topic – Sri Radha, Our Divine Dance Guru
speaker – Pranada Devi Dasi (Pranada Comtois)
Description: Many of us feel attracted to the Feminine Divine and when we learn about Goddess Radha we’re intrigued, enthusiastic to know more, or – interestingly – trepidatious or unsure. We also have many questions about the truth of Sri Radha, where we can find more to read about her, and how to cultivate a personal relationship with Her. What kind of prayers and service are appropriate to offer Her? Am I qualified to approach Her? We’ll explore these and other questions to open our path to a personal relationship with Srimati Radharani.
what to expect
- wise, kindhearted & experienced group leader
