HARE KRSNA!

Dear Friends,

Hope this meets you all well. Life is a school of love. In this school, we are not just hungry, but starving for love. Just think of the difficulty involved in trying live a so-called normal life if we don't have food, water, or proper shelter. It is very difficult. If we take this reflection a step further, we realize that our real nourishment and shelter is love, because the soul is made of love. 

Ultimately, life is about spiritual expressions, which involve completeness, knowledge, and happiness. These spiritual expressions will manifest as we recognize our eternal nature. We are eternal beings, which means that we are not meant to have temporary experiences. If we think of ourselves as temporary entities, it will consequently mean that goals will also be temporary. However, since we are eternal beings, our activities are ultimately meant to be eternal. 

With great happiness in our hearts, we welcome you ISKCON of Silicon Valley (ISV) for our classes and events this week!

You are invited to a holistic approach to rejuvenate the body, mind and soul. This complete yoga package includes enlivening Yoga asanas, refreshing  breathing exercises (pranayama), introspective meditation, and Vedic wisdom.  Yoga asanas like Sun Salutation increases vitality, overall health and improve the immune system.  Pranayama eliminates stress, helps develop a sense of inner peace and calm. Meditation helps in overcoming negative emotions, facilitates a calm and peaceful mind. Discussion on Vedic philosophy  facilitates personal  discovery,  growth and advancement in our spiritual journey.

Anger is a natural response to perceived threats. The instinctive, natural way to express anger is to respond aggressively. When anger gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems at work, in personal relationships, and in the overall quality of life. This session is meant to help us understand and control anger. We can’t get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage us, nor can we change them, but we can learn to control our reactions and learn to respond to anger in a controlled, healthy way.

Last week, we discussed the importance and the greatness of Srimad Bhagavatam, the great transcendental literature also known amalam puranam, spotless Purana.

First held in 1966 at the request of Srila Prabhupada (the founder of the Hare Krishna movement), the Sunday Love Feast has evolved as an integrated celebration of Lord Krishna’s pastimes: chanting, hearing spiritual knowledge, dancing, eating and generally sharing the bliss of Lord Krsna’s presence. Since then, this weekly Sunday Love Feast festival is celebrated in all Hare Krishna temples around the world. We extend a warm and hearty welcome to you, your friends and family. Please join us at ISV for this wonderful event every Sunday.

Furthermore, to offer sumptuous prasadam to the devotees is an auspicious activity. If you would like to sponsor a Sunday Feast, to commemorate a special occasion (like birthday or wedding anniversary) or just in general, please write to us at isvconnect@gmail.com. We will offer the bhoga to the Deities and serve prasadam to all the devotees in your name. Donation amount for the Sunday Feast is $301 only.
