Each year, meditators from our tradition celebrate together on the first full moon in the month of July in accordance with the Vedic calendar, known as Guru Purnima, this celebration is the highlight of the Vedic lunar year and when we honour the tradition of all Vedic Masters.   We give gratitude to our present Teachers and honour our past Masters.
 
It is a tradition on this day that a boon (or wish) be granted to all as part of the celebration.  Your wish should be something that not only will bring benefit to you but also bring great benefit for all those around you and greater good of the world.  At the end of our Puja ceremony, you will offer your wish in a symbolic surrender to Nature's organizing power, and then let it go. 

The Puja ceremony will be performed- the same ceremony you witnessed when you first received your mantra.  Please bring a flower along to offer when making your wish.
 
There will be a Meditation after the Puja ceremony.  And our traditional Indian sweets and cuppa afterwards.
 
It's also the night that we walk in the Moonlight to receive Soma - The beautiful Consciousness flow from the Moon (Chandra).
 
Looking forward to seeing your shining faces once again.
Love & Jai Guru Deva

My teacher Thom Knoles is offering his recorded course on “The Power of Speech”.  The course ran in 2010. This is a brilliant course and I highly recommend it for all Vedic Meditators. 

Speech is our most powerful manifestation tool. It is how we give direction to the Universe. It affects us individually and it affects those around us. However, we have become more careless and wreckless with speech than with any other manifestation tool available to us. "The Power of Speech: Giving Clear Direction to the Universe" will examine the power and ramifications of our speech on our own lives, the lives of our Tribe, and the Universe. We will learn how and why fine-tuning the accuracy of language clarifies desires and intent, and increases our personal power. We will learn to identify hidden self-destructive speech habits and eliminate them to harness maximum support of nature's intelligence. Jai Guru Deva Thom

What is happiness? 

Did you know in Bhutan they measure wellbeing of the country’s people, rather than just economic factors to determine the success of their nation and they don’t allow the government to proceed with a policy unless it has been measured against the wellbeing goals? 

Bhutan, a tiny kingdom in the Eastern Himalayans, implemented
this big idea 40 years ago - a program of modernisation called
Gross National Happiness. Living standards, health conditions and education levels have greatly increased and it has proven to be a sound and successful economic model.  

This is a hugely eye-opening approach as it takes into account human needs more than business needs.  

Conscious Club scours the world for the most outstanding speakers and talent to inspire our community and we are delighted to announce our next guest speaker;  

Wednesday 28th June at Bondi Pavilion Theatre  
Dr Saamdu Chetri, the Director of The Gross National Happiness
in Bhutan  
In a light-hearted and candid interview with Gary Gorrow
All about Happiness! 

Join us for this unique event, as we explore the connection between how happiness can create the conditions for our social, economic, environmental, psychological and spiritual wellbeing.  
We will learn about the philosophy of Gross National Happiness and the model it could provide for other countries around the world.   

Dr Saamdu will challenge your thinking beyond more than just fleeting happiness. 
Watch this clip about Gross National Happiness

Come and hang out with the conscious community, meet like-minded friends. Experience the benefits of a group meditation and enjoy soul stirring music. Be inspired with wisdom, art, film, 
Do Good Challenges and Conscious Currency. After the show, join us for complimentary chocolates from Loving Earthand a cup of ayurvedic tea whilst mingling with the conscious community.  

Conscious Club is an experience that is diverse evocative and expansive for the mind and heart, a unique experience unfound anywhere else. 

Don’t miss out, grab your tickets quick!
