We are living in the world of distractions and allurements which is dragging us here and there. How do we resist these temptations and go past them? This week our speaker will enlighten us with words of wisdom that will help us not open our door to Maya and how to close the door on Maya if she's already got her foot in the door. Join us on Wednesday night for a heart warming discussion! Speaker: H.G. Vaisesika Das Time: 6.00 – 8.00pm Discourse will be followed by Sandhya Arati and Prasadam SATURDAY, May 10 - Srimad Bhagavatam CREATION OF KUMARAS & OTHERS BY LORD BRAHMA Srimad Bhagavatam explains in details the creation of the universe and the cosmic manifestation. In  the thrif canto, it is specifically mentioned how Lord Brahma being empowered by Lor d Krsna creates the living entities in the material world. Please join us this Saturday morning for a wonderful discussion on this topic.  Speaker: H.G Gandharvika Radha Devi Dasi 7.30 – 10.00am: Brahma Samhita Recitation & Discourse on "Creation of Kumaras and Others by Lord Brahma" 10.00 am: Guru Puja and Prasadam May 10 - The Complete Yoga Package MODULE II: SELF MANAGER SESSION 6: POWER OF PRAYER 6.00 pm - 8.00 pm For centuries, thousands of sincere practitioners have accumulated definite evidence of the positive results of prayer. The serious doubt regarding prayer is not whether God can hear and respond, but whether the things people pray for are worthwhile. The real purpose of prayer is not to gain material resources or even spiritual salvation for oneself. The power of prayer comes when we call to God out of a desire to do His will. Such pure prayers are not means to the end but are themselves loving exchanges between the Lord and His pure devotees.
