Earthquake in Seattle..

[Guest guest]

I had enquired with our Seattle Vedanta Centre about the

effects of the earthquake on the centre - they had said all are well.

 

The Seattle Centre has come up with a new publication

Dear Jay,

 

We are all fine here. No one was hurt at all. We got shook up; it was scary.

The Ashrama is fine, as is the monastery. A few things tumbled down. And we

will have to replace the chimney, which needed to be changed anyway. But no

one was hurt at all. It was 30 miles deep, which saved us.

 

With best wishes,

Devra

P.S. By the way, I thought you might like to know that Swami Bhaskarananda's

new book has just been printed: Meditation, Mind, and Patanjali's Yoga. I

give some information below about it, plus some reviews, etc. that we will

be printing up and sending off:

 

Our newly published book Meditation, Mind and Patanjali's Yoga is a

comprehensive yet utterly engaging book on meditation and other spiritual

practices, with special reference to Patanjali. The book addresses the

issues of finding a spiritual teacher as well as dealing with spiritual

dangers and obstacles, Yoga, Samkhya philosophy, stages of spiritual growth,

levels of illumination, and how to remove stress.
