Testimonials:

“A deep and intensive study of the meaning of Bhagavad Gita. They spent almost the whole time on one sloka [verse].” –Paul

“I’m learning a lot from this class. They don’t just repeat the scriptures but focus on opening the heart. They’ll do the reading and then share details, stories, and their own experiences. Arun shares parables and examples from science that are really interesting.

The class is very heartfelt and the association there is amazing. There’s a good feeling. Everyone is very genuine and heartfelt. It’s amazing. That’s my experience.” –Jason

All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!

By the grace of Srila Gurudeva and after a long wait we have at last been able to inaugurate a regular kids class in Soquel and San Jose. Following the success of our 2011 summer camp, the affectionate push to begin a regular kids class came by the desire of Rasangi Didi, mother of Murali Mohan Prabhu, and grandmother of Anjali and Gopal. Because of her concern and hopes for her grand kids and their friends to have a greater opportunity to hear the teachings of Srila Gurudeva and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, we are now seeing this beautiful kids program begin to bloom.

The first class was given by Srila B.P. Janardan Maharaj and the temple room was full of kids. He began by reading and discussing The Golden Volcano of Divine Love. Subsequent classes have been given by Jairam Prabhu, father of Lavanika and Nabh, and by Murali Mohan Prabhu. These classes have been going on twice a month now since October, alternating every two weeks between Soquel and San Jose.

Beginning in April, weather permitting, we are looking forward to offering the kids class every Sunday concurrent with the temple program, beginning after arotik. It will be held outside in front of Srila Gurudeva’s Pushpa Samadhi Mandir, under the trees.

Srila Gurudeva has always shown us His love and affection for all the children, and he often expressed His hopes for them to grow happily in Krishna Consciousness. We pray to offer these activities to His Lotus Feet, that He may be pleased, and that we may always remember Him and be instruments for His Divine Service.

Jaya Gurudeva!
