Week Ahead 30 January - 4 February

Dear Friends,

Sunday, 1 February marks the first major festival in the year — Lord Nityananda’s Appearance Anniversary. We are hosting an all-day festival. Please take advantage and spend as much time as you can at the temple. See poster for details.

Bhakti, My Choice - A New Course for Girls 

One of our 2015 goals is to encourage, interact and provide more facility for our youth. This fresh course for girls aged between 12 to 17yrs aims to broaden their spiritual experience. Learn devotional arts (playing instruments, Deity worship, presenting philosophy, book distribution, harinam and more) among friends and boost self confidence. Our aim is to help our youth be comfortable in their devotional identity and give them reasons and experiences to help them choose bhakti. 
Saturdays (starting January 31st), from 5pm to 7pm. Please contact Rukmini on 0845791080 or rukminidd@yahoo.com

Life Lessons from the Bhagavatam

Fulfilling another goal: to equip devotees through study of scripture, we invite you to join this class. This open course allows both the beginner and the old-timer entrance into the Bhagavatam by meeting the great personalities in its pages. Series One, Dhruva Lila, focuses on the lessons of hope, faith, and determination. 
Starts Thursday, January 29th from 6pm to 8pm in Srila Prabhupada's Room. Course facilitator is Rukmini Devi Dasi.

Week Ahead 22 - 26 January

Dear Friends,
 
Srila Prabhupada touched South African soil forty years ago. To commemorate this great blessing we proudly share the attached logo. Please post on your social media accounts, like and share. We may know Srila Prabhupada’s struggles to build his ISKCON and feel grateful to him. But when we all come together and discuss his activities and qualities, we can derive new respect and appreciation for His Divine Grace. With this in mind, we are pleased to announce that His Grace Suresvara Prabhu will be visiting us from Sunday, 1st February until Sunday, 8th February. 
   
His Grace Swarup Damodar shares his impression of Suresvar Prabhu: "This morning in ISKCON Juhu, Mumbai I attended the Srimad Bhagavatam class given by His Grace Suresvara Prabhu, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, who is traveling the world presenting the seminar, "Srila Prabhupada, Our Founder Acarya". I was so inspired by his presentation and felt so confident that his upcoming visit to South Africa will be vital to help us all progress in developing our relationship with Srila Prabhupada. I urge all the devotees to set things aside to make time available and attend his seminar, which is well organised and filled with attractive media presentations. Suresvara Prabhu's simple and pure charisma is very moving.”   
 
Details of Suresvara Prabhu’s talks and seminar will be advertised next week. For now, seminar dates are Saturday, 7th February and Sunday, 8th February.
