Special Events and Workshops

People are fascinated by ancient anomalies: the advanced mathematical knowledge embedded in the ancient Indian Vedas; the unexplained precision construction of the Great Pyramid; Peru’s Nazca lines which reveal enormous animal shapes only when high above them; an ancient map which accurately depicts a coastline of Antarctica that has been under ice for thousands of years – just to name a few. What can explain these and other anomalies? Ancient aliens are often put forward. But there is another explanation – that mankind’s knowledge rises and falls in a 24,000 year cycle of yugas, or ages – and that our ancestors possessed knowledge and abilities since lost in the dark ages. Nor is the insight the yugas provide limited to the past: having left behind the dark ages, we have entered a new energy age, once again on our way to re-claiming the lost knowledge of our ancient forebears. You’ll learn about:

• The four ages that make up the yuga cycle: material, energy, mental, and spiritual
• Man’s abilities in the four ages: space travel, use of life force, mental telepathy, overcoming time, and more
• Trends in our current energy age
• Fascinating evidence of ancient higher knowledge: the Vedas, Great Pyramid, and more.
• The cosmic forces that cause the cycle

Sri Yukteswar, teacher of Paramhansa Yogananda, presented a fascinating description of distinct ages that our planet cycles through every 24,000 years – known as the yuga cycle. Each of the four yugas, or ages, in the cycle profoundly affects man's consciousness. From the highest spiritual age to the lowest material age, each age leaves a unique footprint; from the matter-bound civilizations of recent history to the mentally and spiritually advanced ages found in the ancient past that left behind such anomalies as the Great Pyramid, India's Vedas, and the 10,000 year old spiritual site of Gobekli Tepe. From the yugas we can also understand our current age of energy awareness and rapid change, get a glimpse of a profoundly hopeful future, and be inspired to explore our own higher potentials such as life force control, mental telepathy, and expanded awareness.
