"Meeting
you has been important to me as a student & teacher of yoga. I have
such a great respect for your life's work and for you as a teacher.
It is a challenge, an honor and a joy to try and follow in your footsteps.
You have made me both happy and proud to be a fellow human being. I
hope to continue to visit New York to absorb your teachings." Monica

"The
Yoga Poses are just a preparation for the practice of meditation, and
better than meditation is to renounce the fruits of your actions. Now
learn to serve others first, and show love to all beings and living
creatures." Dharma Mittra

Meditation
Dharma Yoga Meditation programs will reveal to you divine techniques
that will prepare your mind for serious practice, and greatly strengthen
the powers of concentration. Learn how to slow down your thoughts and
draw your attention away from the noisy restless world and place it
within, where the truth lies, and where the peace is. You will learn
to experience profound and permanent bliss, and direct the self to higher
states of consciousness. Instructions are partially telepathic in order
to transfer spiritual or psychic knowledge that words cannot convey.
Only an illumined instructor is capable of this. The meditation class
is beneficial in the following ways: • removes stress of daily
activities, calms the monkey mind, and promotes one-pointed concentration
• stimulates the pituitary and pineal glands for mental sharpness
and clairvoyance • balances all the bodily systems paving the way
towards truth, light, peace and divine perception. These sessions are
suitable for new students and all levels are welcome.

Holy Satsang with Sri Dharma Mittra
Satsang is a traditional gathering in reverence to a wise teacher or
Guru, and in honor of the timeless knowledge and cosmic love that he
bestows upon the students. Included in this service is group kirtan,
or chanting, to help awaken the bhakti, or heartfelt devotion, group
offerings to the teacher, holy discourses, and scriptural readings to
bring spiritual salvation and understanding. The seeker can then begin
to clear his thoughts and lead a life toward self-perfection, divine
perception and self-realization which is the goal of Yogic teachings.
