Namaste

Sangha is a sanskrit word that can be translated roughly as "association" or "assembly". Loosely it means one's spiritual community. Whether you find this in a church, your yoga studio, hiking with friends or in your lover's arms; it is a place where you feel connected to the whole. Identifying with a greater sense of oneself is an important part of health. In fact, Ayurveda says that the primary cause of disease is forgetting our true nature as spirit. The focus of this issue is to nuture the sense of commnunity by pointing out events in our local and global community that bring us together with like minded souls.

May all beings be with Peace,

    The universe comes to the rescue when a group of friends decides to step outside the lines of everyday existence. Armed with only a digital video camera, a list of questions and a dream... these suburban dads set out to become independent filmmakers in search of "the meaning of life". Miraculously, they are joined in their quest by many of the world's greatest spiritual leaders, authors, icons, and masters of our time. The movie weaves the novice filmmakers' remarkable adventures with the answers to life's ultimate questions in a journey that just may transform your way of seeing the world as "One."

    International Day of Peace

    September 21, 2006
    Everywhere on Planet Earth
    One minute of silence for peace
    At 12 noon local time.

    In 2001, all United Nations member countries passed Resolution 55/282, which "Declares that the International Day of Peace shall henceforth be observed as a day of global ceasefire and non- violence, an invitation to all nations and people to honor a cessation of hostilities for the duration of the Day...."

    Everyone can take part by observing one Minute of Silence for peace at 12 noon on September 21st in our homes, schools, businesses, street corners, at our computers - wherever we are. Anyone can also plan to do something creative in their own, local community or send a letter calling on their local spiritual and political leaders to take a stand for a day of nonviolence.
