It is meant for the ultimate good of all people, and it is all successful, all blissful and all perfect." (Suta Goswami SB3.40). Srila Prabhupada states,"Srimad Bhagavatam carries with it all transcendental blessings of Lord Sri Krsna that we can expect from his personal contact". We are pleased to invite you for this week's Srimad Bhagavatam discourse. 7.30am: Brahma Samita followed by Discourse on Srimad Bhagavatam on the topic: "Damodar Lila" by H.G Damodar Vamsidhari Das | | | SATURDAY, November 14 - 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, November 14, 2015, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Fee Information : There is no fee for the module, voluntary donations are accepted | | | SUNDAY, November 15 - Srila Prabhupada Disappearance Day - Sunday Feast |  | | | Srila Prabhupada departed from this world in Vrindavan dham, India, on the 14th of November 1977. One would not usually celebrate the disappearance day of a person, especially one so loved and revered as Srila Prabhupada. However, the departure of a pure Vaishnava gives cause for jubilation because he returns to his eternal service at Krishna's lotus feet in Goloka Vrindavan, the spiritual world. Although Srila Prabhupada is no longer physically with us, on the spiritual platform he is very much present. He is present in his deity form, in his books and through his instructions. His mercy is available to all those who seek it. Please join us to celebrate the Disappearance Day of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Srila Prabhupada Disappearance Day Schedule 4:00pm Bhajans
