Invitation to ISKCON spiritual event "THE POWER AND BENEFITS OF MANTRA MEDITATION" on Friday, 11th FEB
Gouranga Festivals
ISKCON would like to warmly invite you, your family members, friends
and colleagues to our monthly programme in Aberdeen on Friday, 11th
February , 6.15pm-8.15pm at Aberdeen Quakers Meeting House, 98,Crown
Street AB11 6HJ. The topic this time will be "THE POWER AND BENEFITS
OF MANTRA MEDITATION".
Our special guest speaker and facilitator will be direct student of
ISKCON founder Srila Prabhupada - Tribhangananda Prabhu who has been
teaching mantra meditation in UK since 1972. He can often be heard
broadcasting for www.iskconlife.org which provides daily morning
meditation, philosophical discourse and soothing lyrical Krishna
kirtan for those whose work and family commitments rule out attendance
at an ashram or temple.
Everyone knows that a happy life requires good health. Proper diet,
regular exercise, and sufficient rest are necessary to keep our bodies
strong and fit. If we neglect these, our bodies become weak and
susceptible to infection.
More important, but less well known, is the inner self's need for
spiritual nourishment. If we ignore our spiritual health requirements,
we become overwhelmed by negative tendencies like stress, anxiety,
anger and boredom. To meet our spiritual need and awaken the natural
happiness within, a genuine process of meditation is recommended.
The Vedas, ancient texts containing timeless spiritual wisdom, advise
that the best process for awakening spiritual consciousness is the
hearing and chanting of transcendental sounds or mantras. It is very
easy and sublime way of meditation. We invite everyone to come and
learn this wonderful art of mantra meditation.
As usual, there will be delicious vegetarian food at the end.
The programme is free, donations towards the rent of the venue are
welcome. (Meditation kits and literature will be available for
purchase).

Your sincerely,
