ABOUT THE EVENT
We are made up of Mind and Matter, of Subtle and Gross Energies. The Material Universe which we inhabit arises from the five elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether. When Mind rules Matter we win. When Matter triumphs over Mind, we lose. Peering through the looking-glass, when we turn things on their head and change Me to We, then we can change the equation of life on earth from a shrinking universe and a dystopian future to an ever more radiant cosmos. Vedic wisdom teaches us to cleanse our inner environment to reflect the purity of our outer environment. In this way, we can restore the balance of inner and outer nature, and achieve the Union of Shiva and Shakti, of Pure Consciousness and Material Energy.
Ramakrishna Paramahansa believed, ‘We are all One Consciousness.’ When we realize this, we can at last rein in the uncontrolled Mind and halt the despoilation of Nature to arrive at the summit of Being where the biosphere reflects our true Spirit. Then we will achieve the evolution of Humanity through the Cosmic Dance of Creation which will restore the Five Elements to their pristine state of beauty and joy.
