DETAILS:

Sri Vaishnava Seva Samithi (SVSS) is delighted to announce the

second telephone discourse by Sri Sri Rangapriya Swami of Sri

Ashtanga Yoga Vijnana Mandira, Bangalore. Sri Rangapriya Swami is

one of the most respected spiritual teachers of South India. He

is a master of Indian philosophical traditions, particularly the

yoga-shastra. He is renowned for his absolute purity of heart and

conduct, which he expresses through a remarkable compassion which

transcends traditional boundaries of class and creed. He is

incomparably approachable to those who come for advice and he

looks at all with an equally compassionate eye. In addition, Sri

Swami is a Sanskrit scholar who is widely sought as a speaker by

religious and academic societies.

 

Sri Swami has graciously agreed to give a talk on Saturday,

October 21, at 7:30 am PDT / 10:30 am EDT. The topic for this

discourse will be chosen by Swami and will be announced

shortly. This talk will build upon the ideas Swami spoke about in

his first discourse, entitled ``Narayana: A Universal Idea of

God''. That talk introduced the concept of an all-pervasive,

omnipotent God as expressed by the name ``Narayana'' and how it

is an idea of universal value and applicability.

 

REMINDER: We have asked Sri Rangapriya Swami to speak in English

so that he may reach the widest possible audience. This talk is

intended primarily for mature teenagers and young adults who are

interested in some religious thinking. Youngsters such as these

from all religious backgrounds are invited to listen. Sri Swami

is an excellent speaker with an immense proven ability to reach

out to youth. Before taking sannyasa, Sri Swami was a Sanskrit

professor for many years in Bangalore. Countless people young and

old have benefitted from contact with him.

 

HOW TO LISTEN

-------------

 

The talk will be conducted over a tele-conference bridge and can

be heard over your telephone by dialing a number which will be
