Align Yourself with a Powerful Vision at the ISKCON of Silicon Valley!

                            http://iskconsiliconvalley.com/

 

Dear Friends,

Hope this meets you all well. 

It is an open secret that those who have a vision and live it attain something wonderful, whereas those who do not have a vision, or who have lost it, encounter only obstacles or, at best, live an ordinary life. It is so important to identify an inspiring vision and then keep it before one's eyes. Also, someone who acts with a vision attracts an enormous amount of help and support. He/She will find that people rush forward to support a person who has a vision and keep it in front of their eyes.

Here at the ISKCON of Silicon Valley (ISV), one can get the powerful vision through the eyes of the scriptures. Many lives have been transformed by the powerful association at ISV. The events and discourses are very meaningful and one can go deeper into his/her life just by mere attendance. 

Its with great pleasure, we extend a warm welcome to you and your family to join us for the classes and events at ISV this week!

CLASSES AT ISV THIS WEEK

WORSHIPING THE LORD IN ANY OCCUPATION

Krsna is not advising Arjuna to simply remember Him and give up his occupation. No. Lord Krsna never suggests anything impractical. In this material word, in order to maintain the body, one has to work. Lord Krsna therefore tells Arjuna that he need not give up his occupation, but while he is engaged in his, he should remember Krsna. But how? Join us for a wonderful discourse on the Bhagavad Gita entitled, "Worshiping the Lord in any occupation".

Speaker: H.G. Akruranatha Dasa

Venue: ISKCON of Silicon Valley

1965 Latham Street Mountain View CA 94040

Time: 6.00 – 8.00pm

Discourse will be followed by Arotik and Prasadam

SUNDAY LOVE FEAST - SPECIAL DUSSERA CELEBRATIONS

"KILLING THE RAVANA WITHIN"

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna tells us that the senses, mind and the intelligence are the sitting places of this lust. Through them the lust covers the real knowledge of the living entitya and bewilders him. Cure is also given by Lord Krishna in the Gita by saying, "In the very beginning curb this greatest symbol of sin (lust) by regulating the senses, and slay this destroyer of knowledge and self-realization.". Join us this Sunday as we hear and understand this very important verse in the Bhagavad Gita through a parallel story from the Ramayana where the Supreme Lord Ramachandra, showed how this all devouring sinful enemy of can be conquered through the example of lust personified Ravana. 

Also, on the auspicious occasion of Dusshera (Vijaya Dashami) ISV drama team would like to present a puppet show depicting the wonderful pastime of Ravana's killing at the hands of Lord Ramachandra. Puppet shows not only allow us to relish Lord's divine pastimes in an unique way but are also entertaining for children and adults alike. Hope you all will be able to join us on this festive occasion

Speaker: H.G. Srivas Pandit Das

4.00 – 5.30 pm: Discourse on "Killing the Ravana Within"

5.30 - 6.00 pm: Special Puppet Show on "The Yuddhakanda" of Ramayana.
