so precious to my heart and soul. Sometimes during rainy days, I would revel in the freshness of the air, and I'd dance and dance in the beautiful open space of my home. My heart felt merry to be filled with love, joy and peace." 
Further transformation, healing and change brought Divya Ma to find her spiritual partner, Gopala. What has never changed for her is the enthusiasm and childlike innocence with which she embraces each day. Taking up the colors of her life, she paints a picture of the human heart's eternal dance with the love of the Divine.

Living Room Revolution - A...

Cecile Andrews

The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project).

Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed.

Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation.

At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation.

The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room!

“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
