Introduction to the Bhagavadgita- Part 1: Post-3.: Swami Krishnananda
Chinmaya Mission: 63 enthusiastic Chinmaya Yeva Kendras gathered in Krishnalaya for the annual CHYK San Jose retreat. Led by Brahmachari Soham (Chinmaya Mission San Jose) and Brahmacharini Stuti (Chinmaya Mission Columbus), the CHYKs studied 20 values from slogas 8-12 of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 13. Each day consisted of yoga, meditation, nature walks, discourses by the brahmacharins, Q&A sessions, group discussions, interactive workshops, seva projects, and fun evening activities. Retreat highlights included a hike amongst the towering redwoods of Richardson Grove State Park, a CHYK-led workshop based on the classic “snake” computer game, Antakshari around the campfire, and an open mic night. Each attendee also had the special opportunity for small group satsang with the brahmacharins. The retreat concluded with a puja at the Krishna grove and Guru Dakshina in Gurudev’s Kutiya. With Pujya Gurudev’s grace, the camp was a great success. ==========================...
