Jubilation!

A rare and very welcome visit from Gopi-manjari and her family is expected this weekend.

Gopi was one of the 'pillars' of the Belfast temple for several years, before ruthlessly deserting us to live in America. She's still badly missed. So it will be a happy reunion on Sunday, also with her husband, Lalita-madhava and baby son, Madhava.

Gopi will give the talk at the Sunday Feast, this Sunday. As you might expect from the photo, her talk will be on the subject of Yoga - the relationships between the different kinds of yoga, and how they can be used to support the topmost jewel of Yoga - bhakti. Gopi will sit in a normal cross-legged position while giving her class.

Gopi teaches yoga in Washington DC and introduces her students to the teachings of Bhagavad-Gita and the practise of kirtan as an important part of their yoga practise. If you happen to live in Washington you can find her here: Hot Yoga.

So, come along, if you can, to hear Gopi speak. Lalita-madhava, will lead us in kirtan afterwards, for the refreshment of our inner selves. We look forward, as always, to seeing you!

Sunday, 17th June.

Class - 4.00 p.m.
Kirtan -4.45 p.m.
Vegetarian Feast - 5.20 p.m.
