Friday 8th May - Lord Brahma's realisations of the Absolute.

This week, we will have a discussion and reading from the 10th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam about the Brahma-vimohana-līlā, the pastime of Krishna bewildering Lord Brahmā that results in his profound realisations about the nature of the Absolute.

Through the narrative of the great Bhakti text, we will hear about the pastime of how Brahma attempts to test Krishna and question His very nature by attempting to steal away Krishna's friends and calves and then realises his mistake and offers a series of deep, philosophical and devotional prayers that we can apply in our spiritual practice and daily lives, whether a newcomer or seasoned bhakti yoga practitioner

tat te ’nukampām su-samīksamāno

bhuñjāna evātma-krtam vipākam

hrd-vāg-vapurbhir vidadhan namas te

jīveta yo mukti-pade sa dāya-bhāk

My dear Lord, one who earnestly waits for You to bestow Your causeless mercy upon him, all the while patiently suffering the reactions of his past misdeeds and offering You respectful obeisances with his heart, words and body, is surely eligible for liberation, for it has become his rightful claim.

(SB 10.14.8)

Please join us for this timeless wisdom and enlivening discussion and as usual we will have plenty of Hare Krishna Kirtans (chanting with musical instruments) and finish with a Veggie/Vegan Spiritual Feast. We look forward to seeing you there!
