Jóga. Dharma Chakra (hóphugleiðsla) í kvöld kl 17:00 að Efstasundi 26
Dharma Chakra er haldin einu sinni í viku á Sunnudögum. Mjög mikilvægt er fyrir alla sem leggja stund á hugleiðslu að styrkja sig í iðkuninni með því að taka þátt í Dharma Chakra þar sem hugleitt er saman, gerður kiirtan og andlegar ritningar lesnar og ræddar. Þetta endurspeglast vel í hinni ævafornu möntru sem er sungin á undan hugleiðslunni og táknar mikla samvinnu eins og sést hér að neðan:
Sam'gacchadvam' Sam'vadadhvam'
Sam'vomana'm'is Ja'natam
Deva'bha'gam Yatha' Purve
Sam'jana'na Upasate
Saman'ii Va A'kuti
Sama'na' Hrdaya' Nivaha
Sama'nam Astu Vomano
Yatha' Vaha Susaha'sti
Ferðumst saman, geislum út sömu hugsunum
Kynnumst huga okkar saman.
Skiptum auði okkar án mismununar, eins og vitringar til forna
þannig að allir geti notið alheimsins
Sameinum áform okkar, látum hjörtu okkar verða óaðskiljanleg,
hug okkar sem einn, svo að við getum lifað í sátt og orðið eitt með hinu æðsta

Bútur úr upplestri gærdagsins
Many people ask themselves the same question: `Which is the right path?' Whenever scholars discuss this question together, they each give a different answer. So what should ordinary people do? Which path should they follow, and which one should they reject? Unable to discriminate between `shreya' (leading to welfare) and `preya' (leading to downfall), they are in a dilemma.
Some philosophies cannot be applied in the world of reality; they have no practical application whatsoever. But when given sophisticated names, they may sound quite attractive. Imagine someone makes the supposition that the River Ganges is made of honey and starts speculating how many factories could be started to process the honey and so on. In the beginning there was a mistake in the fundamental premise that the Ganges is made of honey. There are many such ludicrous theories. Shiva had this to say about them: `Lokavyamohaka'rakah' That is, these theories misguide and disease the human mind. Only that philosophy which can be applied in the practical sphere deserves to be accepted. Everything else should be rejected. But how can common people recognize such a philosophy? A tough problem indeed. A similar, almost insurmountable problem is to know what to do and what not to do in the social sphere. A number of reputed scholars and illustrious poets have expressed their feelings about this, but none of them are prepared to accept the viewpoints of their colleagues. As all are equally expert in the field of argumentation, what is one to do? It is quite a dilemma! Once, in answer to the common question, `Which is the right path'? a great poet said;
`Shrutayo vibhinna'h smrtayo vibhinna'h
Naeka muniryasya matam' na bhinnam'.
Dharmasya tattvama nihitama guha'y'am,
Maha'jano yena gatah sah pantha'.'
All the religious scriptures differ from one another. Everyone claims to have had a revelation of God. What a dilemma! If these were all true cosmic revelations, why should there be so many differences of opinion? Some advise that devotees should meditate facing the west whereas others insist they should sit facing the east. These are confusing propositions. How can the same person meditate facing both east and west at the same time? Some scriptures say that the labor class (shudras) do not have the right to do spiritual practice, some claim that women don't have that right and others stipulate that homeless people don't have that right either. And yet some scriptures say that dharma should be as easily accessible to all as light and air. Which should be accepted and which should be rejected? Whom should one eulogize and whom should one criticize What should be done in the midst of such confusion? In fact, the scriptures themselves are confusing, as indeed are the social treatises. At one time the most important treatise was the `Para'shara Sam'hita'', then came the `Na'rada Sam'hita'' and then came the theory of Karl Marx. There are innumerable differences between the various social treatises and books of ethics. `Shruti sha'stra' means `religious code' and `niiti sha'stra' means `social code'. The social code is also called `smrti sha'stra'. The socio-economic system, or the system of distribution of wealth, came within the scope of `sama'ja sha'stra' or social code. One such social code says, `Try to acquire as much wealth as you can with the help of your intelligence and analytic brain.' Another says, `Wealth should be divided in equal proportions', whereas yet another says, `Distribute wealth according to necessity.' According to other theories, however, wealth should be distributed according to individual need; that is, one need not give the same amount to everyone. So many people, so many minds. In this situation, what should the common people do?....

Dharma Chakra
Dharma Chakra er vikulegur viðburður í jógamiðstöðinni í Efstasundi 24. Mæting er þar klukkan 17:00 og gott er að vera mættur tímanlega. Byrjað er á kiirtan (möntrusöng) þar sem einn spilar á gítar og aðrir spila með á trommur eða ásláttarhljóðfæri, á staðnum er gítar, djambe tromma, indversk tromma, tamboríni og fleira í þeim dúr.
Mantran Babanam Kevalam er sungin sem útleggst í kringum mig er óendanleg hamingja, hægt er að heyra dæmi hér til hliðar undir Rawa radio.
Eftir klukkutíma kiirtan þar sem er skipt milli mismunandi laga og spilara sest fólk niður (á staðnum eru púðar til að sitja á eða stólar) og farið er með gamlan söng á sanskrít saman, sem þýðir m.a að við séum í sameinuð í okkar ástundun.
Þvínæst er hugleiðsla í 30 mínútur þar sem hver og einn gerir sína hugleiðslulexíur. Hugleiðslan endar á öðrum söng á sanskrít.
Svo er lesin texti uppúr andlegri hugmyndafræði Ananda Marga og gerðar jógadansar/æfingar er kallast Kaoshiiki og Tandava að því loknu.
