| | | | HARE KRSNA! | | | Dear Friends, Hope this meets you all well. When we love someone, the desire to communicate, to exchange gifts, or to spend time together may be very intense. We usually experience feelings of separation if our beloved is not available, if we cannot see or hear from them. When we allow ourselves to fall back in love with the Lord, this experience of loving and being loved is intensified exponentially. As we make prayers to the Lord, as we respectfully and lovingly address those special helpers who have an intimate relationship with the Supreme Lord, we enter into the culture of pure devotion. By falling back in love with Krsna, we gradually become candidates qualified to enter the realm of pure love. With great happiness in our hearts, we welcome you ISKCON of Silicon Valley (ISV) for our classes and events this week! | | | TUESDAY, APRIL 8th - SRI RAMA NAVAMI |  | | RAMA NAVAMI 2014 CELEBRATIONS We welcome you, your family and friends to the auspicious Sri Rama Navami festival at ISV tonight.

Lord Krsna carries Arjuna to a total different level of understanding than what he did before. Join us for an enlivening discuss on this chapter. Speaker: H.G. Ramananda Sakha Das Time: 6.00 – 8.00pm Discourse will be followed by Sandhya Arati and Prasadam | | | SATURDAY, April 12 - Srimad Bhagavatam BHAGAVAT SEVA - PRECEPTS & EXAMPLES The great literature, Srimad Bhagavatam is a wonderful compilation by Srila Vyasadeva which not only extols the glories of the Supreme Lord but also of His devotees. It is rare to find a classic which portrays the highest loving exchanges, adventure, humor, biography, autobiography and hostory of great legends, all in one. This Saturday, our speaker will take us through a brief journey through some of the pastimes of such legendary devotees and their teachings from Srimad Bhagavatam Speaker: H.G Hariguru Das 7.30 – 10.00am: Brahma Samhita Recitation & Discourse on "Bhagavat Seva - Precepts & Examples" 10.00 am: Guru Puja and Prasadam | | | APRIL 12 - The Complete Yoga Package |  | | MODULE II: SELF MANAGER SESSION 3: POWER OF FAITH 6.00 pm - 8.00 pm You are invited to a holistic approach to rejuvenate the body, mind and soul. This complete yoga package includes enlivening Yoga asanas, refreshing breathing exercises (pranayama), introspective meditation, and Vedic wisdom. Yoga asanas like Sun Salutation increases vitality, overall health and improve the immune system. Pranayama eliminates stress, helps develop a sense of inner peace and calm. Meditation helps in overcoming negative emotions, facilitates a calm and peaceful mind. Discussion on Vedic philosophy facilitates personal discovery, growth and advancement in our spiritual journey. In times of pain and grief, the prayerful surrender to the will of the lord has the potential of bringing immediate and immense relief. However most people are unable to muster the faith necessary for offering such prayers. The Bhagavad Gita holds a unique position among all the world’s scriptures in that it offers a solid intellectual springboard and a well defined spiritual trajectory for such a leap of faith. Such sensible and verifiable faith does not negate the process of intellectual explanation or dialogue, but it admits that the absolute truth is ultimately beyond logical grasp of our limited minds.
