Welcome!
TO OUR COMMUNITY NAPERVILLE CULTURAL CENTER The Naperville Cultural Center classes and workshops are based on the premise of the journey, not the destination - the constant and beautiful search for self, meaning or expression. Art, culture and life knows no boundaries and your expression of it is your true place of freedom. The motto 'Peace through Understanding' has been met with question, yet it is all very simple - if the individual finds peace in his or her self, so shall the world. | Today's TOP CELEBRATIONS AROUND TOWN PRESENTING INDIA! ‘Presenting India!’, an event hosted by Abhyaasa Yoga Studio in downtown Naperville, is about a variety of Indian cultures, not just a single culture within India. When you google the question, how many languages are spoken in India, the answer varies from there are 417 languages to there are 18 major languages and 1600 dialects. Indian foods and customs are equally as diverse. For the typical outsider, maybe one who is a beginning yogi or a visiting an Indian restaurant for the first time, it can be a long journey to become a authority of the philosophies and connoisseur of the flavors. At ‘Presenting India!’ Sarita Sharma will demonstrate how to prepare a north Indian vegetarian dish as well as provide dinner following discussion and the musical performance. The discussion will be provoked by two film clips. One called ‘Yoga Unveiled’ and the other ‘Ragas Unveiled’. If there is interest, the writer and director of these films may visit Naperville during a full screening at a later date. Often, even after decades of yoga or Indian music study, the student will still consider him or herself to be just a novice. Yoga has been a practice in India for more than five millennia. It is a physical exercise, but ultimately it is about the health of the mind, body and spirit. For some, it is strictly a spiritual journey. Ragas, like hymns, can vary as such. For some, it is performance or duty, but for others they are conduits of sound from heaven. MORE>> |
