Practising Yogiraj Gurunath's Kriya Yoga will never lead to actual enlightenment but to the…read moreassimilation of the practitioner's soul in Gurunath's own consciousness. He acknowledged himself during his retreats and YouTube videos that with repeated practice of his kriya techniques the star we imagine in the spine during the practice solidifies astrally, we merge our soul with the star and when this happens he, Yogiraj Gurunath, appears in Ajna chakra as the larger star so that we can merge into him. In this way, one's freedom and free will are completely lost, the person whose soul is assimilated in this way becomes totally dependent on him and this process is irreversible. He also induces in the practitioner of his Kriya other people's karma therefore rendering the practice completely useless for the practitioner's own spiritual development.

If you have never been to an Anglican-use Mass before, you have to check it out! It's incredibly beautiful (what the novus ordo ought to have been). Despite being a small community, they have a big impact, running events for the Diocese like Theology on Tap. There's a good sized younger crowd (20s-30s) here for that reason. The priest Father Bartus is brilliant and very tech-savvy. God is working powerfully in this parish. My husband and I are originally from Irvine, and we attend mass here when we visit home. If we ever move back, we know where we'll be going!

The interior of the temple, has been created with loving energy and has prayer spaces inside, that gives out a pervading feeling of peace. I also occasionally go there on Friday nights just to meditate & pray. When I attend Sunday Services, I have noticed the service "type" changes depending on which Sunday, it is of the month. The speakers come from all religions, backgrounds & faiths. This includes: American Indian, Greek Mythology, Hindu, Buddhist, Wiccan, etc. Each Sunday you learn about a new Woman "empowerment figure" which is someone we can feel proud of. The message is multi-platformed with practical messages to help improve yourself and your families lives. This includes relationship / dating discussions, holistic health, caring for the environment, and ways to help your family. It also has guided, relaxing, meditation with incense blown on you with a feather, to help release any baggage from the week ... I feel spoiled. Being there, gives a feeling of camaraderie with other women, a feeling of peace, and the dancing / music making is FUN! I really feel, I have learned something practical that I can use to improve my life after listening to the talk on Sunday. There is a vegetarian potluck buffet after the service. Everyone brings something to share, then we visit and enjoys each others company. Ava has made this a wonderful sanctuary for women.

Everything felt well organized and planned. The people taking me in took a minute to ask my name and connect. In the teen area check-in wasn't so organized- but there was a new system. The 3 "greeters" (all teens) were neither warm nor welcoming, but I was told everyone inside was quite welcoming. The teen message was reported back as one of the best ever before heard. I found the crowd to look pretty mixed and people looked like the average OC people that I encounter just about everywhere else around. The message was incredible and the guests message was equally inspirational. The thing that stood out to me was the message imprinted on me in a way that I don't feel happens other places. I didn't take notes, and yet I found myself able to recall the message well and access it through the week. While I'd heard the name Greg Laurie before, I didn't know much beyond that. I left hungry to know more about pastor Greg and his ministry, and constantly seeking out more of his messages. Parking wasn't the most fun I've ever had though. Save extra time to park.

Everyone is so kind and welcoming. With a great diversity of people from all types of backgrounds. We all accept each other even if we are different. The worship is incredible and the service times make it easy for most people. I have been to so many churches in OC but none stress discipleship like Harvest. For those who get involved, you will be looked after, cared for, challenged to grow in your faith. The focus is prayer and discipleship. Spiritual growth comes from having close relationships with others like you who want to grow. Each person helps each other through love and fellowship. One of the other great elements of Harvest is our senior pastor Greg Laurie. Every week, we get the best messages. It is a blessing to be a part of this church.

We've been looking for a church to attend for some time and went there for the first time today. I…read moreread the good reviews which is why we picked this church. One of the reasons for choosing this church was I was told that it has many people my daughter's age (9th Grade) and I wanted her to make some Christian friends. We were told that my daughter has to go to a separate service for high school kids (which sounded promising). The pastor for the main service seemed great and the sermon (about how God gives gifts to everyone especially those working at the church) was inspiring. What let us down, however, was how my daughter was received. After the main service, the main hall was packed to the full with people looking for friends and wanting to get food etc. The welcome team wanted the adults of my family to go meet the pastor but we wanted to see what was going on with my daughter first. The welcome team said there was no need as she is with the high school group. We ran into my daughter who was by herself with no one guiding her or showing her any sign of welcome. I tried to find the leader of the high school service but was told he was busy and that I should email him if I wanted to talk to him. We decided to just leave. Hope we find a church that is less busy and more welcoming soon.
