More than 100 adults and 50 youth attended all seven days of the course entitled "Essentials of the Gita for Children & their Parents". The course, which took place in Long Island, NY during this year's mid-winter school recess, was presented by Swami Nikhilanandji, a disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj.
The course was taught by Swami Nikhilanandji, a pracharak of JKP Barsana Dham and a disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj (www.jkp.org/jagadguru_kripaluji/index.html). It was specifically planned to happen during the mid-winter school recess so that youth could take full advantage of the hour-and-a-half-long program each evening. Two separate rooms were used, so that youth and adults could receive separate instruction according to their personal needs. Using this format, one chapter of the Gita was covered each night.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about the program was the enthusiasm of the kids to come each day. One parent remarked, "When I would return home from work, my three kids were already dressed and anxious to leave. They were the ones making sure that we got here on time."

Due to the overwhelming response for part one of the "Essentials of the Gita", which covered the first 6 chapters, part two has been organized during the school spring break, from March 27 to April 2, 2010. During part two, chapters 7 to 13 will be covered. The location of the program is the Vaishnav Community Center, 100 Lakeville Rd, New Hyde Park, NY 11040. The timings will be as follows: Saturday, March 27, 7:00-8:30 pm; Sunday, March 28, 1:00-3:00 pm; Monday-Friday, March 29-April 2, 7:00-8:30 pm. The course is offered free of charge.

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 Darshan and explained by Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj. (Picture: Sage Narad Ji who revealed the Narad Bhakti Darshan).
Topics of Narad Bhakti Sutra II -
How to balance worldly duties with the path of bhaki
Nishkamta & ananyati: the two most important conditions on the path of bhakti
The best historical example of bhakti
The definition of a Saint
The difference between worldly love and Divine love
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.
