8-Hour Christmas Meditation
Dec 21st 10am-6pm

The heart of Ananda’s Christmas is this eight-hour meditation, an annual tradition our Guru, Paramhansa Yogananda started in 1931, in which his students all over the world participate. Chanting, music, inspirational recordings, and meditation periods carry you along, and the time passes more quickly and enjoyably than we’d imagine. The blessings are tangible and stay with us well into the New Year.

https://www.anandaeastla.com/calendario/8-hour-christmas-meditation

Timing: Please come by 9:15 or 9:30 am if possible, so that you have plenty of time to set up your sitting area, energize, and do maha mudra. There is a power when we sit and start together at 10:00 am with prayer. The vibration builds throughout the day, so please stay all day if you can.

1125 Goodrich Blvd,
East Los Angeles, CA 90022 (310) 396-9900

If you come later in the day, enter the temple only during the chanting and music breaks, in order to keep silence in the hall during the meditations.
Please enter and exit the temple during chanting breaks. The program will end with prayers at 6:00 pm. If you leave the program before 6:00 pm, please leave only during the chanting breaks, not during the silent meditation.

Preparation: Rather than a heavy breakfast, eat light, easy-to-digest, foods—or fast. Some people like to bring a light snack for the midday break.
Clothing: Dress in loose, soft, comfortable clothes, a little warmer than usual, and a blanket or shawl. Don’t bring nylon clothes or plastic bags that cause sound.

What to bring: The temple will have the usual chairs and cushions, but you may wish to bring personal cushions or shawls. Bring your own meditation gear – asanas, headphones/earplugs, malas, and an Aum board if you use one. Also, bring water for yourself to stay hydrated.

What not to bring: Do not bring your mobile phone OR keep your phone switched off (not vibrate mode).

Join us for a Full Moon morning kirtan!

Paramhansa Yogananda introduced a new kind of chanting in the West, based on the repetition of meaningful phrases rather than the repetition of various names of God as is traditional in India. Its purpose is to focus the heart’s feelings and raise them toward superconsciousness.
The highest purpose of chanting is to help awaken us to our own spiritual potential: to bring us closer to Self-realization.
Ananda chanting includes those chants shared by Yogananda that are in the public domain, plus chants by Swami Kriyananda.
Come join us for devotional chanting, mini meditations, & satsang to follow.
