Krishna Janmashtami
Donation Based Event | 100% Proceeds donated to Anak Unik Children's Foundation, Ubud.
Namaste all,
Join us for this Donation Based Event where 100% Proceeds donated to Anak Unik Children's Foundation, Ubud.
Krishna Janmashtami celebrates the birthday of Krishna, and marks the start of the Festival season in India!
It is a time to reflect on the multi-faceted personality of Krishna as an invitation to each of us to live more fully in our own daily lives.
We come together in Ubud to celebrate this beautiful occasion with an open, community event paying homage to 3 aspects of life:
- The timeless Wisdom of the Bhagwad Gita, including the world-renowned wisdom on Karma Yoga - liberation while performing our responsibilities in the world.
- Myths & Stories of Krishna that show us the various roles we all play in life - from the innocence of childhood, to the deep longing of love, to fulfilling our purpose in the world and finally to mentoring the future generation
- Kirtan Singing to celebrate the Bhakti or devotional aspect in each of us. We sing together in the time-honoured traditions of call and response, coming together as one voice - expressing our longing for the intangible we feel through our heart!
Hosted by Awaken co-founders Manish Pole and Rana Abihayla at Sayuri Healing Foods Cafe in Ubud:
The evening is an Open Community event, everyone is welcome.
And 100% of all donations that you choose to make will be given to support the Anak Unik Children's Foundation, Ubud.

TESTIMONIALS
I feel that the training offered a very genuine experience, no gimmicks, a complete focus on exploring yoga at its fullest. This training enabled me to gain a much deeper understanding of the philosophy and history of yoga, how to apply that to my life, and how to embed it within the classes I share as a teacher.

And here I am closing 20 years with Manish Pole, my Yoga teacher, coach, and a friend which makes my yoga journey unique, enriching and has shaped me to be what I am today. Another deeper aspect of his teaching style is the ability to connect YOGA philosophy with the practice which provides context and reasoning to why we are doing what we are doing.

My journey with the Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training began from a deep inner necessity, a longing to find more meaning in life, and a genuine thirst for clarity and inner peace. The online videos offer great flexibility, allowing you to move at your own pace. For me, this meant taking time for reflection and meditation, integrating the teachings rather than simply consuming information.

As a student of the M&YTT programme with Manish, and as someone who's known and learned from Manish over the years, I'm grateful and deeply appreciative not just for the depth of knowledge presented through the course; but also the spirit of enquiry and seeking that is sparked and fostered.
