&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p style="line-height: 165%" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #1e3377; line-height: 165%; font-family: arial,sans-serif"&gt;Enlightenment  has been defined differently by different traditions. One common denominator  accepted unanimously is that Enlightenment is about gaining super-consciousness  and wisdom. Attaining Enlightenment is a matter of losing one&amp;#39;s ego and mind.  You are &amp;quot;somebody&amp;quot; now, you have to become &amp;quot;nobody&amp;quot;. When you become &amp;quot;nobody&amp;quot;  you are &amp;quot;everybody&amp;quot;. This is the advantage of losing the ego which limits you.  Losing the mind involves mastering and transcending thought consciousness.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally speaking, human psychology consists of Ego (the &amp;quot;I&amp;quot;  consciousness), Maya (the sensory perceptions) and Karma (the destiny which  follows you through many births). Each of the three concepts need to be examined  at length to understand the human psychology. The purpose is to go beyond all  psychological concepts to experience thoughtless awareness which forms the  substratum on Enlightenment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dattatreya Siva Baba will introduce  classical texts like &lt;em&gt;Siva Sutra&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Yoga Vasistha&lt;/em&gt; that illustrates  the psychological approach to Enlightenment. There will be both theory and  practice. This approach uses classical yoga techniques to dissolve the ego and  the mind. When you meditate on the shushumna, the central nadi within the spinal  column, thoughts will get dissolved. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dattatreya Siva Baba will introduce  3 to 4 techniques to gain mastery over the mind. The techniques include the use  of mantras (divine sounds), yantras (sacred geometrical designs) and pooja  (sacred ritual). During this workshop, Dattatreya Siva Baba will empower the  participants to acquire higher states of consciousness through His darshan.  (Darshan is the transmission of divine energy from the Master to the student.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 165%" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #1e3377; line-height: 165%; font-family: arial,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 165%; text-align: right" align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #1e3377; line-height: 165%; font-family: arial,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#a03a3a"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEW YORK, NEW YORK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday, Dec 30th, 2007&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;and &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday, Dec 31st, 2007&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;9:30AM - 5:00PM (both  days)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 165%; text-align: right" align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #1e3377; line-height: 165%; font-family: arial,sans-serif"&gt;LOCATION:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #1e3377; line-height: 165%; font-family: arial,sans-serif"&gt;Roosevelt  Hotel &lt;br /&gt;45 East 45th Street &lt;br /&gt;(&lt;em&gt;at Madison Ave.&lt;/em&gt;) &lt;br /&gt;New York, New  York 10017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 165%; text-align: right" align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #1e3377; line-height: 165%; font-family: arial,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost  for NYC Event:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Register online: $200.00 &lt;br /&gt;At the door: $250.00 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 165%" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #1e3377; line-height: 165%; font-family: arial,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #1e3377; line-height: 165%; font-family: arial,sans-serif"&gt;Phone  Registration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #1e3377; line-height: 165%; font-family: arial,sans-serif"&gt;Pre-register  and pay by phone.
