| We live in the times of advanced electronic technologies
and yet peace of mind seems to be a privilege available only to
a few.
In India and other eastern countries, parents have the chart of
their new born done right at birth. That way, they would veer the
young ones in accordance to the fulfillment on each or the individual
destiny.
Since the beginning of the last century, the human race has progressively
been gearing to raise the standard of living of the Orient and to
develop the awareness of the inner selves in the Occident.

romance, family, work and more. For new comers, who are booking
their appointment for Vedic Astrology consultation, know that the
tools for self-improvement in the terms of self-discipline are obtainable
during your appointment.
Come meet this extraordinary vedic astrologer and bring your questions
about this ancient science.
The Vedic Astrology question and answer session will be concluded
with the Light Meditation.
“ The Light Meditation is the simplest way of activating
the heart & tuning to the Devine within. I learned it from Sai
Baba’s teachings & in the spirit of simple living and
high thinking, I will gladly share some revelations from personal
experience.”
Private sessions (1 hour - 1 hour 15 min) at PCYH - special rate:
$180. Call now to schedule your session!
Vujka Andrich was introduced to Vedic Astrology in London in 1974
and now practices in Boulder, Colorado. Some people call her a Poet,

Kirtan
With Satyaa and Pari |
8:00 pm |
“Because
we are singing we're getting happiness, and because we are happy,
we just have to sing! It is both the cause and effect of our divine
happiness! It is great to sing and feel your own heart dancing in
your chest and feeling how this dance expands and touches others.”
Satyaa´s and Pari´s music, is mostly self-composed mantras
and devotional songs, and also includes some beautiful traditional
bhajans. Satyaa´s rich voice and devotion emanate a contagious
fire which carries listeners directly back to their own hearts.
Their music in live performances has this Divine spark that ignites
the fire within; the fire for truth, for God, for love. Satyaa and
Pari share their music and their love at the Alexis Zorbas center
in Corfu, Greece where they live in summer, and during the winter
months at various yoga centers in Europe and now, for the first
time, in the US. For more information about Satyaa & Pari and
