THE  COMPLETE YOGA PACKAGE


Module II : "Self Manager"

Session 2 : Anger Management


 

You are invited to the complete yoga package which includes Yoga asanas, breathing exercises (pranayama), Vedic wisdom, and introspective meditation. 

Anger is a natural response to perceived threats. The instinctive, natural way to express anger is to respond aggressively. When anger gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems at work, in personal relationships, and in the overall quality of life. This session is meant to help us understand and control anger. We can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage us, nor can we change them, but we can learn to control our reactions and learn to respond to anger in a controlled, healthy way.

 VEDIC ACADEMY : Parallel Session for Kids which includes Vedic stories, Yoga, Vedic Math, Music Lessons and much more.  

For Registration and more information, visit:

Call : 408-834-0612  or 650-704-6861

Fee Information : There is no fee for the module, voluntary donations are accepted.

SEMINAR ON DAIVA VARNASRAMA DHARMA


In his lectures, conversations, and writings, Srila Prabhupada often discussed daiva-varnasrama dharma. The varnasrama institution is constructed to enable one to realize the Absolute Truth. It is not for the artificial domination of one division over another. Please join us for this special seminar on the importance of daiva-varnasrama dharma system in today's world. 

Speaker: H.H. Bhakti Raghava Swami

4.00 – 5.45pm: Special Seminar on "Daiva Varnasrama Dharma"

6.00pm: Arotik followed by Prasadam

First held in 1966 at the request of Srila Prabhupada (the founder of the Hare Krishna movement), the Sunday Love Feast has evolved as an integrated celebration of Lord Krishna's pastimes: chanting, hearing spiritual knowledge, dancing, eating and generally sharing the bliss of Lord Krsna's presence. Since then, this weekly Sunday Love Feast festival is celebrated in all Hare Krishna temples around the world. We extend a warm and hearty welcome to you, your friends and family. Please join us at ISV for this wonderful event every Sunday.

Furthermore, to offer sumptuous prasadam to the devotees is an auspicious activity. If you would like to sponsor a Sunday Feast, to commemorate a special occasion (like birthday or wedding anniversary) or just in general, please write to us at isvconnect@gmail.com. We will offer the bhoga to the Deities and serve prasadam to all the devotees in your name. Donation amount for the Sunday Feast is $301 only.

  

In case you are unable to make it, you can also join us through audio conference or watch live broadcast. The details are available at www.IskconSiliconValley.com
