Description: Join us this Friday for an evening with Gopal Krishna Swami. He will unveil secrets of the Bhagavad Gita – ancient yoga text and share his realisations from over 40 years of spiritual experiences and travels to every continent of the globe. He guides and inspires students in several countries and continents like Russia, America, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, etc.

A book of the Hindus or a mystery of the east, several myths surround this ancient text. Great mystics, thinkers and philosophers ranging from Gandhi to Emerson have derived great inspiration from it.

This book is a guided tour that helps you find answers to questions like : Is Karma the universal teacher, why do bad things happen to good people, the nature of consciousness, finding happiness in daily grind, does the world have a purpose and what is the art of love and relationships.

It talks of a highly advanced civilization that spread across the entire globe and of warriors who showed both prowess and wisdom. This ancient text was spoken in the middle of a battle field and at the heart of this text lies a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna through which Krishna imparts the most exquisite and detailed knowledge about the nature of Karma, Time, Material world, Reincarnation, soul and the supreme being…that’s the conversation we will explore every Friday evening accompanied with meditation, dinner and fun conversations.

For this course we will be using ‘Bhagvad Gita As it is’ by A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

If not, what’s our plan to get there ?

After 60 min we’ll sink into deep relaxation and cap it all with some meditative kirtan. Kirtan is a powerful Sonic Yoga experience, a jewel of the ancient yoga system. Kirtan is a mix of music and meditation to cultivate inner strength and clarity of mind. Sometimes it is soft and meditative and sometimes it can get a little mild, all to make you feel good!

Top it all with a delicious Vegan dinner and a delicious desert.

Don’t be surprised to see some of the staff dressed in the traditional dhoti and sari garments of ancient India. The Krishnafest experience is pretty cool. Feel free to ask any question. You may be surprised to get profoundly satisfying answers to questions you never thought answerable. Or, if you are just curious, that’s okay too.

The Krishna literature teaches that we are not our external material body; nor are we the endlessly restless mind. Instead, we are a spiritual being of pure consciousness. The nature of pure consciousness is to be continuously happy. However, our consciousness is currently masked by the mind and body. Just like dust covering a mirror. All activities at Krishnafest help to gradually wipe the dust off the mirror and reveal the true happiness that lies beneath. Try it, see for yourself and taste the bliss.

Kirtan Yoga, is a simple yet powerful technique that uses the energy of ancient sound vibrations to tap into the supremely attractive source of all happiness. It will be a guided meditation exercise, you will get take-away sheets with ‘Mantras’ or meditative chants that you can use through the evening. Learn how to use meditation beads and ancients compilations of mantras that we have available for you to explore.

Embrace this coming week and the conflicts that it presents with a different mood – maybe a happier more peaceful you can bring a change to the world around you.
