Evening meeting for a talk by Kirit at the Ananda Marga Porto Alegre center
July 5 in the afternoon we Kirit gave a talk at Shiva Ashram; the subject was Sada Shiva, a great personality which due to his fundamental contributions to humanity can be regarded as Father of human civilization.
In the event there was a presentation of songs on Shiva, most of them Prabhat Samgiita songs, which took place at the Shiva Space.
Special thanks to Maurinho, our host at Shiva Ashram and at Shiva Space Shiva, to Shirlei for her help in the transportation, and to Marcos Guimarães, for helping with the sound equipment and taking pictures.
PRESENTATION AT SHIVA SPACE
A good number of around 40 people gathered to attend Kirit’s presentation of various songs on Shiva, most of them Prabhat Samgiita songs. The public was very attentive and enjoyed the recital. In between the songs Kirit gave relevant commentaries and information about those and their meaning. In the end people expresses their interest by asking various questions, which received good clarifications by Kirit.
TALK AT SHIVA ASHRAM
A small but interested group went all the way to Shiva Ashram, located in the hills between Petrópolis and Teresópolis, to be able to accompany Kirit in his visit to the place and especially to listen to his talk on Shiva.
For more than one hour Kirit shared with those present a great deal of information about this personality whose name is very famous, but whose history is not well known with clarity and is much mixed to all the myths created around him. Kirit highlighted the historical context in which Sada Shiva was born and lived; traits of his personality and conduct; and the breadth of his fundamental contribution to the formation and development of human civilization up to the present days. Kirit answered various questions and left everybody satisfied.
Concert at the Alma Latina Dance Studio, in Curitiba.

Local programs are in-person events conducted in Brazil by our local instructors. Besides these programs, there are also study groups and informal meetings.
The Prabhat Samgiita For All movement, under guidance and with the lead of instructor Kirit Dave, has been doing great effort towards the training of local instructors of Prabhat Samgiita and of the science of meditation. The goal is to promote the spread of this knowledge in a progressively more autonomous and local form, taking the knowledge to all corners of Brazil and, in the future, also to other countries.
As part of this diffusion effort we have the execution of various programs conducted by the local instructors of the movement – programs such as mini-retreats, workshops, concerts and recitals. In these programs one has the opportunity to learn and practice the knowledge made available by the instructors; to share knowledge and experiences between attendees; and to have a conducive environment for the practice of leadership and conduction of activities.
See below the list of local programs already carried out in Brazil, starting from the most recent.
