Dear Friends,
Hare Krishna. This week we celebrate one of the most beloved incarnations of Krishna, Lord Sri Ramacandra. Lord Rama is best known for His flawless character…in an age where people are cheated at every turn, He gives hope and sets the standard for real leadership. As Krishna says that the world pursues the exemplary standard of a great man, and there is none greater than the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
We warmly invite you to spend the weekend with us discussing and celebrating the great hero, Lord Rama. To help you get into the mood you can download or view the March/April 2013 Hare Krishna News now available on our website www.iskcondurban.net. There are interesting articles discussing Lord Ramacandra and His devotees.
We are also happy to announce that His Grace Mahatma Das, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, is still with us and will be giving talks over the next week, most notably, the seminar over the weekend. This seminar will help you grow emotionally and spiritually. Lord Rama is the embodiment of compassion and forgiveness is the result. In the seminar, Rama’s Art of Forgiveness, you can look forward to opening your heart and soul. For details look at the week ahead schedule.
