The Sound of Peace and Harmony on Earth
as it is in Heaven…
'AUM' for CHRISTMAS
"In the beginning was the Word…" says the Book of Genesis,
and the Rig Veda, the most ancient Indian scriptures, say
"In the beginning was Aum". It's the 'Word' whose sound has
been echoing through eternity in the deepest recesses of the
universe. On earth, the rishis and yogis meditated and went
into a trance to the chant of 'Aum'.
indiayogi resonates with the sound of the universe, this festive Christmas season,
with a series of 3 uniquely designed X-mas cards with an excitingly innovative use of Flash
and Applet Special Effects! These cards showcase a merging of eastern
philosophy with western belief, Indian spirituality with the
Christian faith in a Messiah whose birth is heralded by
kings and shepherds alike… the high and the lowly -
as the sign of a new dawn, a new hope for mankind.
Bring everyone you know, anywhere
in the world…. together in the
Christmas spirit of peace
, harmony and goodwill towards one another. Send them
these unique 'E-cards' from indiayogi… now!!

THE SUN AS GOD
From the most primitive societies to the more
recent new-age religions, the Sun has continued to be worshipped
for its life-giving and life-sustaining powers. While the Pueblo
Hopi Indians perform a daily ritual which they say nourishes the
sun and keeps it (and by implication our world) alive… in India,
millions of people do the 'Surya' (sun) namaskar every morning at
sunrise. One of the most powerful and widely-chanted mantras by
Hindus is the 'Gayantri Mantra' invoking the sun "to enlighten and
stimulate human understanding".
Across cultural myths, the Sun rides across the sky in a golden
chariot drawn by seven white horses - each one a personification of
the day of the week. The wheels of his chariot have 12 spokes signifying the
months of the year. The rays of the sun, by Hindus, are described as the
many arms of Surya reaching out to bless every corner of the universe.
In India, some
of the most beautiful temples like the Konark Temple of Orissa,
the jewel-like wonder at Modhera and the now totally ruined temple at Martand….are
dedicated to the worship of 'Surya'.
When J.M.W. Turner, the famed English artist, lay dying... he murmured that
he found faith in these four simple words: "The Sun is God".

On X-mas Eve indiayogi will wage its War for Peace
The first war of the third millennium, paradoxically, is not a war
for territorial conquest or political gain. This war is being waged
to root out the evil of terrorism perpetuated by extremist fanatical
organizations who are killing innocent men, women and children
around the world. This is a war…for peace. In his address, to be broadcast on the eve of X-mas,
to the congregation at indiayogi - Fr. Lancelot Pereira of the Society of Jesus separates the grain
from the chaff, to bring home and reinforce ideas which are fundamental not only to Christianity but
which are also cherished by men and women of every faith - the world over.
