BIG BEAR YOGA FESTIVAL

We are so excited to celebrate the release of our amazing LOVE themed issue! This week we had a chance to connect with some of the amazing presenters at this year’s Bhakti Fest taking place in Joshua Tree, CA this Sept where the Yoga Love team will be! We asked some of our favorite artists and presenters to share with us some thoughts on what they have learned about LOVE. Check out their thoughts on love below.

Dj Drez

Love itself is perfect and it exceeds the most beautiful definitions.

BIG BEAR YOGA FESTIVAL

Krishna Das

You don’t have to create Love or Happiness, just uncover it. This is what happens over time as we find a way to live without fear, and with an open heart. Real Love is like the sunshine. It shines on everything everywhere. I have no doubts that love is who we truly are.

What I learned about love
In this journey of life on the path of Bhakti Yoga,I have learned that love can be shared – beyond species – in that creatures share love and compassion beyond their species like the tiger that nurses piglets, cats that care for lil chicks, and that great bond that can thrive amongst humans, creatures, and all of the plant world. Love is the perfect symbiosis of our relationship with our living sacred Earth.

Love is our embodied super alchemy supporting our immune system, longevity, and flow states, and yet can be non-local such as the love in from wisdom beings, Gurus beyond time and space. Love nourishes us when the desert of life is dry when we feel the load we carry is almost going to break. Love gives us buoyancy. Every day, we can realize that love is breath – an ocean that is breathing us now and ultimately as Ram Dass, whispers to us, “love is non-judgemental awareness.”

May we open to the ocean of breath as love and may all beings be transformed in Divine love as our very nature.

BIG BEAR YOGA FESTIVAL

Nina Rao

This is a verse from a devotional prayer that Sri Siddhi Ma sang to Maharaj-ji Neem Karoli Baba:

Yourself devoid of attributes, you shower love and grace on all,
Desireless yourself, you are the creator of the Universe.
Formless, yet thou art the true eternal Siddha, The God of all, you are known to be bound by pure love.

BIG BEAR YOGA FESTIVAL

SRIDHAR SILBERFEIN

Love can be very fleeting, here one moment and gone the next. Best to immerse oneself in the inner love of the divine and be happy in the moment

BIG BEAR YOGA FESTIVAL

JAI DEV SINGH

Love is simple, wisdom is love

BIG BEAR YOGA FESTIVAL

Petra at The Sound Mind Garden

Love abides in pure motive. Love wants nothing of you, and everything for you. May all beings find happiness. Sarva Mangalam.

Allison Eaton

Love is the answer to everything.

Love is the highest and truest of all frequencies amplified in the presence of sacred community – ‘Divasonic’

Egemen

My time on this planet I have learned that everything is here to teach me how to love.

BIG BEAR YOGA FESTIVAL

NIDHI PANDYA

What I have learned about love is that we often lock love in our hearts and may end up spending our entire life in shrinking, terrifying scarcity. But when we open the door of our heart and let love flow, we can see it grow. And as it grows, it transforms our own life and the lives of others; it fills all dark spaces with light and eases all density into flow.

BIG BEAR YOGA FESTIVAL

RADHIKA DAS

I’ve learned that to love means to serve. To put aside, sacrifice and tolerate the discomfort of material life in order to give and share practices, like kirtan, that will enliven our true identity – the soul.

Openness and healing at all levels. Om

Looking for something to do this Sept? We are thrilled yoga festivals are back and can’t wait to check out all the amazing events taking place around the world. This week we had a chance to connect with Bella Silberfein, the producer of Bhakti Fest taking place in Joshua Tree, CA who we are thrilled to partner with! You will be able to get complimentary copies of our magazine at this festival! 

What inspired you to create a festival?
The festival was founded in 2009 by my father, Sridhar Silberfein. The inspiration for the festival came in a meditation, the idea to create a space where people could gather in community and Bhakti to celebrate, dance, love, and dive deeper into their spiritual practice. 

What makes your festival unique?
Our festival is unique because of the feeling of devotion and love that radiates from every aspect of the festival. The drug and alcohol free environment coupled with the vast array of workshops, classes, and music creates an atmosphere and experience unlike anywhere else.

What offering/presenter or class are you most excited about for this year’s event? 
Too many to choose from! I am especially excited about the “Bhakti as an inclusive path for Social Enlightenment” panel hosted by Indy Singh. As well as all of the workshops in the Regenerative Village, which is a new space dedicated to teaching attendees about what it means to live a regenerative life.
