A Wave of Joy was Unleashed in Burlington by Romanian Christmas Carols and Iranian Hora Dance

We welcome you to experience the Wave of Joy that we experienced this Sunday during the Festival of Inner Lights 2024

Enjoy a few photos with our ad-hoc carolers who met for their first time right there at the Festival.

Romanian Carolers that also practice Sahaja Yoga Meditation are rehearsing together for the first time, 15 min before the festival is opening its doors. They are joining from London (Adina and her mom).Ioana (Burlington), Lavinia (Toronto) and Sorin (Vaughan)

Many took video-clips during the Festival of Inner Lights and we received some really cute ones.

How a Spiritual Evening can Cultivate Seeds of Joy that can sprout spontaneously in no time!

It was amazing, for us Romanians, to watch the surprising impact that our two Romanian Christmas Carols had on such an ethnically diverse audience. We’ve never seen such a wave of joy, that had various ripples, all triggered by people that had nothing in common with the Romanian culture. We are sure that it was the subtle effect of the positive energy accumulated in the hall during the festival, especially following words of wisdom and several collective meditations and prayers.

We are sharing below a collection of video-clips, watch them attentively! If you dare telling us that none of them make you either smile, or laugh, or maybe sing along or tapping the floor, we warn you: we cannot believe you!

    There was so much love in the room by the end of it! We prayed for the world and danced together – Events like this give so much hope for a peaceful world. We had a vey diverse multicultural audience which is given here in Canada but what made this event special was that the oneness and the love was felt. The videos and photos give evidence of this:)

    We were all super excited to be part of this event and were looking forward to this early celebration of Christmas with so much enthusiasm. We all enjoyed decorating the hall, welcoming the guests, meditation, music, dance and much more. This festival is becoming a norm for us every year and to bring different race together and feel like a big family is truly remarkable. As a bonus, we also had presence of some officials who not only participated, but also acknowledged our contributions to the community, which made this event even more special. Feeling blissful and content to be part of it. Thank you.

    The bliss was palpable and the artists were pure instruments of the divine. Inner lights is such an inspiration and movement towards integration and evolution of our society’s upward spiral. Every voice, every presentation, all the lamp lights lit, everyone was ignited! Loved each and every opportunity to celebrate with 100 seeds of joy and I especially love to dance “kolo” with the Iranians it was joyous! Let’s unite in peace and harmony and let’s meditate often together in person and online with all the wonderful classes! Collectivity is so inspiring at such events!
