THE SUN BEHIND THE SUN
A Post by Michael McCann (Spandan)
“As the One Sun illumines the whole world, so does the in-dweller illumine the whole body-mind field”
Bhagavad Gita
In the language of symbols, the sun is the universal symbol of spiritual light. In some Indian teachings, there is reference to “the sun behind the sun”. This is an immeasurably greater sun, concealed in dazzling darkness, “behind the sun”.

Lighting the Inner Bealtaine Fire
by Guest Author Michael McCann (Spandan)….
…. a long-time regular visitor to the ashram and resident in Ireland.
May, the month of Bealtaine, surely the loveliest of the year, with all its promise and budding beauty. Bealtaine, an ancient Celtic fertility festival, traditionally celebrated in Ireland from the most ancient times, and held on the first of May, half-way between the Spring equinox and the Summer Solstice. This is known as a ‘sandhya’, a liminal, in-between time, auspicious for Yoga practice.
