    • Children and the Holy Name - Aruddha Devi Dasi on Homeschooling

       

      Recently I was asked to speak on the theme of "Children and the Holy Name." I was excited about the topic; after all, isn't this the essence of our children's education? Krishna and the holy name are non-different and in the age of Kali He incarnates as the holy name to make it easier for us to approach Him. The scriptures say that Kali-yuga is full of quarrel, hypocrisy, anxiety and temptation, and thus it is difficult to approach the Lord through the processes of meditation, temple worship, sacrifice, etc.-methods that were easier in the previous ages.

    • Radhadesh Summer Camp 2010 (for youngsters from 14 to 21 years): July 1 - July 31, 2010.

      Based on the request of many devotees, in July of 2010, Bhaktivedanta College will offer a summer camp for young devotees aged 14 to 21. Experienced guides will help the youth become accustomed to life in the spiritual community of Radhadesh and teach them music, art, spiritual aspects of life, and lots of recreational activities.

      There will be plenty of cultural exchanges and lots of learning of new skills. Most camps offer fun, friendship, and memories, but what makes the Radhadesh Summer Camp unique is our commitment to offer children a pure devotional atmosphere, filled with opportunities to perform devotional activities. Participants will explore many aspects of spiritual life and learn how to integrate these into everyday life.

They are a verse by verse study of Srila Prabhupada's Srimad Bhagavatam taught by Bhurijan Prabhu Narayani Mataji. The presentations also includes the commentaries of our previous acaryas.
      Over the years our staff has worked hard to organize and record these classes. We would like to offer you this wonderful chance to enliven your devotional life by listening to these recordings and sharing your inspiration with others.
