Dear Friends,

Hope this meets you all well. 

After the grand Janmashtami festival, we are now looking forward and eagerly making arrangements to celebrate the auspicious appearance day festival of our divine mother, Srimati Radharani also known as Radhastami. Radharani is the consort of Krishna. She appeared to Vrishabhanu Maharaj (her father) in the village of Rawal a fortnight after Krishna's appearance.

Radharani's special qualification is that She is the best devotee of Krishna. Krishna therefore loves Her the most. On Her festival day, devotees seeking Krishna's grace will especially ask Her to grant them devotion to Her beloved Lord, knowing that if they can attain Her favor, they can attain His as a natural consequence. Radhastami is the only day in the entire year when the devotees get an opportunity to take darshan of the beautiful lotus feet of Srimati Radharani. 

We extend a warm welcome to you and your family to join us for the Radhastami festival on Thursday, September 12 2013 and also for the inspiring and thought provoking discourses at ISV this week!

THE  COMPLETE YOGA PACKAGE

Module II : "Self Manager"

Session 4 : Living a Purposeful Life

 

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

Vedas inform us that there are 8,40,000 species of life, and one gains a human form of life after uncountable lives in different species. This human form of life is special because one can understand higher truth with the help of discerning intelligence, transcend birth, disease, old age, and death, and re-awaken our essential spiritual nature. Vedic aphorism states that every living entity is blissful by nature and have an eternal connection with the Supreme Blissful, God. Forgetting this reality, when we try to seek happiness in matter, we fall into trouble and anxieties. Material objects can satisfy the senses of the body, however fundamental need of every living being is to love ant to be loved. Real happiness is a fundamental characteristic of all living, sentient beings and is far above the illusory happiness found in material sensory pleasures.

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