Weekend of Conscious Devotion

Dear Friends
Hare Krishna
We welcome His Holiness Jayadvaita Swami on Sunday, 29 May.
We have received an encouraging response for attandance to the Vows and Commitments workshop by His Grace Mahatma Das. If you are still doubtful of attending, Mahatma Prabhu shares:
"This training offers those who have taken initiation an opportunity to re-commit to their vows with greater depth and determination. For those aspiring for initiation, this seminar offers deep insight into what it takes to maintain vows throughout one's life. Those who currently don't plan to take initiation will understand why vows are important for their spiritual advancement, what vows are realistic for them, and how to follow them. And, you will get to explore your personal word of honor, level of integrity, level of personal responsibility." 
Next Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, Mahatma Prabhu will also facilitate a three-session workshop to devotees engaged in cultivation services. It is a must for book distributors, university cultivators, Nama-hatta cultivators, Bhaktivedanta College teachers, devotees serving at the temple book table, etc.
