​Krishna’s Last Teachings

         -
 
Mantras & Practical Insights  

             April 21 - 22, 2018
  Ananda Ashram in Monroe NY 
Krishna’s last teachings include instructions on small adjustments we can make in our lives to produce practical & profound benefits. The Uddhava Gita, also called the ‘Last Teachings of Krishna’, contains extensive practical instructions on life including teachings not contained in the more widely known Bhagavad Gita. The Uddhava Gita is a portion of the Shrimad-Bhagvatam scripture.
 
This mantra & knowledge immersion workshop makes understandable the many ways that Krishna’s teachings to Uddhava can be applied to all of life’s challenges.

WHAT ARE THE PRACTICAL TEACHINGS in this workshop?
•   We’ll learn that Sri Krishna’s weapons are not physical weapons, but specific manifestations of focused & empowered consciousness, attainable in our spiritual growth.

•   Krishna teaches many simple methods to accelerate the inflow of sattvic energies of purification, peace & shakti into our lives (off the yoga-mat, outside of meditation time methods!).

•   Krishna’s instructions to Uddhava, about the location of the Deity within us, in the hidden 8 petal chakra – the ‘cave within the heart’ – and several mantras which can empower our getting there.

•   Krishna’s solution to his statement that we don’t know who we are! And methods which can lead us, eventually, to a direct knowing of who Sri Krishna is!

•   Krishna’s teaching that the highest form of Vedic ceremony does not involve physical materials, instruments or external procedural steps!

•   And of course, the many inspired Krishna mantras to help us with personal issues, purification, attaining inner peace, and attuning to the Paramatman (called by many names: Source, The Oversoul, Brahman, etc.)

•   We’ll even learn why Krishna appeared to the Sages as a swan!

•   And by Divine Grace, we’ll have fun sharing these sacred, potent & profoundly practical teachings.


Attendees will receive detailed handouts plus a recording of all workshop mantras. 
Krishna’s Last Teachings tell us: ‘We do not know who we are’. But if we practice these teachings, ‘we discover that we are more than we ever thought we could be!’ According to Swami Ambikananda

"He who but tastes with genuine faith of this nectar of knowledge that was imparted to the devoted Uddhava by Sri Krishna ... frees himself, and the world with him".   from the Uddhava Gita (24:48)
