Glimpses of a Recent Hindu Family Camp in Dallas

Family camp by a Kripaluji Maharaj pracharak

Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat (JKP) Dallas Center recently organized two 7-day long camps for children and their parents in Irving and Plano areas. Both the camps had overwhelming response from adults and kids.

These camps were presented by Swami Nikhilanand, a pracharak and disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and main focus of the camp was to impart to the Hindu kids growing in North America salient information about Hindu religion and culture aimed at developing the spiritual side of their personality which is often ignored in the hustle bustle of today's environment. Each day Swami Nikhilanandji taught a unique topic about Hinduism in concurrent sessions to adults and children. These camps provided a classroom format learning experience with lots of GAMES, role-plays, score-cards and tons of cool prizes to win, absolutely FREE.

The topics for the camp were:
Day 1: Dharm aur Karm yog - Introduction to Gita
Day 2: Atm bodh - Understanding the true self.
Day 3: Paap ka beej - Why do we do wrong things?
Day 4: Avtar Rahasya - Secret of Krishn's descension
Day 5: Sadguru - How to recognize a true Saint?
Day 6: Roop Dhyan - Meditation and control of the mind.

Day 7: Kamna aur Prem - What to ask for from God?

Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj

Bhagvad-gita is also known as Gitopanishad. It is the essence of Vedic knowledge and one of the most important Upnishads available in kaliyug. Although there are many commentaries in various languages on the Bhagvad-gita but there remains a quest to always learn more.

During the spring, summer and winter breaks this year, devotees of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj at the JKP Dallas Center organized three 7-day long camps for children and their parents in Irving, Plano and Dallas. All the camps had overwhelming response from adults and kids.

These camps were presented by Swami Nikhilanand, a pracharak of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj who lives at JKP Barsana Dham, founded by Shree Swami Prakashanand Saraswati, and main focus of the camps were to impart to the Hindu kids growing in North America salient information about Hindu religion and culture aimed at developing the spiritual side of their personality which is often ignored in the hustle bustle of today's environment. Each day Swami Nikhilanand taught a unique topic about Hinduism in concurrent sessions to adults and children. These camps provided a classroom format learning experience with lots of GAMES, role-plays, score-cards and tons of cool prizes to win, absolutely FREE.

Last week, Swami Nikhilanand, a pracharak of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, presented yet another such camp based on the teachings of the Gita in Flower Mound from Dec 13th to Dec 19th.

Narad Bhakti Sutra (Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj)Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj teaches that bhakti is eternal. It is the eternally existing path to attain God. God is one, so the path of His attainment is also one, and thus, the same path of bhakti ensures the attainment of any of the forms of God. The path of bhakti is prevalent in every brahmand of this entire universe and it is for all the souls of this universe. It remains the same in all the four yugas (satyug, treta, dwapar and kaliyug) and, as it is directly related to soul and God, it is above caste, creed, sect and nationality. It can be adopted by any person of any nation of this world, because it is gifted by the supreme God Himself for the benefit of the humankind; and again, there are no physical requirements in doing bhakti. There are no meditation postures to adopt, no concentration techniques to follow and no rituals to observe. So it can be done by anyone, young, old or sick, and at any time in twenty-four hours, because bhakti is the pure love of your heart that longs to meet the Divine beloved of your soul in this very lifetime. The philosophy of bhakti is described in Narad Bhakti Sutra and explained by Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj. (Picture: Sage Narad Ji who revealed the Narad Bhakti Sutra).

In this 7 day lecture series we will learn-

  • What is true bhakti?
  • Who can attain true bhakti?
  • What is the goal of bhakti?
  • What knowledge do you need to follow the path of bhakti?
  • How should one balance their worldly duties with the path of bhakti
  • What is the best historical example of bhakti?
The discourse is in English followed by beautiful Kirtan composed by Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj and led by Swami Nikhilanand of Barsana Dham Ashram, founded by Shree Swami Prakashanand Saraswati. Prasad/dinner will be served on all days.
