 Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura (1838-1914) was a pioneering spiritual leader, a magistrate working in colonial India under British rule, a prolific preacher, writer, and poet. One of his sons was Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, a highly influential spiritual leader in his own right, and the spiritual master of the founder of the Hare Krishna movement, Srila Prabhupada. Just by remembering the glorious life and work of Srila Bhaktivinoda, we advance in the practice of devotional service.We extend a warm welcome to you and your family to join us for Bhaktivinod Thakur Appearance Day Festival @ ISV this Wednesday!

At ISV we have the wonderful opportunity to serve the Srimad-Bhagavatam by giving it to your friends, family members, and co-workers.

 The inquisitive human mind naturally yearns to understand the universe and man's place within it. Today scientists rely on powerful telescopes and sophisticated computers to formulate cosmological theories. In former times, people got their information from traditional books of wisdom. Followers of the Vedic culture, for example, learned about the cosmos from scriptures like the Srimad-Bhagavatam, or Bhagavata Purana. But the Bhagavatam's descriptions of the universe often baffle modern students of Vedic literature. Hence, Bhaktivedanta Institute scientist Sadaputa Dasa (Dr. Richard Thompson) suggests a framework for understanding the Bhagavatam's descriptions that squares with our experience and modern discoveries in his book entitled 'Mysteries of the Sacred Universe'. In this session, we will uncover some of these mysteries!
Please join us for this Special Seminar on "Vedic Cosmology in Srimad Bhagavatam" by H.G. Govinda Caran Prabhu!
Below is the detailed schedule:-

"As Arjuna set aside his bow and arrows, let us set aside any sense of confidence in our own abilities so that we may hear Krsna's words with full heart and attention.This kind of submissive hearing is the primary requirement for advancement in spiritual life. The devotee who hears Krsna's words with a submissive heart immediately feels an ingress of causeless knowledge and detachment." – H. G. Vaisesika Prabhu CHAD is a worldwide alliance of devotees who chant at least one chapter of Bhagavad-gita As It Is every day. Please recite Chapter 3 (verses 1 – 21) of Bhagavad Gita every day along with one purport from 27 Aug 2019 to 23 Sep 2019
