All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!

Everyone’s invited to come! Any help and extra association would be wonderful! We could use help setting up and taking down (Friday and Sunday) doing kirtan (all days), attending Maharaj’s program (Sunday), and preparing food for the devotees.

UC Davis is approximately 2 1/2 hours drive from Santa Cruz, but give a little extra time for finding it, parking and walking on campus.

Book Table and Booth

We will set up under the big shade trees in front of the cafeteria just like we did the last two years.

Bengali Devotional Songs Workshop (kirtan)

at the Sacred Space Dome

Friday 5-7 pm

Sunday 10-11

On Sunday can start the kirtan here before Maharaj comes, and then work our way over to the hall.

Srila Janardan Maharaj and hopefully Sarvabavana Prabhu will be speaking

in the Young Lecture Hall Room 198

Sunday from 11:30-1:00

Camping is at the KOA in West Sacramento. It’s about 10 miles up I-80 from Davis. If anyone wants to camp can they let me know? I have one spot good for about 4 tents, but if more people want to come I can get a second spot. There’s a pool and hot showers!

Get inspired with these related links:

Check out the official festival video from last year. Click on the first one, “WEF memories,” and we are in the first minute. It shows Maharaj and the devotees chanting in the Sacred Space Dome.

Read Ratan Krishna’s report of how it went in 2013 here.

Look at beautiful photos of the event in 2012 here.

Thursday Classes on Srila Gurudev’s New Book: Revealed Truth

Posted by Swarnangii Devi Dasi on Monday, August 5th, 2013 in Events | Comments (0)

Please join us for a new weekly class led by Sarvabhavana Prabhu on the recent publication of Srila Govinda Maharaj’s talks entitled Revealed Truth. The class will begin this Thursday August 15th at 7:00 pm in Soquel.

Sarvabhavana Prabhu would like everyone to read the chapter ahead of time. This week we will be reading from and discussing chapter 1. Prasadam will be served after class at 8:30 pm.

Sripad Tyagi Maharaj, who compiled the book, recently told me that much of the compilation was done here in Soquel and a large part of the content was mined from discourses that took place here also. It is such an incredible book and we really hope that you will all join us in studying this amazing scripture.

“This book has been structured according to one of Srila Gurudev’s favorite models of presentation, the Dasa-mula-tattva, Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur’s consolidation of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s siddhanta into ten fundamental principles.”

“Join the devotees beneath the tree of divine revelation and nourish your soul with its nectar.”

Thursday Evenings
in our Santa Cruz Center

7-8:30 pm

2900 N. Rodeo Gulch Rd.
Soquel, CA 95073

*Hard copies of Revealed Truth are available at the class and from Sushila Devi Dasi for a requested donation of $20. Please email her: sushila@sevaashram.com to reserve one. Copies are limited.

*Click here to view or download a pdf copy of Revealed Truth. Srila Janardan Maharaj reminded us at the Sunday Feast that Revealed Truth is available for iPads, laptops, and Kindles. Please inquire from Sushila Devi Dasi if you need some help reading it on your gadget.

Last weekend’s public program at Ponderosa Park in Sunnyvale, California was very nice. New guests came as well as many members of our local community. Vidura Krishna Prabhu organized the program for the second year in a row. Jai Ram Prabhu and Abha Devi Dasi also gave assistance as well as other devotees. Thanks to everyone who helped!

Srila Janardan Maharaj and Sripad Sarvabhavana Prabhu led beautiful kirtan and Srila Janardan Maharaj gave a lecture. The lecture has been posted online as an audio file that you can stream or download at your convenience: listen to lecture

Sarvabhavana Prabhu’s classes are now Monday and Thursday evenings

Posted by Sushila Devi Dasi on Wednesday, August 29th, 2012 in Events | Comments (0)

Dear devotees and friends,

If you come to the evening classes at the Soquel Seva Ashram please note that Sarvabhavana Prabhu’s classes will now be Monday (instead of Tuesday) and Thursday nights at 7:30 pm. Sarvabhavana Prabhu reads the books of Srila Govinda Maharaj and Srila Sridhar Maharaj such as Affectionate Guidance, Sermons of the Guardian of Devotion, etc.. Lately he has been reading the most recent book published by Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math, Sharanagati: Surrender by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur.

Vidura Krishna Prabhu’s class will be held Tuesday nights (not on Mondays). He also reads the books of our acharyas such as Sri Guru and His Grace and Search for Sri Krishna: Reality the Beautiful. Vidura’s classes are especially good for younger members of the community.

Every other night of the week Sripad B.C. Parvat Maharaj reads a chapter of Srimad Bhagavad-gita: the Hidden Treasure of the Sweet Absolute at 8pm. Bhagavad-gita is an essential scripture and it’s very wonderful and nourishing to hear a chapter every day.

Also, the morning classes are amazing. Srila Janardan Maharaj reads through Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita from cover to cover, which takes about three months. He is particularly interested in making sure that listeners catch the sequence of the story and lila. He has been reading Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita for decades and clearly has very great appreciation for the scripture.

If you have questions, please call us: (831) 462-9471. If you don’t have questions because you’ve been involved for many years, please forgive any offenses I may make in trying to present the subject of the classes for new people.
