In response to the AAUW to speak to young girls working on self-esteem issues at the local middle school...this booklet was born. i updated some of the photos to bring in students from my classes in Tahoe
Mandukya Upanishad does not talk about trust or belief in God; rather addresses one’s day to day experience of waking, dreaming and deep sleep and explains the truth based on an experience which is common to all. Thanks to its universal nature, anybody anywhere in the world can appreciate the beauty and the essence of this Upanishad. On the lighter side, since it comprises of only twelve shlokas, it is apt for modern day culture of instant gratification and can be called ‘Self-realization in twelve minutes’.
Through the explanation of the Omkara, this Upanishad bridges the gap between the known and the unknown states of consciousness.
It explains Omkara Upasana or the method of contemplating on Omkara.
‘Flowering of Bliss’ is based on a series of talks on ‘Upadesha Saram’ delivered by Sri Prabhuji and contains the essence of Sri Ramana Maharshi’s teachings. All our lives, we seek eternal happiness in the outer world, forgetting that it is our own essential nature. Is it possible to transcend this conditioning? In order to facilitate this, Sri Ramana Maharshi revealed the direct path to Self-realization and permanent bliss through the process of self-inquiry. This is a truly transformational commentary on ‘Upadesha Saram’ because it contains innumerable insights which help us to assimilate these truths and relate them to our day-to-day experience. It is a must-have guide book for every seeker.

respect to innumerable sages (Rishis) and Spiritual Masters (Sadgurus) who have strived to uplift humanity by teaching the message of essential divinity in all of us, we are releasing this book on the occasion of Guru Poornima. The book presents the teachings based on the traditional non-dual teachings of Advaita by Shri Adi Shankaracharya Bhagavatpada. We hope that this book will be of help to the seekers in understanding the message of Vedas.
The document discusses the five yamas or restraints in yoga practice: Saucha (purity), Santosha (contentment), Tapas (spiritual discipline), Svadhyaya (study of self), and Ishvara Pranidhana (surrender to God). It provides explanations and examples for each yama, emphasizing the importance of purity of thought and action, contentment with what one has, focused spiritual practice and study, and surrendering the ego to God or a higher power. Maintaining these yamas is said to lead to enlightenment, peace, and understanding of one's purpose and role in the universe.
Existence is Bliss. It is Bliss Supreme. In this very life we can realize the Supreme Bliss which is our own true nature. One who realizes the Supreme Bliss becomes immortal in this very life. We are indeed fortunate to have the gift of Taittiriya Upanishad from Krishna Yajurveda. It describes the Nature of Supreme Realization in a very lucid way.
This document provides an introduction to the science of Kundalini Yoga. It discusses Kundalini energy, which lies dormant at the base of the spine, and the practice of awakening this energy to rise up the central channel (sushumna nadi) through six energy centers (chakras) in the body. The goal is to unite Kundalini with Shiva at the crown chakra, achieving self-realization. It outlines the four stages of sound from the subtlest (para) to the gross (vaikhari). It emphasizes the importance of purification, meditation, and developing dispassion to control the mind and realize eternal bliss within.

Introduction to upanishad (mundaka & mandukya upanishad )muskaan maurya
The Upanishads are philosophical texts considered to be an essential part of the Vedas. They discuss meditation and spiritual knowledge aimed at guiding students to the truth about ultimate reality. Two key Upanishads are discussed - the Mundaka Upanishad and the Mandukya Upanishad. The Mundaka Upanishad presents a dialogue where the teacher explains the concepts of lower knowledge focused on rituals and higher knowledge focused on realizing the imperishable truth of Brahman. The Mandukya Upanishad emphasizes the oneness of the individual self and Brahman, and the realization of non-duality as the goal to overcome suffering.
1. Humans are comprised of multiple bodies or sheaths including the physical body, vital energy body, mental body, intellect body, subtle ego, and the soul.
2. The physical body is comprised of organs, tissues, and skeletal structure. The vital energy body provides life energy through various energies like prana. The mental body is the seat of feelings, emotions, and desires containing conscious, subconscious, and unconscious aspects.
3. Higher bodies like the intellect body and subtle ego relate to more advanced spiritual concepts while the soul is the god principle within each person. Understanding these subtle bodies is part of spiritual science's more holistic view of human existence beyond just the physical.
The document provides an overview of the Upanishads and specifically discusses the Kathopanishad. Some key points:
- The Upanishads are part of the Vedas and contain spiritual knowledge revealed to sages. Kathopanishad is presented as a dialogue between Nachiketa and Yama, the lord of death.
- Nachiketa is granted three boons by Yama and uses the third boon to learn about life after death. Yama teaches Nachiketa about the nature of the unchanging Self and how to realize the Self through yoga and meditation.
- Various analogies are provided, like the chariot analogy, to explain the relationship between the senses, mind, intellect and the
The document provides an overview of the Mandukya Upanishad. It discusses that the Upanishad contains 12 verses that describe the four states of consciousness - waking, dreaming, dreamless sleep, and a fourth transcendent state called Turiya. Each state is represented by a letter of the sacred syllable AUM. The waking state corresponds to A, the dreaming state to U, and dreamless sleep to M. Turiya, as the unmanifest absolute reality, corresponds to the whole of AUM. Realizing the oneness of individual consciousness and absolute consciousness in Turiya leads to liberation.
Practical Pooja in 20 Minutes provides a concise 20-minute pooja process for busy individuals. It begins with creating an ambience and purification rituals like pavitrikaranam.

The document advocates pooja's ability to direct the mind, enhance concentration, and refine one's soul
The document provides an overview of the Upanishads and analyzes the Isha Upanishad mantras. Some key points:
- Upanishads represent a quest for truth and contain higher spiritual knowledge revealed to sages. The Isha Upanishad discusses attaining immortality by escaping rebirth.
- The mantras describe the nature of the eternal Self or Brahman as pervading all yet distinct from the mind and senses. Seeing one's own Self in all beings ends hatred.
- Interpretations of vidya and avidya, which are referenced in mantras about worship, differ. Vidya generally means spiritual knowledge while avidya means ignorance, but opinions vary on their precise definitions.
Chakras are seven prominent energy centers within the body that regulate energy flow. Each chakra is associated with different emotional and physical aspects of being. The root chakra relates to physicality and security, the naval chakra to pleasure and sexuality, and the solar plexus chakra to willpower and ego. Higher chakras like the heart chakra relate to love, the throat chakra to communication, and the crown chakra to spirituality. Balancing the chakras through meditation improves mental, physical, and emotional well-being and affects life positively.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation and spiritual practices. It describes how meditation can lead to peace of mind by bringing psychic balance and relief from sorrows. It discusses the different brain wave states associated with meditation - from beta waves during normal thinking to alpha, theta, and delta waves during deeper meditation states which are associated with visualization, concentration, insight and feelings of oneness. Mantras are described as sounds that liberate the mind through pulsation and meaning. Specific mantras like Baba Nam Kevalam are discussed. Meditation is likened to a laser that focuses the mind and leads to psychic force.
The Upanishads are sacred Hindu scriptures composed between 800-500 BCE that discuss the ultimate nature of reality. They teach that [1] Brahman is the single, eternal, unchanging reality beneath the illusion of multiplicity. Atman, the true self, is identical to Brahman. However, due to [2] avidya or ignorance, humans experience [3] samsara, the cycle of rebirth governed by [4] karma. The goal is to attain [5] moksha or liberation from samsara through enlightenment of the identity of Atman and Brahman.

The document then provides details on the location and attributes of each individual chakra. It also discusses meditation techniques that can help unblock and balance the chakras.
The document describes the celestial journey of the soul from its origin with God to its entrapment in the material world and journey back to union with God. It explains that God created the creation through the power of Naam, including various spiritual regions, and souls descended into the material realm. Souls undergo transmigration until taking a human form, which allows the opportunity to be liberated from the cycle. When souls cry out for liberation, God sends perfect Masters to guide them back through practices like meditation, initiation, and following the Master's teachings. By removing layers covering the soul, Masters take it beyond the material realms and help it unite again with God in its original home.
The document discusses the seven main chakras in the human body - Muladhara, Swadhisthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna and Sahasrara.

In each of us there is a Mothering energy, known for centuries as the key to spiritual enlightenment. It lies dormant, coiled in the Sacrum bone at the base of the spine. It is called Kundalini,
meaning feminine coiled energy. When awakened, we feel a
gentle cool fountain of energy above the top of the head and
cool vibrations on the hands. Sometimes a warm energy is felt as the Kundalini encounters friction in its path - however this will
clear to cool vibrations. The awakened Kundalini connects us
with our spirit and the universal love that surrounds and
pervades everywhere. This union of our spirit with the Divine
energy is the true Yoga event - yoga means ‘union’ or ‘yoking’.
Sahaja Yoga means ‘born with you’. Everyone has this energy
which can now be awakened spontaneously. With our attention
in the flow of cool vibrations above our head, we go into pure
thoughtless meditation. Then, with simple short daily practice,
we quickly experience the peace, joy and other amazing
benefits that this meditation brings. No need to believe, we
simply feel the truth as it manifests on our central nervous
system.
Founded by Shri Mataji in 1970, Sahaja Yoga is based on
principles of spirituality, humility and love that are over 2000
years old.

Kundalini Yoga is an ancient practice dealing with expanding consciousness through energy centers called chakras. It involves mixing life force energy (prana) with eliminating energy (apana) through breathing exercises, body locks, exercise sets, postures, gestures, and mantras. This generates pressure to force the kundalini energy to rise up the spine and activate the chakras. The seven major chakras are located along the spine and are associated with different parts of the body, elements, colors, and soul desires. Activating each chakra impacts one's consciousness and relationships with the self and world.

This document proposes the creation of a Sustainable Tourism Pilot Program in Nevada that would leverage existing efforts to protect Lake Tahoe and its watershed. The program would involve collaborative instruction from various institutions on sustainable habitat and land management. It would establish a dedicated team of "Nevada Travel Rangers" and create a roadmap to measure, monitor and sustain tourism impacts over time. The goal is to find ways to make political collaboration on sustainability a renewable resource for Nevada.

The document discusses establishing a sustainable tourism program at a local university to help develop a long-term shared vision and stewardship roadmap for Lake Tahoe's tourism industry. It proposes having students co-create the 20-year roadmap in collaboration with tourism organizations and experts to address capacity, science, heritage, and sustainable models. The program would train students for new careers in destination stewardship and conservation while enabling them to actively shape the sustainable future of Lake Tahoe tourism.
2021 TRPA Consultant Request for Proposal to bring stakeholders together to define a 20-year Roadmap for Sustainable Tourism and Stewardship Recreation for the Tahoe basin/watershed
I will upload a more current version, as this one was written 5 years ago
As Tahoe's Geotourism Liaison (appointed by National Geographic Center for Sustainable Destination in May 2007), and Executive Director of Sustainable Tahoe, my mission is to inspire the Tahoe traveler to choose activities, adventures and experiences that will sustain or enhance the unique geographical, cultural, aesthetic, heritage and local well being of the Lake Tahoe watershed.
Please let me know how this has enlightened you easy fun ways YOU can deepen your connection to the 8 Wonders of Tahoe, while reducing your carbon footprint.
In Service to Sustainable Prosperity with Water Clarity,
Jacquie
Mick Dodge offers Earthgym training sessions that use natural materials like sticks, stones, trees, and water to reconnect people to the land through simple movements and habits, with the goals of countering issues like sedentary lifestyles and promoting health. The sessions focus on remembering, recovering, and restoring one's natural connection to the environment through activities like walking, jumping, dancing, and crafting using natural materials. Participants are encouraged to shape shift their cultural story and relationship to different habitats through these movement-based land activities.
The document introduces several individuals with unique skills related to forests, nature, and primitive living. Some of the individuals introduced include Huckleberry Leonard, an old hippie peace activist who listens to trees; Will of Stone, an Earthgym guide who partners with Mick on adventures; and Archer of the Forest, a master archer and tracker with primitive survival skills. The individuals have various roles such as teachers, guides, problem solvers, and protectors of the forest.
DRAFT of Proposed Geotourism Course based on Sustainable Tahoe's annual demonstration of sustainable tourism Tahoe Expo.
Geotourism Adventure Tracks become an active learning classroom where students build tangible fluency in the 12 geotourism principles, 4steps and TriNomic recipe for sustainable long-term prosperity (that includes water clarity)
What if destinations were sustained and enhanced by the people who visited them? Lake Tahoe, like many special places can no longer afford visitors who do not become stewards at some level. Geotourism inspires visitors with locally hosted activities, that deepen the touch while reducing degrading impact. Long term prosperity = preservation.

This document contains page numbers for the publication "RenoTahoeTonight" ranging from page 26 to page 4544 in an inconsistent order. The document provides page numbers but no other contextual information.
This document contains a series of numbers followed by the phrase "RenoTahoeTonight". The numbers increment by 200 each line from 5150 to 5958. The consistent phrase "RenoTahoeTonight" suggests this document is related to events happening in Reno and Lake Tahoe tonight.
For those following the Tahoe Expo Reports, here is the report from 2011. Notice how the goals from lessons learned were delivered in the following years? The key now is the fully adopt and covert all tourism to geotourism. The lines have already formed (thanks to the Bay Area, Europeans and other visitors who enter the basin with a stewardship heart), so lets' lead by example in hosting our precious water in ways that will sustain or enhance it for the future.
This is the PPT version of the booklet, explaining the value of Lake Tahoe hosting 8 interlinked GeoCenters that host visitors to geotourism adventures from wherever they are in the basin - ensuring Tahoe' brand associates with 4-seasons of stewardship activities that preserve lake clarity and long term prosperity. Happy and willing to present on how to achieve this. Jacquie 775 298-2333
The 2014 Tahoe Expo continues Sustainable Tahoe's legacy of demonstrating a 21st 4-season geotourism menu of adventures that enrich visitors connection, understanding and experience of Tahoe's "8 wonders" (sky, water, plant, land, wildlife, culture, heritage, local well being), while reducing the carbon-loading impact that compromises water clarity.
Lead by Jonathan Tourtellot, ED of NGCSD...Geotourism emerged in1997 as a way to ' educate locals on the value of local authentic assets, reduce poverty and preserve world heritage sites'. A signed Charter was a first step in demonstrating commitment from local leaders to embrace the 12 principles that would ensure the regions sustainable prosperity on all fronts.
(In 2006)...200 travel experts rated 115 of the worlds top destinations based on the 12 geotourism principles. While the list, the destinations and scores have most likely shifted since then, the information explaining the criteria and impact preservation has on a destinations long term profit, local well being and environmental stewardship is valuable.
Sustainable Tahoe is a non-profit organization that aims to accelerate sustainability adoption in the Lake Tahoe region through connecting, facilitating, and promoting stewardship models. Their flagship program is the Tahoe Geotourism Expo, a 2-day event demonstrating sustainable tourism practices to over 750 people annually. By collaborating with over 50 other organizations across the Tahoe/Truckee watershed, the Expo showcases "GeoTracks" that are educational, fun experiences with low environmental impact. Sustainable Tahoe also works to build relationships between stakeholders, provide educational resources on geotourism, and facilitate collaboration to shift the region towards a more sustainable tourism economy.

How to Create a More Engaging and Human Online Learning Experience
The Earthgym booklet
1. Earth Gym
Why is it most enlightenment is reached after a retreat in
the wilderness? What is it about encountering natural
elements that brings so much clarity about life?
What is in the symphonic rhythms of wind, water, rock
and fire that bring us back to some primal part of
ourselves, where we feel re-aligned?
The Earth Gym is about accessing the power and magic
found by playing outside. And through this play,
enlivening principles of imagination, exploration,
cultivation and integration.
Principles whose teachers are found in the natural
elements of fire, wind, stone and water. There is a direct
connection between your mind and body.
There is a connection between your body and the earth.
The teaching of fire enlivens imagination, wind –
exploration, stone - cultivation and water – integration.
The earth's body has fire, wind, stone and water.
Human bodies have fire (an internal furnace), wind
(breath), bones (like stones) and water (blood and
fluids). Each element has a special story. The magic is
found in your ability to affect and enhance your body,
mind and spirit by bringing the wisdom of these elements
and their related principals, to life within you. You can
encounter and activate their wisdom through exploration
and play.
Whenever you have a challenge to resolve, go outside
and enliven your inner magic through the outer magic
around you. Magic that connects your natural state of
being with the natural elements of our planet earth.
Magic is in you and in the natural elements.
The Earth Gym is about encountering the playground of
the earth. It is a gym whose only dues are your
participation and willingness to play with an open mind
and heart. Your ability to receive the teachings and gifts
of the elements: fire, wind, stone and water.
You have been granted a lifelong membership to this
infinite learning ground. It comes fully equipped with
everything you need, and it's right outside your door,
waiting for you to come out and play.
2. Dance with the Fire
IMAGINATION
FIRE RHYTHM PASSION
To live from your imagination
is to live from your dreams,
your passion and the motion inside you. You are born
and your heart beats. This is the first rhythm that
maintains life in your body. Rhythm is also the 'fire' that
turns your food into energy. Your heart beats and you
imagine the life you will live.
Rhythm is in the earth and in you. As the sun moves
across the sky, as the river rushes to the sea, as the
flame pulses --rhythm moves and maintains life.
Rhythm is in your walk, your talk, your body, mind, and
emotions. When you feel your rhythm, life moves at a
comfortable pace, freeing your imagination and passion
to create the life you love to live.
Dancing activates imagination by giving it form. Dancing
also builds the agility, flexibility, and self-expression
necessary to harmonize with the others.
What happens when you match another person's
rhythm?
What happens when they match you? Play with dance
on your journey of self-discovery and fulfillment.
The range of rhythm
in dance is from slow
to fast-- fluid to
chaotic. Dancing is
emotional. Feel the
range of emotions
dance through you
and be released.
Explore this range to
discover the different
ways each emotional rhythm effects you, so when you
encounter these in your world, you will know how to
'dance with them'. They won't throw you off your own
natural rhythm. You will be able to incorporate them into
the beat and keep moving.
Finding your rhythm is playing with dance. Start from the
center of your body and move out. When a beat makes
you want to move -- dance with it. Mirror another
person's rhythm and try it on for a while.
Some rhythms will throw you out of balance; others will
soothe you, inspire you, motivate you and sustain you.
Observe and explore the rhythms around you, as you
listen and feel for your rhythm. The rhythm that keeps
you going, brings your spirit to life, and makes life fuller
and sweeter.
Dance is a sacred expression of who you are from many
angles. As you grow, change and evolve, so may your
rhythm. Imagination and passion are the magic in your
rhythm that drives you to fulfill your dreams.
Feel your rhythm -- fuel your inner fire and live from your
imagination.
3. Light a candle and begin dancing from the center of your
body. Let all your extended movements come from your
center - your navel, that is your place of power and it will
help you keep your balance in any move you make.
Move from your center. Eventually you will be captivated
by the beat that matches your rhythm within.
Notice the rhythms around you, at the lake, when it rains,
as the creeks flow, the bird sings and how they move life.
Notice your rhythm as you walk, dance and breathe.
It takes commitment and focus to express who you are
and follow your path.
Run with the Wind
EXPLORATION
WIND ENDURANCE QUEST
To explore is to keep wonder alive within you and
activate the endurance you need to complete your
journey.
You are born, your heart beats and then you encounter
wind, with your first breath. You begin to breathe and
awaken your desire to quest. Questing is a primal part of
human nature that can be awakened to empower your
ability to pursue your dreams and make sure you have
the stamina to 'go the distance'.
There are 3 parts to a quest: the departure, the
encounter and they return. When you return there is a
desire to share. This sharing is on the outbreath - your
word. You breath in and on the outbreath comes your
words, your wisdom, from your wind.
Like the infusion of spirit with matter -- The wind bends
the trees, shifts the sands, and moves through us as
breath.
Endurance honors the wisdom of the wind. Our long red
muscle fibers and sweat mechanism speak to our body's
ability to 'run the distance'. Endurance allows you to stay
in the game, pursue and fulfill your dreams -- continue
your quest. Notice how you feel when you begin to build
your strength. Note any differences in how you handle
social situations.
4. When you feel you do not have the endurance to stay in
your life struggle - pursue a quest. Write your question or
struggle down on a piece of paper, put it in your pocket
and take off -- outside. Run, hike, bike or swim until you
catch your wind.
You soon begin to settle into your pace, your rhythm; this
is the time of endurance that will awaken your inner
wisdom.
The wisdom will come from the earth by the time you
return. The wind chambers of your heart reflect these
vibrations in your answer as a song, thoughts, feelings or
words.
What you build in the body, you build in the mind and
your ability to handle whatever comes your way. Training
with the wind will develop the endurance you need to go
your distance and share your wisdom.
The magic of this training is found in the earth. Go
outside and encounter the wind, use your breath to free
your mind as you pursue your dreams. This is the driving
wisdom of the Earth Gym.
Use your wind (breath) to clear your mind.
Questing and endurance training involves any activity
that promotes the expansion of wind: Running, hiking,
biking, swimming, skiing or kayaking cultivates and
develop one's endurance and stamina.
What endurance activity do you currently enjoy?
Running
Walking
Biking
Skiing
Snowboarding
Rollerblading
Skating
Swimming
Other ____________
What would you like to explore?
This journey is open to anyone who is willing to listen,
learn
and follow their heart.
Take your inner struggles on
your next endurance 'quest'.
Listen for the answers that
come from the wind to your
words. Honor the wisdom of the
wind and the wisdom within
you.
5. Lift and Release the Stone
CULTIVATION
EARTH STRENGTH POWER
You are born, your heart beats,
you encounter your wind. Next you reach out to grip.
You grip, you hold on and then you release. To grip you
call on will. To hold on you need strength. To release you
trust.
The combination gives you power. The teaching of the
stone is about cultivating power.
Being powerful is having the strength to push through
the resistance, or back off and go another way. Grip,
hold on, or release.
Lifting stone (or iron) awakens the spirit of strength by
encountering resistance. Use your will to grip and lift,
pushing through the resistance. Then hold and slowly
lower the weight and feel the pull on your strength. Feel
the power within you come alive as you stand between
these forces of attraction: the pull of the earth on the
weight.
Building strength in the body involves the cycle of grip,
hold, lift, return and release. Start with gripping a stone
you can easily hold in your hand. Play and discover
ways to grip, hold, and release. Move from the center of
your body at all times. Your greatest force is from your
center; your center is your source that keeps you
balanced.
6. Please let this booklet as a springboard to creating a
lifestyle that supports and sustains you. At the same time
you will become a greater custodian of our precious
resources and inspire all you encounter.
Learn, grow and prosper in the true wealth of the world
and the only thing you take with you - your own inner
state of peace and freedom.
Dedicated to the freedom of inner peace.
