The Guru Within & Without
A Special Day Visit & Yoga Offering
Thousands of years ago the tradition of Guru Purnima began. The guru is one who dispels the darkness, or one who brings to light that which is hidden from awareness. Guru is frequently translated simply as “teacher.” Purnima means “full.” It is during the time of the full moon that we celebrate and honor the guru, the spiritual preceptor, within and without.
Join us on Saturday, July 25, for a Mountain Experience day visit honoring the themes of Guru Purnima, observed this year on Tuesday, July 28. The day will include a special yoga offering titled “The Guru Within & Without,” featuring teachings on guru, Vedic chanting, and asana (postures) practice. You will also have the opportunity to explore displays of the teachings, writings, and projects inspired by Baba Hari Dass, as well as a video about his life.
Additional offerings on the mountain include:
- Personal time to relax in community spaces, including Anjaneya’s World Cafe and Oceanview Books & Gifts
- Access to the 380 acres of hiking trails, walking paths, and indoor amenities
- Option to visit the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple
- Option to book a wellness treatment at Kaya Kalpa Wellness Center (additional fees apply; advance reservations recommended)
We look forward to celebrating the teacher and teachings with you!
