Dear Friends,

Hope this meets you all well. 

A gentle reminder and a warm invitation to all of you to join us for HARINAMA SANKIRTANA - the most auspicious activity in Kali Yuga - tomorrow evening at Palo Alto, CA. Our body, mind and senses are always engaged in doing some activity or the other every moment. That's the nature of atma (spirit soul) to be active in service. The Bhakti scriptures say that the most beneficial activity in this age of darkness is to engage our body, mind and senses in Krsna Nama Sankirtana - chanting the holy names of Lord Krsna. We look forward for your association tomorrow!

This week we have:

Saturday Evening: Harinaam Sankirtan @Palo Alto CA

Sunday: Sunday Feast lecure by H.G Vaisesika Prabhu  on "Nurture Your Bhakti Garden" followed by Sandhya Arati Prasadam and Vedic Academy Sunday School Graduation Ceremony.

The Yuga dharma for this Age of Kali is "Nama Sankirtan", the congregational chanting of Lord's names. Harinaam Sankirtan, also known as Nagar Sankirtana, was inaugurated by Lord Caitanya over 500 years ago to publicy chant these names and not only benefit oneself but also give it out freely to others. This chanting of the holy names can unite people as everyone is looking for peace in today's violent world. We welcome you to join us for this wonderful event!

When: Saturday, May 31 @ 6.59pm (Please come as early as possible)
