Fwd: Yes, We are meeting Today for Harinama Performance at Palo Alto

Dear esteemed ISV Devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Yes, We are meeting Today for Special Harinama Performance at Palo Alto which happens to be also an auspicious Day of Ekadasi.

When : 6:59 pm at Intersection of University and Emerson St

The weather is going to be great so drop all Jobs, invite others, wear good clean spiritual clothes and fill your cars, minivans with people who are willing to get Mercy from Lotus Feet of Hari nama

The below text from Sri Namastaka impressed me last week and wanted to share with you all ( specially in bold) :

süditäsrita-janärti-räsaye ramya-cid-ghana-sukha-svarüpine
näma gokula-mohotsaväya te krsna pürna-vapuse namo namaù


"O Holy Name! You destroy the many sufferings of those who take shelter of You.

You are the very form of concentrated spiritual bliss, a festival of happiness for Gokula, and the perfect and complete form of Lord Krishna. 
Again and again I bow to You. "
Text 7 from Çré Nämäñöaka "Eight Prayers Glorifying the Holy Name" by Srila Rupa Goswami

Also, from one of mails from Vaisesika Prabhu for all of you :

"
Now all over the world, people feel discontent and are gathering together to protest their uncomfortable, frustrating lives. But what will they ultimately get even if their misguided demands are fulfilled? More of the same. Alas! What a waste of energy.

On the other hand, harinama is from the spiritual world. It really does give a way for people, no matter what station in life, to not only feel happiness and satisfaction, but to rise to higher transcendental knowledge. And those who know the Bhagavad-gita also know that along with yajna comes good fortune for all. Now here's a cause that people can gather for and actually get what they are looking for!

All glories to all the ISV devotees who are coming out in force for the harinams and who chant from their hearts out of love for the holy name. My obeisances to all of you.

Public harinama must be promoted far and wide. This is kali-yuga, after all! There's no other way, no other way, no other way!

Let's use all our imagination, resources and creative powers to expand the chanting of the holy names. Now is the time to make our move.

"All glories, all glories to Lord Murari in the form of His all-ecstatic name! If any living being puts aside such tasks as meditation, ritual worship, and social duties and even once takes the Lord's holy name, the name will grant him liberation. That holy name is the greatest source of eternal pleasure and is my very life and soul." (Sanatana Goswami. Brhat Bhagavatamrita)

... there's a harinama performance this Friday night! Invite everyone in your neighborhood and bring 'em down for the yajna! Gaura Prema anande, hari bol!
"

So Please come in large numbers in time to celebrate Ekadasi in special way


Your humble servant
Damodara Vamsidhari Dasa (Deepak Chandani)


ps : tomorrow breakfast at :07:09 to 10:59 am
