Join us for an immersion in divine love through ecstatic chant, mantra practice, and a deep surrender of soul into the silence of an awakened heart.
If you have an interest in yoga or in kirtan, this exploration of the deeper dimensions of yoga will take you further on the path through introducing you to secret teachings of mantra along with the esoteric yoga practices of Tantra.
You will be guided by Russill Paul, an extraordinary musician who can simultaneously perform on multiple instruments while leading ecstatic kirtan, a master of mantra initiated into the Vedic and Tantric traditions, and a brilliant scholar with extensive knowledge on mantras and Indian spirituality. Under Russill's exceptional guidance, you will find both meaning and experience of the deeper dimensions of yoga rendered profoundly and made easily accessible to you.
Russill, at one time a resident of the Bay Area, is the author of numerous chant CDs, including his most recent "Mantra Magic", and the author of "The Yoga of Sound", perhaps the most definitive work that describes and explains that role of mantra and sound in yoga practice. His 30 year practice includes five years of formative training as a monk and yogi in India followed by 25 years of teaching in the West at many prestigious learning centers and leading-edge conferences. He is the founder of Yogic Mystery School Online and leads chanting pilgrimages to India each year. www.russillpaul.com
Note: Although each of the following workshops is a stand alone, self-contained experience, we recommend all four for a comprehensive understanding of The Yoga of Sound. And we recommend that Friday Satsangh and Saturday kirtan be included to experience the full scope of The Yoga of Sound.
