| Wednesday, July 29th through Tuesday, August 4th, 2009 | | | | | | | | | From Srila Prabhupada:
So we have to follow the principle of religion; otherwise we are misguided. Just like a child has to be sent to school to understand, to become learned scholar. It is compulsory, not that I may send my child to school or if I like, I don't send. No. It is compulsory... This is Vedic injunction. If you want to be learned fully, especially if you want to learn the transcendental science, gurum eva abhigacchet: "One must go to a guru." Guru -- the spiritual master as well as the teacher also, guru...he must go to a guru. -- "Your Next Life-What Will It Be," Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.1.47, Dallas, July 29, 1975 | | | | | | | UPCOMING Janmastami 2009: Thursday, August 13th Mark your calendars for the biggest festival of the year, Sri Krishna Janmastami, the Appearance of Lord Sri Krishna.
