WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER , 3rd - Krishna Katha: Akrura's arrival in Vrndavana
Akrura's prayers from 10th Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam are in loving anticipation and expectation of the loving reciprocations with Lord Sri Krishna.

Discourse will be followed by Sandhya Arati and Prasadam

THE COMPLETE YOGA PACKAGE
You are invited to the complete yoga package which includes Yoga asanas, breathing exercises (pranayama), Vedic wisdom, and introspective meditation. We strive diligently to overcome many fears, however the necessary security measures like insurances, helmets, health checkups fail to remove from us a disconcerting sense of fear and insecurity. The Vedic texts explain that all fear originates in an unbalanced material conception of life. Beyond the stage of material activity that preoccupies our mind lies a vast, unexplored realm of spiritual tranquility.

Where: 1965 Latham Street, Mountain View, CA 94040
