"Those who are actually advanced in knowledge are able to appreciate the essential value of this age of Kali. Such enlightened persons worship Kali-yuga because in this fallen age all perfection of life can easily be achieved by the performance of sankirtana." (Srimad Bhagavatam 11.5.36) You're invited to attend the Harnaam Sankirtana on Fri, September 26th starting at 6:59pm @ Lytton Plaza, Palo Alto, Please come in time, nicely dressed - Prabhus with Harinam chadars and Matajis dressed in green. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26th, ECSTATIC HARINAMA "Abandon all other considerations and come for the Yuga dharma. Be happy. Smile without restraint. Sing from your heart. Wave to passersby. Dance when you feel inspired. This is the topmost yoga. Just by joining, you will feel an immediate connection with the spiritual world, with Krsna -- your best friend and well wisher -- and with all other living beings. Hari Nama Sankirtana is coming to us from Goloka. We are performing this yajna under the direction of our bona fide disciplic succession. It is not some fad or concoction. Those who participate, following the suggestion of guru and Krsna attain the highest knowledge" - H.G. Vaisesika Prabhu SATURDAY,SEPTEMBER, 27th - How to perform Deity worship- H.G. Vaisesika Prabhu.
