Programme

Theme of the Symposium

Ecology is at the heart of all the problems at the beginning of the 21^st century.  Nobody today can reasonably question the need to restore the balance between the two phenomena: human life and the natural world.  The wisdom of yoga teaches us that humanity and nature are indistinguishably linked and that humanity must consider the natural world as its Earth Mother.  It is thus by reactivating the lost union between humanity and nature, its equilibrium, that we will be able to find the answers to the problems of the planet.

It is above all a problem of education of which spirituality, the living consciousness of the links which unite humanity and nature, is the key.  Thus education must start by the knowledge and practice of internal ecology, and as this becomes personified the external ecology will naturally be reflected.  To attempt the opposite is wrong and recent events prove this to us.

Ecorituality® is this union between ecology and spirituality.

This seminar permits us to approach the techniques so that each one of us can pursue and enhance the impulse within themselves their family, their home, and in their daily life. This embraces everybody and the rituals that we will learn will be the means to guide us on the path to renewal and knowledge.

Lecturer

Swami Satyasangananda Saraswati (Satsangi)

Alongside Paramahamsa Satyananda, until he attained his Mahasamadhi on 5 December last year, she has for 20 years applied this ecorituality every day and the outcome both on the natural environment and on the living conditions of her neighbours is tangible. Travelling each year to the ashram at Rikhia we can testify to the change, from poverty to prosperity and from ignorance to knowledge.

This will be her first visit to France as the principal representative of the works of Paramahamsa Satyananda overseas and it is a great honour for us and for the French people to receive her.

The programme will be given in English and translated into French.  It will take place within the ashram where the yogic life style will provide excellent help to changing our behaviour.
