Srimad Bhagavatam Class with Swami Dayamritananda Puri

May 21, 2024 7:00pm-9:00pm (ended)

This Tuesday, Swami Dayamritananda Puri will conduct his Srimad Bhagavatam class from the MA Center Chicago satsang hall. The Srimad Bhagavatam was written by Bhagawan Vyasa, the compiler of the Vedas. The format for the class is a short meditation and spiritual discourse, followed by a few bhajans led by Swamiji and arati. For those who cannot attend live, the class will be broadcast on the MA Center San Ramon YouTube Channel.

About Srimad Bhagavatam:

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam or Bhāgavata, is one of the eighteen great Puranas (Mahapuranas) of Sanatana Dharma. It promotes Bhakti (devotion) integrating themes from the Advaita (monism) philosophy of Adi Shankara, Vishishtadvaita (qualified monism) of Ramanujacharya and Dvaita (dualism) of Madhvacharya. After compiling the Vedas, Bhagawan Vyasa was inspired to present their profound essence in the form of Srimad Bhagavatam. This text is considered to be the most complete exposition of Vedic knowledge, covering a wide range of topics including cosmology, nature, origin of the universe, astronomy, genealogy, geography, legend, music, dance, yoga and culture.

While this class will be broacast from MA Center Chicago, it's an MA Center San Ramon program. Please contact the MA Center San Ramon Events Team if you have any questions: macsrevents@ammagroups.org
