Once upon a time the moon dropped down from the universe to shine its light on the ocean below. The ocean was held in a golden container in the form of a chalice. The chalice was beautiful, bright, strong and whole. The ocean reflected the light of the moon.
From the ocean beings appeared. They were full of love, sincerity and devotion to the light. But they journeyed in all directions moving away from the light. They became cold and hungry so built structures to keep themselves warm and full.
They became entangled and confused even though the light still shone all around them in the form of beautiful colours and shapes. They began to believe in the prison they had made for themselves within their entanglement and confusion.
Then one day from the light a beautiful goddess emerged shining with light and wisdom to show them the way to return to the light and freedom. She shared the gift of yoga with great love and respect restoring all beings to their wholeness and the light within to live in love, sincerity and devotion once again.
