Organized by Vedanta Society of Sacramento, 1337 Mission Ave., Sacramento 7:30 pm, 916-489-5137 www.vedantasecto.org society@vedantasecto.org How to say yes to life In everyone two voices compete. The one is life affirming; the other is life negating. One takes us into a harmonious flow with the world around us; and the other tends to encourage us to contract back into ourselves.
