Janmastami Dasa — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:00:00 +0530

In 1966 Srila Prabhupada told his followers, "Always remember that this Krsna consciousness is a sort of declaration of war with this illusory material nature. So there is war. She will always try to get you to fall down. It is very strong, powerful. How you can save yourself?" This is an issue we all need to resolve, and here's an approach you may find helpful.

Living a Life of Total Forgiveness

Gopaladeva Dasa — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:00:00 +0530

We have an exciting new course offering for early January 2011 - Living a Life of Total Forgiveness, presented by Mahatma Dasa.

When we keep a record of the wrongs that have been done to us, we often don’t realize how much we are hurting ourselves. Resentment harms relationships, hampers enthusiasm to serve Krsna and keeps us in a victim mentality. It can even hurt our health. In short, it’s just not good for us.

Living a Life of Total Forgiveness is a hands-on workshop that takes you through processes based on Vaisnava teachings that enable you to completely forgive. And you can use these processes for the rest of your life.

In the beginning of my devotional career, I did not have much devotee sanga, but for over nine years I read Prabhupada's books on my own -- first as a student and then while working. Like most new devotees, the challenges the material energy would thrust into my life were often overwhelming. I had major breakthroughs in facing these challenges, however, in coming to Mayapur. . . ..

Now the Mayapur Institute is offering a new course on learning Bengali to assist devotees in making this a reality. The course will run for 3 months, every Monday Wednesday and Friday evenings from 5-6pm.

Living a Life of Total Forgiveness - making peace with your karma

Mahatma Dasa — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 11:00:00 +0530

A Life of Forgiveness is a process of self discovery in relation to your own issues with resentment. You experience the forgiveness process primarily through interactive exercises and discussion, rather than through lectures. Although the subject is serious, the course is fun and enjoyable - and most importantly, effective. The course is based on vaisnava principles, although my preparation for the workshop also included the study other religious traditions and both secular and Vedic psychology.
