Special Harinaam Sankirtana, Krishnaween Festival and more... You're Invited to ISV!

Dear Friends

 

Hope this meets you well.

 

Lord Krishna has one quality which endears him to all His devotees: He is grateful even for the slightest service. But even more grateful, even more kind and even more merciful is Srimathi Radharani. Therefore Her name is Karunamayi - She who is filled with mercy and compassion. 

During this month - the month of Kartika - the greatest amount of divine mercy is available. It's the mercy month. Thus, all of us should take full advantage. When we search our heart and find something - some devotional service - that we would like to daily offer Srimati Radharani, then we will become spiritually rewarded beyond our expectations. 

Do you know how to find out how rich you really are? Count how many things you have that money can't buy! Divine mercy is the greatest wealth. It waits for all of us in this month of Kartika. With great happiness in our hearts, we welcome you to the ISKCON of Silicon Valley to access the divine mercy of Sri Sri Radha Madanmohana and fill your life with auspiciousness.

                               SPECIAL HARINAAM SANKIRTAN FOR KARTIKA

                                            

When: Friday, October 25th @ 6.59pm (Please come as early as possible)

 

Where: Palo Alto, University Avenue

(The cross street will be either Emerson or Bryant, depending on the best facility available. So if you don't see devotees at University and Emerson, go east toward Bryant and look there!)

In one of the purports in Bhagavad Gita, Srila Prabhupada says, "As stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, the incarnation in the Age of Kali is Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who spread the worship of Krsna by the Sankirtana movement (congregational chanting of the holy names) and spread Krsna consciousness throughout India. He predicted that this culture of Sankirtana would be broadcast all over the world, from town to town and village to village. Lord Caitanya as the incarnation of Krsna, the Personality of Godhead, is described secretly but not directly in the confidential parts of the revealed scriptures, such as the Upanisads, Mahabharata, Bhagavatam, etc. The devotees of Lord Krsna are much attracted by the Sankirtana movement of Lord Caitanya. This avatara of the Lord does not kill the miscreants, but delivers them by His causeless mercy." (BG 4.8 Purport)
