Let’s take a peek into the Flames that Speak of our Inner Lights before the Zoroastrian New Year

Our group of Halton volunteers from Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network encompasses a diversity of backgrounds, including Iranians. As we are approaching the Persian New Year (Nawroz) celebated this year on March 19th, we are dedicating this article to all Zoroastrians that see the fire element as a sign of purity and truth.

The Inner Flame project was born during the preparations for the Festival of Inner Lights 2023, that was celebrated in December, closer to the New Year. We wanted to collect everyone’s fresh and sincere feedback right after the guided collective meditation, making sure that one’s heart will speak the truth and be in a state of purity. Then we gathered together all these paper flames as One Fire, expressing our Togetherness and Oneness in spirit.

Enjoy this article, it represents a Journey within many other people, who opened their hearts to us, also we are sharing knowledge on Nawruz and Zoroastrians coming from our Sahaja Yogis that were born in this faith, as well from Shri Mataji NIrmala Devi – the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation – who was born on March 21st, 1923, who talked about sharing Her birthday with the Nawruz celebration.

Best Nawruz Wishes and Ask from Shri Mataji – the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation

“I wish all of you a very very happy New Year today because it is Nowruz, the day when [Prophet Zarathustra /Zoroaster] started His work on this Earth.

On this day I would request you to think of Love all the time. Love is all knowledge. Knowledge is all love.

There is nothing beyond. If you have knowledge, it has to pass the Test of Love.

All the Sahaja yogis who have come here, all the other people who have joined us here, who are celebrating this earthly birthday of mine. I am very thankful, very grateful and I am filled with great joy and happiness.”

Feedback collected during our One Flame Project

1. Somebody wrote as feedback (see the flame attached under the text below):

“I’m so greateful that I have had the blessing of learning from the sahaja yoga team here.

I am grateful, so incredibly grateful, for their guidance and inspired by their generosity.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”

2. Somebody else wrote on their paper flame as feedback about our Inner Lights Festival 2023 amazing event:

“All thoughts of lists and distractions dissapeared. For two hours I felt peace, love and joy. Thank you.”

We had a chance to talk to the person who provided that feedback. It was our friend Kyla’s mom, who was visiting her daughter for only a couple of days and joined the event on a whim. She told us personally how much she enjoyed it and how surprised she was that ‘that state of meditation‘ (we call it Thoughtless Awareness), was achieved so easily. She confessed to us that used to be a teacher and she still has a very hectic mind, so she would never have imagined to have her mind so relaxed, for so long, and effortlessly! She was very glad that joined the event. We received a “mom’s hug” and thanks!

Days later, her daughter Kyla recognized her mom’s handwriting on a flame, and she helped us deciphering it, as we were not really able to. It was like a full circle, getting her mom’s verbal feebdack right after the event, then reading later her “inner flame”.

Many of these flames were shared also at the Orchard Hub, where our Free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes and events are trying to bring: mental and emotional healing, cultural diversity and Seeds of Joy for our beloved Burlington community.

Let’s continue exploring other beautiful Feedback provided via the Flame project as well additional photos and video-clips. Enjoy!

This article is dedicated to the special New Year Events offered by Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network of volunteers here in Burlington community, tbis time reflective of the positive feedback received from those coming to our regular meditation classes or events.

Take a Peek at Orchard’s Flames that are sharing their Inner Lights after the New Year Potluck!

On Sat Dec 30, 2023 we met for the last time that year (whoever was able to join that day :-)) for a Special “Cool Kids and Parents” Free Public workshop offered in our community, followed by a Potluck Lunch and Going Deeper Seminar for our regular participants to the Halton Classes of Sahaja Yoga Meditation. It was truly a beautiful afternoon of sweet collective joy and sahaj togetherness!

We also took the time to reach and enjoy the feedback collected on our Flames during the Inner Lights Festival.

We felt inspired to decorate the Orchard Hub space with these beautiful flames that are bringing hope and light into this troubled world. It was great to see how appreciative was the Burlington Community for this event! Even children wanted to provide their feelings on the paper flames! Try to decipher some of the hand writing.. if you can.

We also should mention that this amazing team of Halton Volunteers was inspired to create the 100 Seeds of Joy community initiative in 2023 and offered 400+ workshops (classes, events, seminars) that year. All dedicated to the emotional, spiritual and mental health, ultimately meant to bring and transmit joy!

Let’s take a peek into more such Flames that Speak of Inner Lights, gathered from the participants to the Festival of Inner Lights 2023 as well the ones that were shared and enjoyed during the New Year Potluck Celebration for the Orchard SYMN Team.

This is us, with our 100 Seeds of Joy community initiative that started in 2023 and keeps going:
