World Time Buddy can help you figure out your time zone

This session brings rasa to life’s deepest threshold, and to the many smaller thresholds within daily life. Endings, losses, separation, ageing, and letting go. Through navarasa, participants will explore how fear and sorrow arise alongside love, devotion, courage, and wonder, each as a lived flavour with its own intelligence. Drawing from the Śaiva Tantric vision, the session reflects on how emotions can be held without denial or collapse, and gradually refined into insight. The movement of rasa toward śānta becomes a way to understand transcendence not as escape, but as steadiness and clarity within change. The session invites participants to see how living with rasa each day can prepare the mind for transition with depth, dignity, and peace.
