WEDNESDAY, JULY 8 - Brhad Bhagavatamrta Part I

We cordially welcome you the series of lectures on Brhad Bhagavatamrta written by Srila Sanatana Goswami, one of the prominent Acharyas in the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya. King Parksit was given just seven days to live. In those final days of his life Pariksit received instruction about the philosophy of the Bhagavat from the fully enlightened sage Sukadev. After hearing Sukadev's narration, Pariksit went to visit his mother Uttara. Uttara then asked Pariksit to quickly give her the nectarean essence of the Bhagavat philosophy that he had learned from his Guru (Sukadev), since Uttara's heart was filled with overwhelming feelings of grief and fear at the thought of her child Pariksit's imminent death. The questions of Uttara and the replies of Pariksit are the basis of this scripture. 

Time: 6.00 – 8.00pm

6:00pm: Brhad Bhagavatamrta - Part I by H.G Mukunda Datta Das

Mukunda Prabhu is an amazing personality with a rare combination of being a very pious and gentle brahmana, an excellent singer and musician, a learned scholar in scriptures and Sanskrit, a wonderful pujari expert in Deity worship, a compassionate preacher, a loyal disciple of Srila Prabhupada who is very faithful to our guru-parampara tradition - and yet, with all these virtues -  so genuinely humble! And above all, he is also a very good friend of HG Vaisesika Prabhu!

SATURDAY, JULY 11 - 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.

When: Saturday, July 11, 2015, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Where: 1965 Latham Street, Mountain View, CA 94040

SUNDAY, JULY 12 - SUNDAY FEAST

Sri Brhad Bhagavatamrta is a marvelous narration that extols the glories of the Lord and HIs devotees. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is called "The Search For the Lord's Mercy", and the second part is called "The Glory of Sri Goloka, the holy abode of Sri Krishna". There are seven chapters in the first part and seven chapters in the second part. In both parts there is a seeker who is searching for the highest understanding of the Truth, with the story detailing the progress of this seeker on the path of divine realization. In the first part the seeker is the sage Narada Muni while in the second part it is the eternally young boy, Sri Gopakumar. We join us as we continue to hear the final part of the three part series of Sri Brhad Bhagavatamrta. 

4:00pm - 5:45pm: Brhad Bhagavatamrta Part III by H.G Mukunda Datta Das
