KIRTAN at UNITY Sat 3/8 - Kirtan and Sat 3/22 - Kirtan at 3pm @ Unity

"Kirtan helps the mind become quiet, and when the mind quiets, we can begin to perceive the mystical things, the sacred experiences, that are around us always. In the silence between the songs, when the song stops, you can feel something. And that something is you. There is no greater experience than the experience of one's Self. And that vibration is always within you, that vibration is you. That's the beauty of any chant experience-with little or no effort we can experience and enjoy the vibrations of peace, energy, healing and inspiration that are always within us." Kamini Natarajan

Ramadan: February 17 - March 9

Ramadan is the most sacred month of the year in Islamic culture. Muslims observe the month of Ramadan, to mark that Allah, or God, gave the first chapters of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad in 610, according to the Times of India. During Ramadan, Muslims fast, abstain from pleasures and pray to become closer to God. It is also a time for families to gather and celebrate. Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, which is a lunar calendar based on the cycles of the moon. Observances begin the morning after the crescent moon is visibly sighted, marking the beginning of the new month.

Quotes

"If we feel that our thought must go out somewhere in the invisible and compel things to happen, then we will put strain into our prayers. Our prayers are spoken in faith, then released to the power of the Law."

- Ernest Holmes, 365 Science of Mind, p. 76

"As you learn to release all your burdens to the right action of God, you will find that everything falls into its proper place. You let your problems slip away from you, realizing that a Power greater than you are, and a Presence that is within you, is ready, willing and able to guide you in all ways. Then peace, security and fulfillment come with ease and there is a sense of joy and accomplishment." - Ernest Holmes, Thoughts Are Things, p. 89

"The secret to peace is not wanting the present moment to be different from what it is."

- Eckhart Tolle

"Now is the time for the world to know that every thought and action is sacred. This is the time for you to deeply compute the impossibility that there is anything but grace. Now is the season to know that everything you do Is sacred." - Hafiz

"Living mindfully is the art of living awake and ready to embrace the gift of the present moment." - Macrina Wiederkehr, Seven Sacred Pauses

"The inner shrine by which God's name is hallowed can be developed only through letting go, releasing some of the clutter inside that keeps us too busy to be silent and receptive to the still, small voice." - Neil Douglas-Klotz, Prayers of the Cosmos

"To create this holy place inside, some letting go is necessary. If the room is filled with old knickknacks, there is no space for a shrine. If the flute is clogged, no music can come through." - Neil Douglas-Klotz, Prayers of the Cosmos

"I am a believer that there is a connection between every person -- that's my own spiritual belief. I feel that theater, beyond the immediate form of entertainment and education, is a reminder to everyone of connection. What ironically is required is not a lot of doing but a lot of letting go." - Hugh Jackman

"The glory of God is a human being fully alive." - Irenaeus, Christian theologian

"There are powers far beyond us, visions more vast than what we can see with our own eyes. There are horizons long gone beyond our own horizons. Courage is to thrust ourselves into the hands of higher powers: God and Destiny. To abide in the realm of the eternal, to walk in the path of the everlasting, to follow in the footprints of God and demi-gods. The hardest part is letting go. In the letting go is found freedom. In the letting go is found the flight." - C. JoyBell C., author

"All great spirituality is about letting go. It trains us in both detachment and attachment: detachment from the passing so we can attach to the substantial." - Richard Rohr

"As you find your truth and go inward and cleanse out everything that's conflicted in your life, you begin to live in harmony with yourself. You find the peace that has always been your home address." - Martha Beck, The Way of Integrity
