SHRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA SERIES Monday, May 23rd through Friday, May 27th, 2011 Discourse by Pujyashree Bhupendrabhai Pandya More than anything else today, our society desperately needs leaders to guide us along the path towards success and glory. Pujyashree Bhupendrabhai Pandya, who has often been described as a cyber saint, an adult who understands the youth, a preacher who does not preach but shares, a confidant, a leader who holds many hands to lead them towards the brilliance of knowledge, a Guru who truly brings out the best in all lives that he touches.. fits the bill perfectly. He enlightens people all over the world with his easily comprehensible presentation of ancient scriptures. With his pious inspiration and guidance, many souls have experienced the effulgence of true knowledge. He possesses the rare ability to rationally interpret eternal principles, while focusing on the applied aspect of religion. He does not stop at mere explanation, but suggests as to how these time-tested principles can be incorporated in our daily routine in order to experience a richer and wholesome life. Bhaishri s mastery of languages such as Gujarati, English, Hindi, Marathi and Sanskrut, his scientific educational background, and his ability to explain the reasoning behind traditions make him exceptionally popular with the youth. He is able to bridge the distance between heritage and the contemporary. He is a master orator but more than anything else, he is a true leader and in bringing out the relevance of age-honored wisdom, the true need of the hour. He has the ability to recognize problems, the intellect to solve them, and the courage to put those solutions in practice. He has contributed effectively to the qualitative transformation of mankind. HARI cordially invite all like-minded devotees for an oration of the time-tested principles of the Bhagavad Gita. It is that time of the year again when Harrisburg is drenched in the showers of spirituality. With Bhaishri s immense affection for us, he has agreed to grace the occasion and shed light on the third and fourth chapters. This is an ongoing series of discourses on the Bhagavad Gita, which have been held each year, whereby each verse in each chapter will be discussed in detail. HARI Executive Committee whole-heartedly thanks the sponsors of the program. Schedule: (Monday, May 23rd to Friday, May 27th) 6:00pm to 7:00pm Light Dinner will be served. 7:00pm to 7:15pm Aarti 7:15pm to 9:30pm Discourse by Shri Bhupendrabhai Pandya (Bhaishri) All the devotees are encouraged to sponsor a light dinner or daily program by contacting: Mrs. Rupal Satish Shah (717 337 3728), Mrs. Shobhana Devendra Parikh (717 761 6718), Mrs. Hersha Hasu Shah (717 763 9949) or Mrs. Renuka Yogesh Parikh (717-763-0377) Page 6
