How to Awaken the Natural Love of the Heart with Darshan Lotichius
May 3 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Join Darshan Lotichius who comes to us from Ananda Europe to talk about his new book ‘Awakening the Natural Love of the Heart’ which is an exploration of the thoughts shared by Swami Sri Yukteshwar in his book The Holy Science.
Dharshan is a long-time disciple of Yogananda and Ananda minister who will help us to discover the answers to the following questions:
- What is the right action in any given situation?
- How do we cultivate a deeper wisdom?
- How do we ask the right questions of life?
- How do we sensitively listen for the answers?
- How do we open ourselves to the unfoldment of the heart’s natural love?

Wisdom is productive only when it’s practical Yet how often, when confronted with life’s endless dilemmas, have you asked the golden question: What is wise in this situation?
Indeed, when you do, you cultivate practical wisdom, especially if you not only ask the question but also train yourself to listen for the answer. You may then become very successful, for wisdom breeds success on all levels. But true wisdom can only come if we ask an even more pertinent question underlying all our human striving: What is life all about?
Sri Yukteswar, a great yoga master who lived in India from 1855 until 1936, incarnated wisdom in its purest form and shared it freely with all who were sincerely seeking it. He postulates, and then scientifically demonstrates, that the seed of Self-realization lies buried in one’s heart, that it is the heart’s natural love, a heavenly gift from Nature, that needs to unfold.
Thus, this sage asks us to recognize and overcome the inner tensions that impede this love from manifesting. And he gives us marvelous tools to do so.
Based on his teachings, this book includes stories of introspection and inner discoveries that, if you soulfully absorb their inspiration, will make your heart bloom like a lotus flower. Sri Yukteswar will then not fail to make good his promise: with this love fully developed, you are ready to move forward–with your life and with yourself–on the way to unconditional happiness.
