Dear Friends
Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple Women’s Forum presents
Women of Wisdom – A Spiritual Celebration
Saturday 9 August • 3pm-5pm
On this special occasion, we invite all women to gather with devotees of Krishna for a heartfelt celebration of feminine spiritual strength, guided by the teachings of bhakti-yoga and the lives of great women in our Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. Women of Wisdom is more than an event—it’s a sacred space to reconnect with yourself, uplift one another, and awaken the deep spiritual power within. Through meaningful conversation, storytelling, and guided meditation, we will celebrate sisterhood in devotion. The line-up includes:
• Sisterhood in Spiritual Communities By Gaura Bhumi Devi Dasi
• Hatha-Yoga Flow By Renisha Naidoo
• Financial Health By Radha Thakurani Dasi
• Soulful Mantra Meditation By Yadurani Dasi
• Bhakti Theatre’s Vaishnavis in the Bhagavatam By Madhurya Kadambini Dasi & Taralakshi Dasi
• Dance By Kumarie Verona’s Dance Institute
