Monthly Community Acupuncture Hosted by St. Teresa Acupuncture Wellness Clinic.
S
t. Teresa Acupuncture Wellness Clinic hosts a Community Acupuncture Event at Centerpoint 1920 Hollister every 1st
Wednesday and 3rd Thursday of the month, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. At the event, acupuncture is administered to a group of people at the same time. The participants experience healing in a shared space, among people with similar concerns. The group’s energy and support is very beneficial to effect healing. What about privacy? Patients sit in chairs during the treat- ment and acupuncture needles are inserted in points on the head, neck, ears, or limbs. Nothing else need be exposed.
Community Acupuncture can be used to address acute and chronic stress, pain, emotional imbalances, energy and immune system support, addiction recovery, and other health concerns efficiently and effectively. The effects of acupuncture are cumulative. The more treatments you get, the more benefits and more effective the results.
No appointment is necessary. Just walk in at any time between the designated hours, sign in, and take a seat. Treatment generally takes 30 minutes. There is no limit to participation. Come back for treatment whenever you need, as often as you want. Donation only! For questions about community acupuncture or to schedule private appoint- ments, please call 713-922-3474, or email
stteresaclinic@att.net. For more informa- tion, please visit their website

Madhurya Bhakti (Bridal Mysticism) – The Yoga of Love
M
adhurya bhakti or bridal mysticism is the highest form of bhakti yoga. It is
unmotivated, uninterrupted loving devo- tional service to the divine Lord, where the devotee regards the Lord as his divine lover. The intense love in this form of devo- tion is selfless and epitomizes the soul’s
yearning for union with god. In the Vaishnava tradition, several prominent poets and saints composed devo- tional songs emphasizing the ardent love and devotion between the devotee, Radha and her Lord Krishna. Pallavi Kumar, a critically acclaimed soloist in the Indian clas- sical Bharathanatyam and Kuchipudi tradition, will portray this madhurya rasa. Pallavi Kumar began dancing at age 3. She graduated with a Masters in Performing Arts with specialization in Kuchipudi dance from Central University, Hyderabad, India. Then she groomed her talent in the dance styles of Bharathanatyam and Kuchipudi. Visit her at
www.pallavikumar.org. Hanumat Presaka Swami, who holds a position as Professor or Oriental and Clas-
sical Literature in Lima, Peru, will compare these concepts with the Christian and Greek traditions, as well give more detailed explanations of Srila Rupa Goswami’s profound advice on how to ultimately attain this divine love.
