Conscious Kriya Yoga training on October 2, 2021
Important news (all ages😉)
Conscious Kriya Yoga training on October 2, 2021
You may remember that in the autumn of 2019 we handed over the baton to a group of young (former) participants who indicated that they themselves wanted to take the lead in the organization, content and design of future Life School Days and the publication thereof. We applaud this initiative by ♥️!
Due to Covid, things have come to a standstill for a long time. Around this time there was
finally again a Life School Day planned, were it not for the fact that despite publications on fb
and Instagram, the organization team is falling short in time now that society is opening
up again.
Being busy with study/work etc., wanting to catch up with a 'backlog', occurs.
Not only with the organization team but also with potential interested parties. Very understandable. That's why we 'elderly' jump in, ha, ha!
ON VERY SHORT TERM October 2, a Conscious Kriya Yoga (CK) training will be organized by Mohanji's organization for people who have an intense inner need to learn the technique of BREATHING.
A technique that, in addition to increasing concentration/immunity and reducing stress, has so many more secrets.
Why? You may be wondering, are we bringing this to your attention with so much emphasis!
This difficult time has made us realize that happiness in yourself makes you less dependent on circumstances.
Conscious Kriya is a way to start the day in a beautiful, positive way and to mean something to each other and the world in the broadest sense of the word.
Kriya Yoga is 'secret and sacred'! Cannot be given 'on every street corner'.
I, Carla, have waited years for the opportunity, under the watchful eye of a realized Master, to practice Kriya. It was therefore a surprise that a world-renowned Master would honor Onderdijk with his arrival.
At x occasions Mohanji will personally initiate the new participants.
CONDITIONS are the 3 C's…
CONSISTENCY - COMMITMENT - CONVICTION
My experience is that I am starting to experience a growing 'JOY' in Kriya.
I only started on August 11 after Mohanji's visit. The trainer 'linked' us via 'Zoom' to an advanced group, mainly Swiss participants. Now very familiar, without you knowing each other, and nice.
CONDITIONS daily:
* To get up early
* Shower
* Clean quiet place
* Seat cushion or chair
* Candle or light
DURATION:
* about 35 min. per day
TRAINING COSTS:
* Nothing, nope
* Mohanji gives you a 'dakshina' after the initiation in the form of a sum of money or something else as a thank you. (That way you don't 'owe' anything to the person who offers you something for free!)
“When Consciousness Kriya is practiced consistently and with devotion, it can be described as a rocket to spiritual evolution and liberation.”
Access to the CK training is reserved for seriously interested people. There is no charge as the techniques given are 'priceless'.
You can sign up by clicking 'apply' on the website kriya@mohanji.org or by clicking the button at the bottom of this message.
Your application will be assessed, after which you will be informed about the training. The training is given via a 'zoom link' in English.

Sathsang with Mohanji
Saturday 7 August, Sunday 8 August and Monday 9 August
Sai Temple Onderdijk
Mohanji, world famous, will visit this weekend to the temple in Onderdijk.
Sita, who does translation work for the Mohanji team, was aware of Mohanji's arrival in the Netherlands and suggested the temple in Onderdijk as the location for Satsang.
'Satsang' in Sanskrit means: Sat = true, Sanga = companionship, being together in Truth.
A unique opportunity to ask questions of life to a Master.
We consider it a great honor to meet him in our Sai Temple.
In 2018, Swami Gopala personally invited Krishna Mohanji to visit Him. After Swami's 'departure' an extensive 'in memoriam' appeared on Mohanji's website blog.
see link: https://www.google.com/.../farewell-dearest-gopala-baba/amp/
We are enthusiastically preparing to give Mohanji and his attendants a wonderful stay in Swami Gopala Krishna's 'House' !

Commemoration Sathsangs in honor of Swami Gopala Krishna Baba
Lovely people,
Today we were unpleasantly surprised to hear that our dear Swami Gopala Krishna Baba has left His physical body. Lots of strength in dealing with this loss.
We think there is a great need to share feelings, thoughts and stories. But we do have the Corona restrictions of up to 30 people at a minimum of 1.5 meters.
As GKS Board, we have come up with the following to make meeting and Sathsang possible in a controlled manner:
In the short term, 3 moments have been devised to meet up to 30 people:
Thursday 11 June, 19:30 – 21:00
Friday June 12th, 19:30 – 21:00
Sunday 14 June as, 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
Unfortunately we can't serve coffee and tea, nor eat prasad together.
Indicate in advance at what time you and your loved ones would like to be there:
Registration is possible via this link: https://forms.gle/2oN5WTaQieKhrRR49
Register everyone separately
Also provide an email address to inform you about any changes
Respect the number of up to 30 people (full is full)
Please adhere to the instructions that you also receive from us on those occasions:
Respect the 1,5 meters
Take into account each other
We understand that this is not the most ideal situation. But it is a way to meet. Please help people in your area with the registration. Depending on the need, we will also look at other possibilities to meet each other.
If you can't manage to sign up, please contact Joram: joram199871@gmail.com
Sincerely,
GKS Board

Maha Shivarathri 2020
21 Feb 19:30 o'clock
Sai Temple, Van Velzenstraat 49a,1693 CV Onderdijk, The Netherlands
Friday 21 February we celebrate The night of Shiva or 'Mahashivarathi'.
We start at:
7:30 PM with Bhajans and Pooja.
At 21:00 we close with coffee and tea.
Special lecture
09 Feb 12:00 o'clock
Sai Temple, Van Velzenstraat 49a,1693 CV Onderdijk, The Netherlands
We have unexpectedly found a surprising speaker willing to Sunday 9 February after giving a lecture to the bhajans.
Dirk van de Wijngaard, the founder of the People's Trust Netherlands, wants to take us into his life story. Dirk is a gifted speaker who can tell from an inexhaustible source of experiences. What makes Dirk so unique is his boundless devotion to Sathya Sai Baba, his beloved Master. We also know him from all his projects in India and Nepal.
Dirk we as a family Van Velzen at the end of the 80s meet. We have remained connected with him despite few encounters. Recently, during the vigil for father Jan, we spoke again. I asked Dirk to share his golden experiences with us in the temple.
Dirk said: “What am I supposed to talk about then?” to which I replied with a laugh: “I'm afraid I can't answer that”! Knowing that once Dirk opens a drawer, wisdom and life experiences keep flowing out spontaneously…
We start at 10:30 am with Bhajans.
At 12:00 Dirk starts his story after coffee.
Afterwards we have lunch together. Are you all bringing something for lunch?
Swami Vivekananda
12 jan 12:00 o'clock
Sai Temple , Van Velzenstraat 49a,1693 CV Onderdijk, The Netherlands
Sunday, January 12, 2020 is the birthday (1863) of Swami Vivekananda, who is considered one of the most important representatives of Vedanta, the philosophy of Hinduism. He was the chief disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, the great Hindu mystic who emphasized the unity of all faiths.
In our Sai temple in Onderdijk a 'service' is held every 2nd Sunday of the month in which 'bhajans' (devotional songs; mainly in Sanskrit) are sung. From time to time we invite a speaker to give a talk.
We thought it very appropriate to invite Swami Sunirmalananda from the Ramakrishna Vedanta Association Netherlands to this day. As you probably know we have an affinity with the Ramakrishna order. We have therefore asked him if he would like to shed light on Vedanta through question and answer. In conversation we have been touched time and again how clearly and simply he, as a monk, manages to translate his knowledge of Vedanta philosophy in this time to the now. www.vedanta-ned.org
Start:
10.30 am bhajans
11.30 am break coffee/tea
12.00 Q&A with Swami Sunirmalananda
After lunch…
If you want to bring something for lunch, we will be grateful!
We are looking forward to you!

Navaratri 2019
29 Sept- 7 Oct, every evening around 19:30
Sai Temple, Van Velzenstraat 49a,1693 CV, Onderdijk, The Netherlands
Every year around September/October there is a staircase with 5 steps built in the temple. The stairs become equipped with figurines of gods, animals and other attributes. This is in honor of the Navaratri festival.
The word 'Navaratri' is composed of two words: 'nava' (nine) and 'ratri' (nights). Literally, Navaratri means '9 nights'. During these 9 days, devotees from Sri Lanka provide a service every evening, during which nine manifestations (manifestations) of Parvati (wife of Shiva) is honored.
During these services, songs, bhajans and mantras will be sung. There is also room for meditation and prayer.
You are most welcome to experience this around the clock of 19:30
Who are you?
Musical Unity in Variety
07 Aug, 7.30pm
Bonifacius Church, Kerkplein 9, 1671 CR Medemblik, Netherlands
During this concert, different artists, each with their own spiritual background, give a beautiful performance. A concert that takes you on a musical journey and shows us that we are not really that different. A concert in which you also come back to yourself. Who are you? And where are you? Do you fit within a specific flow or do you prefer to sail your own course?
The concert is free to attend. However, you must reserve tickets. There are only a limited number of tickets available. So don't wait too long to reserve your seats.
A donation is appreciated. This can be done during the concert in an old ballot box, or by transferring money to the Sri Sai Mandiram foundation, IBAN NL87INGB0009270781.

For question 6: Recommendation
How did you hear about Mohanji Foundation and Consciousness Kriya? *
You can fill in Onderdijk via Sai Tempel/Lifeschool…
WHO is MOHANJI
(according to his website):
Liberation is the cornerstone of Mohanji's teachings, where he points us to where to look, but not what to see. He places great emphasis on liberation from the bonds, concepts and habits of life. He himself practically demonstrates this by living a life free from the bonds and conditionings of the mind - completely natural, with total acceptance of life as it comes without resistance, regardless of people, time, space, situations or concepts.
“True mastery is the mastery of your own mind,” says Mohanji, who argues that spirituality manifests itself in the consciousness with which we live, live, and experience our daily lives. He is a proponent of the path of 'Pathlessness' where spontaneity and flow is all there is; be completely yourself!
He believes in romanticizing life, approaching every situation in life with wonder and curiosity of a newborn child without prejudice or judgment.
He says, "If we see God in every being, we can only have romance in our hearts because we romanticize God through every being."
