"Shanti Jatra Full Moon Festival 2011" (3 Days 2 Nights : Nepal - October 11,12,13 - 2011) is back with a brand new avatar. The Shanti Jatra Organic Festival Nepal: October 2011, is all set to be a vibrant and upbeat celebration of music, food, and creativity.

Wonderful things manifest when you are in tune with the ebb and flow of life. Organics is the understanding of this finely tuned structure be it an expression of the arts, food, wine, spirituality, business or environment.

South East Asia's premier alternative electronic music festival is back!

Two years after the untimely demise of one of the founding members which led to the festival being cancelled, the crew took some time off to regroup and thought over to recreate the magic of this wonderful gathering.

The result, an interesting and fresh concept based on organic life style emerged along with supporting Visit Nepal Tourism Year 2011.

Along with the 2 stages, Main (Dance) and Chill, there will be another stage called New Age Arena where there will be Group Shamanic healers from worldwide, Workshops on Organic life style, meditation and group yoga sessions.

Organic food stalls , organic bar and display of organic food grown in Nepal will be the other key areas of this gathering.

As always we will provide an eclectic and diverse lineup for the main stage and chill wherein all the genres and sub genres converge into one. Our motto will and always will be the same, that We are one!

Our aim is to create the colourful setting with the same amazing and friendly vibes, which captivated many imaginations thoughts in our previous editions, in a new and exciting way under the breathtaking landscape of Nepal.

Come join us once again to recreate those magical moments. We welcome you back!

Full Moon Nights have been a special occasion to humanity for eons and in modern times when our material realities within concrete confines of modernism keep us occupied for most time of our lives, the raving community takes cue from the indigenous rituals of shamanic trance dance and step outside the idea of the separate self to dance in communion with the cosmic spirit ... to dance with God !

Around the world it's a known fact the law enforcement agencies and hospitals swing into high gear on Full Moon nights with a sudden spurt in incidents mushrooming all over major cities of the world. The Full Moon does affect us in a BIG way since human consciousness is made up of electric activity.


George E Lockett shares the science and spirituality surrounding the magical Full Moon !

It has been known for centuries that the full moon can affect people’s consciousness and behaviour. Many people may feel wakeful at night with energy streaming through their body for the three days before full moon.

It is only recently that I have discovered why this may be happening. NASA-supported scientists have realized that something does happen every month when the Moon passes through Earth's magnetic tail.


"Earth's magnetotail extends well beyond the orbit of the Moon and, once a month, the Moon orbits through it," says Tim Stubbs, a University of Maryland scientist working at the Goddard Space Flight Center. "This can have consequences ranging from lunar 'dust storms' to electrostatic discharges."

Anyone can tell when the Moon is inside the magnetotail. Just look: "If the Moon is full, it is inside the magnetotail," says Stubbs. "The Moon enters the magnetotail three days before it is full and takes about six days to cross and exit on the other side."

Human consciousness too is made up of electrical activity – which can be measured with an electro encephalograph – and a magnetic aura, or field of energy. A lot of people can feel this field of energy; for example, when you smile you can feel the field of buoyant, glowing energy extending into your aura like the energy field of a magnet.

I have often wondered why I am affected so much by the moon from three days before full moon to a few days after. The magnetotail provided me with the perfect explanation; as the moon charges up when within the tail and becomes much more electrical and magnetic, it is only normal that this increase in power should be felt on Earth.

We all know from astrology that each of the planets, and the sun and moon, have an influence on our feelings, emotions and consciousness. The moon affects our emotions because the moon influences water; just as the moon causes the tides, it exerts a pull on the watery components of our body, and we feel this as emotions. The body is made up of 70 to 80% of water.

Human consciousness is also affected by sun spots and the mass ejections from the sun's corona; these are what cause the solar winds of magnetic energy which affect the Earth's upper atmosphere and give rise to the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.

I feel it is beneficial if we extend our awareness to take in all these influences of the celestial bodies, as they all communicate with, and have an influence on, each other by the transfer of electrical and magnetic energy – which could also be called consciousness.



Our body has a field of energy – the aura – which is the same as the aurora or magnetic and gravitational field of the planet. We are all One, a part of the Universal Life Force; and it is natural to be aware of the greater cosmic system, which is as much a part of our consciousness as our brain is.

As human consciousness evolves and moves from the individual awareness to an awareness of greater integration within the whole cosmic system, we also expand our understanding of the unity of life and develop a love of all things, in the realization that We Are All One.

This full moon on October 14th, is in the cardinal sign of Aries which is ruled by the planet Mars. and Native Americans call this moon October - Hunter's Moon, Moon of Falling Leaves. This is a good time for us to become more compassionate of our fellow man; to come together as you would around a circle in a camp fire. Aries personalities draw attention because they have high spirits, great enthusiasm, and are honest and open. The astrological sign of Aries is a ram - consider this energy force and enthusiasm by accomplishing your goals and ram yourself to success.

Think of a full moon in Aries where there can be produced a lot of radiant, vitalizing energy that you can capitalize on for your personal growth. This is a period to take time out and reflect on your inner growth by initiating something or becoming enterprising. Aries energy means it's a good time to be creative in the sense of causing things to begin. It's all about enthusiasm and taking that energy and running with it - like a football player who is running towards his goal without anyone near him to tackle him down.

The Shanti Jatra Full Moon Festival 2008, will be in 'Full Swing' the coming Full Moon, October 14 with hundreds of people from all over the world converging in the mystical mountains of Nepal with the Mt. Everest Sunrise in sight, dancing to the hypnotic beats of Psychedelic Trance ... The Full Moon this October is also known as Sharad / Sharath Poornima and is closely associated with Krishna, Radha and the Gopis !

When i meditated on the word Guidance, i kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that and let's the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music.


One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.


My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When i saw G, i thought of "God", followed by "U" and "I". "God" "You" and "I" "Dance". God, you and i dance ! As i lowered my head, I became willing to trust that i would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead.

As i was dancing i realized that God had always been with me waiting for me to find my way to this inner divinity which resides within all creation. All that is, is what has always been and will ever be. I began to understand the transformation of energy which is indestructible, can neither be created or destroyed. As i awakened to the Cosmic Reality of Oneness i begun to "Glow" in the brilliance of experiencing Bliss. God You & I Dance but what about Larry & Sean ... You keep dancing my friend, they too shall put their dancing shoes back on !

At around 7:00pm, August 28 2008, a Florida family observed a mysterious phenomenon in the Florida sky near the central east coast city of Holy Hill, Florida.

Below is the eyewitness account by Patrick Shannon and what he and his family saw the evening of August 28th, 2008.


Statement:

I tend to notice the skies all the time, but in my 46 years, I have never seen anything like this. All clouds and haze abruptly broke off at the edges of this huge “wedge” of blue sky and were completely missing inside it. It was absolutely surreal.

My family and I were leaving a restaurant at about an hour before sunset, maybe 7:30 PM, and we just stood in the parking lot for quite a while, gazing at this and trying to understand what could possibly cause such an effect. My boys expected Dad to explain this like everything else, but this was completely unexplainable.

When I saw a post on the Web from someone else that observed this, asking for any possible explanation, I took the time to make an artist’s rendition of it, hoping to help. I was very careful not to exaggerate it, even toning it down a bit and leaving a tiny bit of cloudiness in the wedge so that it at least looked like it was a part of the same photo. In reality, though, there was nothing in it at all—just clear blue sky, darker than the sky around it. The actual sight was even more extreme than this rendition.

It was almost as if all of the clouds had been sucked down into some sort of massive funnel leaving a huge cone of empty, dark blue sky. It wasn’t moving in any way, just there, across most of the eastern sky. And it didn’t really seem round like a funnel or cone, but more like a flat 2D wedge. But there were absolutely no clouds, no haze, or no vapor of any kind in it.




Opposite this, looking west, there was a huge and beautiful cumulus formation, and the lowering sun with a few other clouds—nothing unusual. Everywhere else, north and south, it was just a normal sky, with regular mixed clouds and a few chemtrails in a calm, blue sky. But looking east toward the ocean, within this huge wedge, the color of the sky was a much deeper, clearer blue than anywhere else, with no clouds in it at all. What really stood out were the edges of it. We could even see one chemtrail that continued out from both sides of it, but was abruptly cut off and completely missing within the wedge. And there was no indication that the chemtrail or clouds were disturbed in any way outside of its edges—not smeared or anything like you might expect an updraft or something to cause. Just perfectly static clouds outside of it, right up to the edges, and then abruptly cut off and completely gone inside it, with no apparent transition at all.

The first thing that came to mind was some sort of government experiment with a kind of “cloud-buster” device or something. I’ve seen photos of small blue circles of clear sky over these devices in the midst of surrounding cloud-coverings. But this was much bigger, a similar effect, but way too big to be from such a device, even if it was from a ship or something offshore. I would say that the base of it, across the horizon, was at least a couple of miles wide. So then I wondered if maybe some sort of oil spill, spreading for miles across the ocean, could somehow cause such an effect above it, but it extended way up into the sky over our heads, with crisp edges on both sides. Like I said, this was completely unexplainable.



The Galactic Federation of Light did mention the "snow cone" to Blossom Goodchild just a few days prior to when the phenomena occurred. Everyone is waiting for October 14th, 2008 for the Global Contact to happen so the masses can come together with an unshakable belief in what has for long been masked in deception and lies by the so called elite. The knowledge that weather can be manipulated using advanced electromagnetic technology is not known to too many, however the fact remains that most of the technology in use today was discovered through reverse engineering the debris salvaged from the UFO which crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, 1947 !





Science Fiction is in fact closer to reality than most would like to agree. A time machine, anti-gravity propulsion systems, mind control technology, invisibility... we have the technology however it's not being put to good use. The issue surrounds the discovery of Free Energy and how it threatens to change the world that depends on fossil fuels if this technology was implemented. This Global Contact would mean disclosure to a long kept secret about Extra Terrestrials visiting our planet and a major world renewal we shall all be witness to in the not so distant future. The silent revolution of truth is beginning to show tell tale signs of revelation across the world.

Man has always been fascinated with the Moon and it's effects on the human consciousness. On Full Moon nights, something happens to us. With the initiation of the trance dance experience Full Moon nights turn out to be unforgettable experiences ranging across the spectrum of extreme polarities. There are some of us who take the opportunity to rejuvenate our connection with the Moon, dancing to the mystical vibe we collectively create when we come together on higher ground of collective consciousness. The beauty of our thoughts manifests as our collective experience as we individually transcend our acquired identities and commune as ONE, Cosmic Spirit ! Infinite ! We see everyone as reflections of the ONE divine source of all creation ! Everything is God ! God is Love ! Love is All !




One of the biggest Full Moon Festivals is the Full Moon Festival, Germany held each year at a picturesque location in Germany for a period of 4 days. They have a Psychedelic / Full On Stage, a Progressive-Electronic Stage, a Chill Out-Ambient Stage and this year they had a special Dark Psychedelic Stage with about 150 major Global Artists spinning foot stomping music non stop for 4 days ! Organizing a festival as big as this takes a whole lot of planning and ensuring all accounts are taken care of. You can see the details about the festival on their home page.

The Boom Festival Portugal has come really strong over the years bringing together music, art and creative innovation to all these wonderful people from all cultures of the world. The Healing Area was a novelty at Boom 2008. With therapies and holistic projects being held every day, a new concept of entertainment was being made at Boom. Going to Boom Festival should be on your things to do list !



Shanti Jatra Full Moon Festival held in Nepal each year is one of Asia's most sought out destinations for a fulfilling Psychedelic Himalayan Experience. This year would be the 2nd edition and it looks like it's going to be a gathering to remember. With a special non stop chill-out zone where they would also show movies and documentaries at night. The Organizers encourage people to come up and set up workshops on environmental awareness, spirituality (yoga/meditation)... Astral travel, Buddhism, Indian classical music, chakra massage, drugs awareness, healing ....


Nepal has an ancient heritage of Shamanic rituals on Full Moon Nights. One of Nepal's most famous religious places of pilgrimage is Gosainkunda lake situated at an altitude of about 4312 m. Surrounded by high mountains on the north and east, this lake is grand and picturesque. Every year during Janai Purnima in August, thousands of Hindu pilgrims come here for pilgrimage and it is quite a sight.


The large rock in the center of the lake is said to be the remains of a Shiva shrine and it is also claimed that channel carries water from the lake directly to the tank at the Kumbheshwar Temple in Patan, 60 km to the south. Shamans ("Dhami") come from all over Nepal arrive to the lake and on full moon night.

There is much dancing and singing. This day is considered holy by the shamans whereby apprentices or "Jhankris" graduate into full shamans. Trekking in August can be a bit wet as the monsoon is at its last stages, but the greenery is at its best and since it is not peak season, it is best for people who do not want to be part of the crowd.

There are many more Full Moon Festivals and we shall cover each of these individually, including the BoOm Festival which deserves an exclusive article to it's name !
