Weekly Programs at the Seva Ashram
Bhagavad-Gita Class - Monday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday
The timeless wisdom of Srimad Bhagavad-Gita is celebrated around the world as a necessary cornerstone in the process of self-discovery. At the Seva Ashram, Bhagavad-Gita is continually studied with the help of Srila Sridhar Maharaj's unique commentary known as The Hidden Treasure of the Sweet Absolute. Therein the esoteric depths of the Gita are revealed in the light of unalloyed devotion and the path of divine love, bhakti-yoga. This class is informative and nourishing to all persons interested in the Gita, whether a lifelong student or a newly inspired seeker.
"I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-Gita. It was the first of books; it was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us." Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sundays - The Community Feast
Every Sunday evening the majority of our community members and their families convene at the Seva Ashram to participate in hari-nama-sankirtan, the congregational chanting of the holy name of the Lord. A traveling monk or distinguished member of our community lectures on the sublime devotional teachings of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and a multi-course vegetarian feast is served free to all in attendance.
Tuesdays - The Message of Srila Govinda Maharaj
Sripad Sarvabhavana Prabhu speaks weekly on the writings and teachings of Srila Govinda Maharaj, successively studying the numerous publications of compiled lectures by His Divine Grace. This class is ideal for all who are interested in understanding the unique spiritual lineage and conception maintained in the Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math - not as an abstract philosophy, but as a practicable spiritual lifestyle we can successfully incorporate in our lives. The unique mood and conception of Srila Govinda Maharaj is emphasized with practical explanation centering on understanding the the goal of life and the natural process to achieve it.
Wednesdays - Youth Night
The Seva Ashram community spans all ages and ranges of experience. The youth class is arranged by Sripad Vidhura Krishna Prabhu and attended by young adults, in order to give them a chance to share their experiences and realizations amongst peers. This class is open to all young adults interested in building a spiritually oriented youth community dedicated to the practice of bhakti-yoga and the teachings of Srila Govinda Maharaj.
