THE TEN PARAMITAS (Part II)
Naftaly Ramrajkar

Welcome to Part II of the series. HPB quotes "The Six and Ten transcendental virtues, (the Paramitas), are not for full-grown yogis and priests alone, but for all those who would enter the Path." Differently named and numbered in diverse traditions, the paramitas (Perfect Virtues; Great Perfections) are metaphorically described as the "golden keys to the portals along the hard and thorny way to Jnana."(The Perfection Beyond Cognition of Enlightenment). 

Naftally, a longtime theosophist, begins with the framework outlined by H.P. Blavatsky, founder of the current Theosophical Society, illuminating her points with correlated descriptions from Buddhist, Taoist, Sufi, American Transcendentalist and other related sources. Let us stretch our intuition and seek to understand these subtle and vital qualities essential in the life of the spiritual seeker. Although a two part series, each part is complete. Attendance at either or both sessions is welcome.

CELTIC MYSTICS, SAINTS AND SCHOLARS: IN SEARCH OF VISIONARY TRUTH
Karen Bruner   Back to top

Take a journey into the world of wind, water, and Celtic Spirit with long time Celtic harper and storyteller, Karen Bruner. In this talk she will explore the core of Celtic spirituality, "silence and contemplation, the love of nature, and the love of learning." From the voyage of Brendan, to the poems of Amairgin and Taliesin, to the teachings of Columba and Patrick, stories, songs and descriptions have come to us through the ages, providing a spiritual view that is both unique and pervasive, and which has withstood the tests of time, politics and religious zeal to be present in our culture today.
