Awakin Siliguri
"All revolutions are spiritual at the source. All my activities have the sole purpose of achieving a union of hearts." ‑‑Vinoba Bhave
Building on a tradition started by a small group of friends in California (USA), we invite you to come and share some silence with us at the Awakin Circle, Siliguri.
Every month, we come together to sit in silence for an hour, share some personal insights based on a reading for the second hour, and some tea afterwards. Our circle is not a religious or commercial venture. It is the creation of a time and space where we can step out of our hurly-burly lives and gain insight about ourselves. No agenda -- just a belief in inner change. :)
The format of circle is typically as follows:
| 5:30PM | An hour of collective silence; its unguided, without any instructions or music. For first-timers, this primer on meditation may be helpful. |
| 6:30PM | A short reading (will be sent via email), followed by a circle of personal stories and reflections from everyday life. |
| 7:15PM | Some dinner, hugs, and informal conversation. |
There is no charge and no one is expected to bring anything. People organically "pay-it-forward" to the world in their own ways.
