We are extremely delighted that as warmer weather has returned, so have the sorely missed Drop in Sessions in Liverpool! Last year the events witnessed many success stories. Not only it was extremely economical, but concessions were given to the students and the elderly. More over, it was completely free to the homeless. Many attended in good numbers and there were two stories of extreme transformations, one guy even kicked drinking.

Now, after a hugely popular 2012, this time the sessions have returned to the St Luke’s Church (also called the ‘Bombed Out Church’) with even more vigour. We are getting support from the charity Crisis who help single homeless people get back on their feet. Crisis have told us that they would like to encourage homeless people they come in contact with and encourage them every week to attend our course. This event will thus take place with the support of Crisis Liverpool, in association with the Liverpool City Council.

Whilst people from a wide range of backgrounds regularly attend this course, this is a brilliant piece of news and paves way for making a greater difference in the world. Everyone at CIS is looking forward to this. Come, join us in these life changing sessions, there will be something very new for you to find!

Every Thursday from 11th of April onwards – 4 pm to 5pm at St Luke’s Church, Liverpool

£5 per person, £3 concessions for students and the elderly, Free for the homeless

 
 
We’re glad to let you all know that Patanjali Meditation has returned this year to the University of Warwick and the students are now organising yet another course (four weeks long this time) every Wednesday, starting the 24th of April from 5 pm to 6 pm.

These hour-long sessions are much more than a stress buster aiming to:

• Develop a scientific understanding of who we are

• Increase concentration and focus

• Improve our sense of satisfaction and purpose in life

• Help us become proactive and independent person • Help us generally feel good and happy!

If you’re a student at the university, or even a staff member, drop by and benefit from these sessions – they could change your life!

See you  :)

Vedic Spiritual Science with Emphasis on Patanjali Yoga Meditation

• Are you a student/teacher/homemaker who’s wondering what to do with your free time in summer?

• Have you always been curious about meditation and spirituality and but are not really convinced how they are actually relevant to us in life?

• Have you always looked for rational answers for tons of questions that bug you every so often?

Well, then this course is for you. And guess what, by end of this you’ll be looking to even teach! Take a look:
 
CIS: Center for Inner Sciences(CIS) is dedicated to educate people with authentic universal principles of spiritual science.
 

The Course:Patanjali’s treatise on Yoga is the classic in Sanskrit, one of the Six Books of the Vedic Philosophy. The intensive course describes the background of the Vedic Spiritual science, the universal principles.
 
Background: Today’s world is divided between science and religion. Science considers matter alone and is finding it difficult to answer: where our consciousness comes from; how the universe came into being, and more importantly, why? Religions lack logic and rigor. In this background the Vedic spiritual science holds the promise. It is scientific in the sense that it is based on logic as another of the six books is on Nyaya by Gautama, philosophy of logic.
 

The Course Teacher: The course will be conducted by Dr Harish Chandra, Head of Research with CIS. His brief profile may be seen here.

Venue & Duration:London – August 12 – 30 2013, weekdays, 11 am to 3 pm – in Tooting Broadway exact venue TBC

A thorough understanding of the principles related to Patanjali Yoga Meditation (PYM)

An overview of the Vedic spiritual science

We hope this video compelled you, it did compel some of us who hadn’t watched it till this morning. Please go to www.indiegogo.com/SaveCIS as soon as you can for your chance to be part of something that can flourish as a world family.

There’s a lot of frenzy in our little (temporary) office today. People are biting down to make sure this new video reaches each and everyone of you. Jeff’s off on a very late lunch. Lily’s been typing for the last 5 hours, Dr Chandra’s currently sitting in a cafe in Liverpool, sending out some articles, and Andrew and Marvin are both making a 24 day long plan.

Our volunteers, meanwhile have been a great boost to our enthusiasm – there is so many of them who have offered a great hand that we cannot begin to describe.

And even if this attempt to save CIS fails, it would never feel like it had nothing. Because nobody is poor when they have such great friends.

Thank you.

Love,

Team CIS

After all the huff and puff last night (on a Sunday, yes!) back at the CIS HQ, the general consensus was featuring pets in our monthly/weekly themes and inviting pet owners to send in their pictures going with the theme.

We are delighted to announce that the first theme of this month is “Save Trees”.

For information of all participating pet owners:

1. Please send ONE picture per pet bearing this theme in mind and post it on our events page on Facebook (all photos will be public): Â http://www.facebook.com/events/375580269147853/

If you are not a Facebook user (we prefer Facebook), then you may alternatively email us the picture (only JPEG format) to events@centerforinnersciences.org.

Please make sure the file size is no more than 4 MB.

2. Use of props is absolutely allowed – get creative!

3. The best three pictures will be featured on our blog/Facebook/Twitter pages and our Website, and any other promotional material, including videos of our forthcoming campaigns.

4. By participating in the competition, you consent to the pictures of your pet being used. If you are not the owner, then you have sought the permission of the owner to use these pictures. If you want to credit the pet themselves, then we’d be happy to announce their names!
