live for eachother

This year the European Yoga Festival willfocus on one of the “Sutras for the Aquarian Age” as given byYogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga and White Tantric Yoga: “Recognize thatthe other person is you.”

This sutra refers to the tendency of the egoto judge others and in doing so feel separate from others. Through the practiceof Yoga our Soul, or Infinite Self, finally conquers the ego. Because the Soul is the‘Ek Ong Kar’, the One Creative Energy that abides in each of us equally, we arethen able to perceive the other as ‘me’ – hisor her Soul is my Soul – it is the One in All.

Yogi Bhajan expressed this wonderfullywhen he said:

“Don’t live with each other, don’t live ateach other – live for each other…”,

this being the inspiration for this year’s yogafestival..

„Our whole essence is a discipline, and ourhighest point in discipline is to be in lovewith others and carry them with our headand heart both.“ Yogi Bhajan

what happens at the yoga festival?About 2000 people from as many as 20 different countries cometogether for 8 days on the grounds of a country estate in thecentre of France, to practice Kundalini Yoga, White Tantric Yogaand other activities related to the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. Each year the Festival highlights a specific aspect of Yoga, but italso provides special attention to newcomers who have little orno experience of Yoga practice.

The day starts early with yoga and meditation in a big meadowas the sun slowly rises. Breakfast is simple vegetable soup andsome oranges and bananas; this is part of an ancient purifyingdiet to facilitate the yoga.

After breakfast the camp breaks up into language groups, calledMissels. In these small communities we create the group consciousness of the festival through special exercises and medi -ta tions, sharing information and getting to know each other. A period of doing Karma Yoga, the selfless action that organisesand maintains this festival, is also part of the Missel meeting.

Later in the morning, there are a variety of workshops to choose from. In the afternoon there is a large all camp yogaworkshop, with translation into the different languages.

Dinner is the second part of the diet: mung beans and rice, hotsauce, carrots and salad. Afterwards there is free time for socialand family activities as well as a bazaar, study groups, and sports.If this is your first time, there will be a basic introduction toKundalini Yoga and the Yoga Festival, in your own language, atthe same time as the evening yoga class.

The highlight of the festival is a three-day White Tantric Yoga session. White Tantric Yoga is a very powerful and spirituallypurifying yoga, where couples sit in long lines and practiceKundalini Yoga mantras, mudras (hand postures) and breathingexercises. Another part of the festival is the children’s camp forages 2 to 12. Adults are welcome to participate in this camp forone day as part of their Karma Yoga experience. There is also aprogram for teenagers, complete with workshops and outings.

The Yoga Festival is a lot of fun, but also provides a challenge.The optimum purifying and transforming effects will happen ifyou allow yourself to remain on the diet and stay in the energyof the site for the whole eight days.
