Seven Glorious Perfections of Yoga with Dhanurdhara Swami
April 7, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm EDT
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
‘Harinama Sankirtan’ is the yoga of musical mantra meditation. More specifically, it’s communal chanting of the names of Krishna. This specific form of mantra meditation is a simple and joyful practice that bestows seven superlative benedictions on the practitioner: purification of the heart, relief from material distress, awakening of transcendental knowledge, expansive joy, the sweet taste of spiritual emotions, and feelings of kinship with all living beings.
In this workshop, Dhanurdhara Swami will speak about each of these benedictions and offer instructions on how to experience them by entering deeply into chanting the Hare Krishna mantra.
Free Registration – Donations can be made at the door.
ABOUT DHANURDHARA SWAMI:
Dhanurdhara Swami was initiated into the Gauḍīyā Vaiṣṇava lineage by Śrīla A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda in 1974. In 1982, he accepted the sannyāsa āśrama or renounced order of life.
He is the author of three books — Waves of Devotion: A Comprehensive Study of The Nectar of Devotion, Greetings from Vrindavana, a selected collection of his thoughts and realizations from 2000–2004, and Japa Meditations: Contemplations on Entering the Holy Name, a collection of selected personal realizations on japa meditation by Mahārāja and others.
Dhanurdhara Swami spends half of the year in India where he focuses on bhajana, studying, writing and taking people on pilgrimage of holy places. The other half of the year Mahārāja is in the West where he spends his time traveling and speaking about bhakti-yoga.
