"This Srimad Bhagavatam is a literary incarnation of God, and it is compiled by Srila Vyasadeva, the incarnation of God. It is meant for the ultimate good of all people, and it is all successful, all blissful and all perfect." (Suta Goswami SB3.40). Srila Prabhupada states,"Srimad Bhagavatam carries with it all transcendental blessings of Lord Sri Krsna that we can expect from his personal contact". We are pleased to invite you for this week's Srimad Bhagavatam discourse.

SATURDAY, MAY 14 - 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, May 14, 2016, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Where: 1965 Latham Street, Mountain View, CA 94040
