Today I had a meeting with my counsellees from 6pm to 8pm.
Attendees: Yogesvari, Cassie, Sonal, Tivra Bhakti dd, & me!
Apologies: Josna, Cintia, Priya, Bhavisha, Julia, Gopi
Agenda:
1) Individual recital (in Sanskrit and English) of the homework verses which were Bg 2.13 and Bg 3.27.
2) Topic talk by Tivra Bhakti dd entitled " Our motives in taking to Krsna Consciousness".
This was based on the 5 types of actions mentioned in the Bg.
3) Continuation of my talk on the demons in Vrindavan (in Srila Prabhupada's Krsna book).
We read and discussed: Sakatasura (the cart demon). Carrying the burden of the cart-load of old and new bad habits, lethargy and vanity & Trnavarta (the whirlwind demon). The false pride arising from material scholarship, which gives rise to bogus philosophies.
4) Group japa
5) Prasadam - kept it simple - just chips!
Hare Krsna!
