Special Weekend Lectures
We cordially invite you to our special weekend lectures at ISV based on the timeless wisdom of Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam which touches upon all fields of human knowledge. These Vedic texts give us a clear understanding of all the fundamental and essential truths of life and helps reconnect to our origin.
DATE : Saturday, January 19
TIME : 7.30 – 10.00 am Brahma Samhita recitation & Srimad Bhagavatam Discourse (followed by Guru Puja & Prasadam)
TOPIC : Sweet Surrender
"To surrender is generally considered to be painful because it signifies an acceptance of defeat. How is it that, then, the great saints on the path of bhakti relish joy by surrendering? Join us in this session to discover the sweet spirit of surrendering."

TOPIC : Art of Working
"Finding it hard to attend a 1-hour yoga class in the morning or evening amidst a 8-hour work day ? How about doing your entire 8 hours of work itself as a form of Yoga ? In the Bhagavad Gita 2.50, Lord Krishna explains such a beautiful art of working: "yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam". In this session, we'll discuss how to apply this right here in our Silicon Valley culture!"
