I have been asked many times, Why do you laugh so much and make so many jokes? I become serious sometimes--when I have a stomachache! The Lord is all blissfulness. He is the reality behind all that exists. He is the goodness, the truth in everything. You are His incarnations. That is what is glorious. The nearer you are to Him, the less you will have occasions to cry or weep. The further we are from Him, the more will long faces come. The more we know of Him, the more misery vanishes.

In the month of December 2022, Rev Swami Sridharananda ji contracted COVID. Although he has come out of COVID, the heavy medication and post-covid effects have left him very weak. He is recuperating slowly.
At present we hope / estimate that he will resume his Gita classes again by April 2023.
Keeping in mind the high age group category of the devotees and friends who visit the centre, we recommend that you wear a mask when you visit the centre. Many thanks.
Quote for the day
Vedanta
Vedanta is based on the Vedas - one of the most sacred and ancient scriptures of the Hindus. It is a system of philosophy which is based on the idea that all reality is a single principle, Brahman (God), and teaches that the believer's goal is to transcend the limitations of self-identity and realize one's unity with Brahman. It is not based on the life and teachings of any one particular saint or prophet. It is a federation of faiths and a commonwealth of spiritual concepts.
Harmony of Religions
Every religion teaches man to fill his being with the glory of God and to transcend pettiness and selfishness. It trains him in the methods of unattachment and discernment, so that he may aim high and attain spiritual perfection.
