You Are Invited

Conversations With Walking Yogi Nishit Patel

by Jennifer Rose & Better Existence | August 29, 2014

Yes, you are invited to hang out in the sublime company of yogis. You may know some of us from the old days at the Himilayan Institute in New York City, where Nishit was the director. You may be a student of Nishit's from post institute days. You may not yet have met Nishit at all, but be curious about the breadth and depth of yoga and meditation as a practice, a philosophy, a lifestyle. ALL are welcome. You can subscribe right here, on this website. 

I know you are busy. I know it seems impossible to commit to one more thing. But just once a month, if you set aside that first Wednesday and join us, it might go something like this: You slog home from your job exhausted. You ask yourself, "Self, why did you commit to this?" You almost don't log in, but somehow you do. Then, when you make the connection, you think you can hear someone smiling. How is that possible? And that smile settles into your heart. You already feel a little lighter. Then the conversation begins. These topics are not usually discussed. What is the purpose of life? What is death? What is eternity? The smile in your heart is joined by an expansive feeling of possibility unfolding. You feel inspired and uplifted.  It feels like home. At the end of the hour you feel like only a few minutes have passed. You hang up feeling encouraged and ready to transform your tomorrows. This is why yoga-minded people look for opportunities to join together for discussion, for satsang. 

Over the years, many of Nishit's students have relocated across the country and around the world. When I met him in 1998 the technology did not exist to overcome the obstacle of distance, but today, it hardly matters at all. 

When I relocated to Portland in 2012, I knew I would miss Nishit's weekly classes at Three Jewels in New York City. (Mondays at 6:30 PM). Now I see the wonderful opportunity, and I want to include as many old and new friends as I can in these conversations. 

So, check under your sofa cushions, or cancel that Hulu subscription you never use... I jest. But Nishit is really making himself available for a price that represents a token of appreciation each month, and making it possible for us to shine a little in that bathing glow that lights us up within. This is an awesome opportunity.

Your participation is as you wish. You don't even have to join the live call. You can download the recordings later at no additional cost. One subscription covers all. You can submit questions, or just listen in. 

To join the conversation, or to gain access to the recordings, click here, or choose the Events tab. You will be able to read more about the event and, especially, read Nishit's invitation. Hope to see you Wednesday, September 3rd at 7pm New York Time at the first Conversation.
