Description : Living in a war torn world is quiet a common experience these days and yet all we yearn for is peace. Some wars are obvious and visible to our eyes as news is splashed with details. There are several other wars that we wage that go quietly un-noticed. What are these other wars and how do they shape the future of the planet or nations. How do we grab the prized ‘peace’ and establish it in our lives.

Join in for an interactive discussion and explore the world of ‘war and peace’. Discussion will be followed by a group meditation and delicious vegan feast for all participants.

After 50 min we’ll sink into deep relaxation and cap it all with some kirtan. The most sacred jewel of yoga practice. Kirtan is easy. Its a mix of music and meditation to cultivate inner strength and clarity of mind. There is a basic Sanskrit mantra the leader calls and the rest respond.

Description: 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.

Bhagavad-gita is literally translated to the ‘Song of the most opulent one’. It is the essence of Vedic knowledge and one of the most important Upanishads in Vedic literature. 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, the most opulent one and Arjuna,his dear friend. Through this conversation Krishna imparts the most exquisite and detailed knowledge about the nature of Karma, Time, Material world, Reincarnation, soul and the supreme being.

Join us for the reading club where we will help you read through the entire Bhagvad Gita. For this course we will be using ‘Bhagvad Gita As it is’ by A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
