Dear Friends,
Shivananda welcomes you to join him in celebrating Diwali - the Festival of Lights. Diwali is a custom from India where it is celebrated by all people no matter their faith or religious background. It is a spiritual event which celebrates the victory of Light over Darkness, Good over Evil and Knowledge over Ignorance. Shivananda teaches us how to eliminate the darkness from within, by opening our hearts to love and bringing in the light.
“Love is light, because it illuminates the receiver and the giver.”
Shivananda Swamiji
This year's Diwali Program will also include a daily yoga intensive with Carmine Basile*.

Dreitägiges Diwali Programm mit Shivananda Swamiji in Xanten, Deutschland
"Es wird immer Licht geben nach der Dunkelheit - vertraue dir selbst!
Dein wahres Selbst leuchtet wie ein blendendes Licht in deiner innersten Tiefe,
wie ein Ozean in Bewegung."

Meine Lieben,
Shivananda Swamiji lädt Euch ein, mit ihm gemeinsam Diwali zu feiern - das Festival der Lichter. Diwali ist ein Brauch aus Indien, der von allen Menschen gefeiert wird, egal welcher Herkunft oder welchen religiösen Hintergrunds. Es ist ein spirituelles Fest, welches den Sieg des Lichtes über die Dunkelheit symbolisiert, sowie des Guten über das Böse und das Wissen über die Ignoranz (Unwissenheit). Shivananda Swamiji lehrt uns wie wir die Dunkelheit von Innen heraus beseitigen, indem wir unsere Herzen zum lieben öffnen und das Licht erhellen.
“Liebe ist Licht, weil sie denjenigen, der Gibt und denjenigen, der Empfängt, erleuchtet.“
Shivananda Swamiji
