Experience the bliss and Connect to your inner self with the special programs at ISV this week!

                            http://iskconsiliconvalley.com/

 

Dear Friends,

Hope this meets you all well. 

Everyone knows that a happy life requires good health. Proper diet, adequate exercise, and sufficient rest are necessary to keep our bodies strong and fit. If we neglect these demands, our bodies become weakened and resistance wanes. More important, but less well known, is the inner self's need for spiritual nourishment and attention. If we ignore our spiritual health requirements, we become overwhelmed by negative material tendencies like anxiety, hatred, loneliness, prejudice, greed, boredom, envy, and anger. In order to counteract and prevent these subtle infections of the self, we should, as recommended in the Vedic scriptures, incorporate into our lives a program of self-examination and steady inner growth. The Bhagavad Gita offers a solution for this: MIND CONTROL. Though it may sound simple, it is the hardest task at hand. 

The sastras claim that there is no better way for mind control than chanting the holy names of God. Of all such authentic processes, India's timeless Vedas tell us that meditation on the Hare Krishna mantra is the most powerful. Please join us at the ISKCON of Silicon Valley (ISV) this week as we come together to hear and learn about the importance and benefits of  the mantra meditation and experience happiness and peace by chanting in the association of other devotees. 

This week (September 17 - 26) is marked as the World Holy Name Week 2013. This year 2013 marks 47 years since Srila Prabhupada founded ISKCON and literally inaugurated the worldwide Sankirtana movement by chanting in Tompkins Square Park, New York. From those humble beginnings, the movement spread and has been in instrumental in impacting the lives of thousands of people all over the world to cultivate pure love and devotion to the Supreme Lord.

THE  COMPLETE YOGA PACKAGE

Module II : "Self Manager"

Session 5 : Breaking Free of Bonds

 

You are invited to the complete yoga package which includes Yoga asanas, breathing exercises (pranayama), Vedic wisdom, and introspective meditation. 

As pure spirit souls, we are all related to the Supreme Lord as a servant, friend, parent or a lover. Our original position is to serve, however, we have come here to this material world, with the desire to become an independent enjoyer, proprietor and controller — to become an imitator and competitor of God. The living entities can either choose to serve the Lord with love and devotion and remain under the control of yogamaya or they can become rebellious and be away from the Lord under the control of mahamaya. As soon as the rebellious living entity comes in contact with the external energy (material world), he is caught up (like police catching thief) under the clutches of three modes of material nature– Mode of Goodness, Passion, and Ignorance.

 VEDIC ACADEMY : Parallel Session for Kids which includes Vedic stories, Yoga, Vedic Math, Music Lessons and much more.

THE  COMPLETE YOGA PACKAGE

Module II : "Self Manager"

Session 4 : Living a Purposeful Life

 

You are invited to the complete yoga package which includes Yoga asanas, breathing exercises (pranayama), Vedic wisdom, and introspective meditation. 

Vedas inform us that there are 8,40,000 species of life, and one gains a human form of life after uncountable lives in different species. This human form of life is special because one can understand higher truth with the help of discerning intelligence, transcend birth, disease, old age, and death, and re-awaken our essential spiritual nature. Vedic aphorism states that every living entity is blissful by nature and have an eternal connection with the Supreme Blissful, God. Forgetting this reality, when we try to seek happiness in matter, we fall into trouble and anxieties. Material objects can satisfy the senses of the body, however fundamental need of every living being is to love ant to be loved. Real happiness is a fundamental characteristic of all living, sentient beings and is far above the illusory happiness found in material sensory pleasures.

Grand Radhastami Festival at ISKCON of Silicon Valley on Thursday, September 12 from 5.30pm onwards

                            http://iskconsiliconvalley.com/

 

Dear Friends,

Hope this meets you all well. 

After the grand Janmashtami festival, we are now looking forward and eagerly making arrangements to celebrate the auspicious appearance day festival of our divine mother, Srimati Radharani also known as Radhastami. Radharani is the consort of Krishna. She appeared to Vrishabhanu Maharaj (her father) in the village of Rawal a fortnight after Krishna's appearance.

Radharani's special qualification is that She is the best devotee of Krishna. Krishna therefore loves Her the most. On Her festival day, devotees seeking Krishna's grace will especially ask Her to grant them devotion to Her beloved Lord, knowing that if they can attain Her favor, they can attain His as a natural consequence. Radhastami is the only day in the entire year when the devotees get an opportunity to take darshan of the beautiful lotus feet of Srimati Radharani. 

We extend a warm welcome to you and your family to join us for the Radhastami festival on Thursday, September 12 2013 from 5.30pm onwards.

Give the best gift to your children...You are invited to Vedic Academy's Open House event at ISV on Sunday, September 8th 2013!

                            http://iskconsiliconvalley.com/

 

Dear Friends

We are excited to announce Vedic Academy's "Open House 2013" event to be held at the ISKCON of Silicon Valley (ISV) tomorrow, September 8th from 4.30pm - 6.30pm. 

Vedic Academy is an educational initiative of  ISV that aims to provide holistic education for the whole child (mind, body and soul) to develop integrity, compassion and more importantly devotion to God. We at, Vedic Academy, believe that education culminates in character & integrity. 

Modern society has started discovering that human beings have not just physical needs, but also emotional and spiritual needs. Numerous surveys have confirmed that a child without a spiritual basis to his life easily falls prey to bad habits. A spiritually trained and guided child, on the other hand, is well equipped to counter harmful influences and confidently faces the stresses and tensions of modern life. Therefore,Vedic Academy, aims to help responsible parents in raising their children by offering systematic and scientific training in spiritual culture and wisdom.

We offer different programs for children of Silicon Valley from age groups 3- 15. One of the highlights of Vedic Academy is our "Vaikuntha Children Sunday School" which is once a week program (every Sunday evening) to train children in character building, personality development, ethical and spiritual values, Vedic culture and traditions, story-telling, devotional music and Sanskrit Shloka recitation. Thus we aim to help them become intelligent and responsible leaders of the family, the country and the world in the future. Apart from that we also offer enrichment classes such as Vedic Math, Chess, Sanskrit language arts and many more to come. 

Please come and attend our open house program this week and get to know more about our programs.

WHEN:   Sunday, September 8th 2013 4.30 - 6.30pm

WHERE: ISKCON of Silicon Valley (ISV)

                 1965 Latham Street Mountain View CA 94040

Give yourself the chance to go deeper with the classes and events at ISV this week!

                            http://iskconsiliconvalley.com/

 

Dear Friends,

Hope this meets you all well. 

The Vedic scriptures explain how the human body is rarely achieved, and although, temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service. Srimad Bhagavatam teaches that even a slight amount of devotional service can give one complete perfection. Moreover the human form of life affords one a chance to return home, back to Godhead. Therefore, every human being, must engage in devotional service to the lotus feet of Lord Vishnu. This devotional service is natural because Lord Vishnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the most beloved master and the well wisher of all other living beings. 

Give yourself the chance to connect with your deeper self and experience the divine love. We extend a warm welcome to you to join the ISV family and give us your valuable association.

THE  COMPLETE YOGA PACKAGE

Module II : "Self Manager"

Session 3 : Power of Faith

 

You are invited to the complete yoga package which includes Yoga asanas, breathing exercises (pranayama), Vedic wisdom, and introspective meditation. 

In times of pain and grief, the prayerful surrender to the will of the lord has the potential of bringing immediate and immense relief. However most people are unable to muster the faith necessary for offering such prayers. The Bhagavad Gita holds a unique position among all the world's scriptures in that it offers a solid intellectual springboard and a well defined spiritual trajectory for such a leap of faith. Such sensible and verifiable faith does not negate the process of intellectual explanation or dialogue, but it admits that the absolute truth is ultimately beyond logical grasp of our limited minds.

 VEDIC ACADEMY : Parallel Session for Kids which includes Vedic stories, Yoga, Vedic Math, Music Lessons and much more.

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.

In case you are unable to make it, you can also join us through audio conference or watch live broadcast. The details are available at www.IskconSiliconValley.com
