Please join us and get inspired! Time: 6.00 – 8.00pm 6:00pm: Bhagavad Gita Discourse by H.G Vaisesika Das 8.00pm: Arati followed by Prasadam | | SATURDAY, AUGUST 15 - Srimad Bhagavatam | | | | We live in a world of modernity that guarantees us freedom – at least in the Western world. We see it, and study it, and defend it, whether we’re looking to salvage and savour it through our right to the freedom of expression, of assembly, of mobility, etc. We might say we have freedom here. Including the freedom to be happy, and to work to achieve that happiness in whatever ways material nature makes obvious to us. However, we are not guaranteed the actual achievement of happiness through these processes; we are only guaranteed the work and endeavour that we are told over and over again are our means towards pleasure. The real question one should ask is, “How and where can I find and achieve real, lasting happiness? WHERE IS IT?!” Join us this Saturday morning for the Srimad Bhagavatam class. 7.30am: Brahma Samita followed by Discourse on Srimad Bhagavatam by H.G Navina Nirada Das on the topic: "The Happiness of Pursuit - The Secret of Knowing How and Where to Look" | | SATURDAY, AUGUST 15 - 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, Aug 15, 2015, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm Where: 1965 Latham Street, Mountain View, CA 94040 VEDIC ACADEMY KRISHNA CLASSES : Parallel Session for Kids which includes Vedic stories, Yoga, Vedic Math, Music Lessons and much more.
