Sri Jagannatha Vedic Center - East Coast Conference

Dear Students,

I have attached a flyer for the SJVC East Coast Conference, Princeton, NJ. Many of you expressed an interest in attending this conference and it should be an outstanding event. We will all have Sanjay's presence for the entire weekend and we will also have the opportunity to meet each other in person. Many of us are students at SJVC or a student of one of the SJVC Jyotish Gurus and have studied Sanjay's works on Parasara and Jaimini Jyotish. It will be a delight to meet in person for the first time. This is the beginning of some regular SJVC teaching events on both the East and West Coasts of the USA.

The charge for attending the conference for the weekend will be $200. This cost does not include room and board and you should factor this into your budget. There are a variety of Indian restaurants in the area and some are vegetarian.

Please send your check immediately to ensure yourself a place at this wonderful weekend of Jyotish and Vedic knowledge. Make the check payable to me (Brendan Feeley) and send it to the following address:

Brendan Feeley M.A., N.D.

Jyotish & Ayurveda

14816 Physicians Lane, Suite 252

Rockville, MD 20850

301-424-6644

In the memo section of your check indicate that the payment is for the SJVC East Coast Conference. We are in the process of creating a non-profit organization for SJVC in the USA and and the legal proceedings are not yet complete. We do not have an SJVC bank account, as yet, and this is the reason the check is to be made payable to me.

LOCATION - CHANGE OF VENUE

Originally, this event was planned to be held in Manhattan, NYC. Many people had reservations about that location and I was fortunate to find a beautiful place in Princeton, NJ. The name of the location is CENTER HEART, Inc. and many of you will agree that the following description makes it an ideal spot for the study of spiritual Jyotish. The following is an extract of the vision and intention of this facility that I received from the founder, Patricia Hess.

Center Heart, Inc., Enlightenment through Sacred Science, is a New Jersey based non-profit corporation that has come into being to foster the spiritual experiences that enlighten individuals to the authenticity of Divine Consciousness. Through meditation, prayer and ceremony, with classes and workshops designed to enlighten through an understanding of Sacred Science, Center Heart opens the heart of the participant.

Center Heart is located at Honeybrook Farm, a 63-acre private retreat in the beautiful countryside five minutes from Princeton, NJ. There is an immediate feeling of peace as one comes up the long driveway, stirring a memory of a time many centuries ago when there were no cars and far fewer worries. The Farm is both a natural forest with a meandering creek and a meadowland that is home to deer, wild turkeys and other natural wildlife, thus reminding each of us of the beautiful balances that nature, when left alone, always assumes. The house itself, built in 1730, has beamed ceilings, many fireplaces, a quiet library, and a newer addition that allows for large, yet intimate, gatherings.

The address is: 80 Elm Ridge Road, Princeton, NJ 08540.

ACCOMODATION

There are a few motels in the area and they are reasonable priced. I was told that the price would be approximately $45.00 per night. You might want to share a room with other attendees to reduce the cost. Here are two reasonable priced contacts in the area but there are many others and you should search the internet to suit your specific needs.

The Inn at Pennytown, 609-466-2000 (try this first if price is a major consideration).

Red Roof Inn, Lawrencetown, 800-733-7663 (US 1 North)

BOOKS

You should be reading Sanjay's books in preparation for this event. Narasimha Rao's book, "Vedic Astrology: An Integrated Approach" would be an excellent reference throughout the weekend. The course is designed to appeal to all levels and when Sanjay teaches, everybody in the audience understands. This is a rare gift. He is a true Master of Jyotish Shastra. Know the basics and you will follow the material. Jyotish is always about basics. The attached program outline will give you additional details on the topics to be covered. Please send me an e-mail if you have any questions about the program content.
