Are you in the mood for candles, intention-setting with wonderful souls, a warm, loving atmosphere, some chai, beautiful, live music on harmonium and piano with Maria Christina’s angelic voice at a lovely spot on the North Shore?
If you said YES!!! then the Brahma Kumaris of Kauai would love to invite you and your friends to join us in a Kauai-style celebration of Diwali that centers on the awareness of the eternal light of the Self!
We will be celebrating Diwali on Sunday, November 12TH, FROM 6:30pm to 8:15pm at our Kilauea home on Kolo Road and you and family/friends are invited!
Please RSVP by calling/texting Shivalaya at 808-639-9436 so we know how much chai and special gifts to prepare!
Diwali, which is a celebration of Light happens every October in India, and now on Kauai. It can be seen as a conscious gateway into the fast approaching season of ‘the holidays’, as well as a gateway for self-transformation.
The true purpose of Diwali is the awakening to the awareness of the eternal light of the Soul. In Hinduism, Diwali celebrates the coming of the goddess Lakshmi who bears special gifts for those who invoke her. In a Brahma Kumaris Celebration, we are not invoking Lakshmi, but honoring the divine qualities and virtues she carries, that reflect our true essence. Our aim is to ignite those divine qualites within and bring them to life in all our relationships.
We invite you to join us in this luminous celebration and encourage you to bring a new, free-standing candle to light during the ceremony to focus and ignite that special quality within you that you wish to bring to life during 2018. This special quality is also the gift/blessing you give to our world. As a touchstone of your participation in the ceremony, you are encouraged to take the candle home with you!
You become a bestower by focusing upon your deepest, purest aim/s for yourself and the world. Our individual and collective intentions will serve as a positive force and a jump start to complete this year and begin the next in a conscious, joyful way.
As we invoke our perfection and the perfection of humanity, we create a happy future for all!
Celebrate Diwali November 12th @ 6:30pm Please call or text 808-639-9436 for directions and to rsvp
Aloha Beautiful Soul,
Thank you for visiting Enlightened Answers. These writings are my on-going churnings of deep spiritual studies and reflection upon the self - Along with this, there is constant meditation. Both meditation and daily attention to spiritual study which leads to awareness of the self have immeasurably nourished me and increased the joy of living and serving I'm able to experience in these times of great and sudden change.
It has also been my fortune to be situated in the Hawaiian Islands in the midst of the Pacific Ocean where I landed with my son 31 years ago. The past 25 years, I've been on the oldest, northern most, and serenest island of Kauai.
Many don't realize that Hawaii is made up of a chain of seven islands- Kauai, the Garden Isle, is situated at the top of the chain and is often called the "crown" of the Hawaiian islands. Kauai is also called the Island of the Golden Light, and the Island of Discovery for good reason! Truly this is where I was led in order to discover the wonders of the inner golden light ignited by the Supreme Light. It is here that I continually reinforce the awareness that- I am a peaceful, loving soul, a being of light*- just as you are. This journey has led me to surrender the rest of this life to the Divine Beloved, the One who loves unconditionally and who teaches the method to return to our original nature of purity, love, wisdom, & altruism. Through these writings- I am building a fortress of light with the pure intention that others may strengthen their own light.
For over fifteen years, I've had the fortune of traveling to northern India- to the state of Rajasthan- where the Brahma Kumari World Spiritual University is perched atop Mt. Abu.
This wonderful oasis of light is also called Madhuban which means Forest of Honey. It is a pilgrimage place dedicated to the Remembrance of who we truly are -- eternal souls. This awareness also brings us into the natural relationship and remembrance of the Eternal One- the Creator God- Beloved of All.
I go to Madhuban to meditate and study in a fully spiritually charged atmosphere where others are there for the same purpose. We are a spiritual family who enjoy solitude, as well as unity. We enjoy delicious spiritually charged meals, beautiful gardens, angelic music, and communing with like-hearted souls from across the globe. Madhuban is a pure, divine container that serves those who wish to live according to the highest spiritual codes. It is a place designed for souls to have a deep, rich, and loving meeting with the Supreme Soul. My annual journeys there have enriched my life immeasurably, beyond words. I've become a peaceful soul who honors the peaceful soul of you. I am a lover of Truth and hope that you are able to glean deep soul answers from these writings. Take the jewels that touch you, make them your own, and share them, for "giving and receiving freely" is a good part to have at this time of great transformation.
