Quote of the Week
Even here in this life, the universe is conquered by those whose minds are established in equanimity.  Flawless indeed and equally present everywhere is Brahman (God,) therefore they are established in Brahman. 
Bhagavad-Gita 5.19

Commentary:   "Those whose minds are established in equanimity" are the ones who recognize and live the truth that they are united with their Creator, and therefore with the entire Creation.  They are the ones who delight only in their Beingness; who are content in their Beingness, who rejoice only in their Beingness; for them there is nothing they need do, for their Beingness already accomplishes everything!  Neither do they have any profit to gain in this life from the things they have done or from the things they have not done; nor is there any living creature on whom they need rely for any purpose.  They have no attachment to anything and so they have attained the Supreme Brahman, i.e., they see all things in Brahman, and Brahman in all things.  This is the great benefit of a mind established in equanimity.
Yogi Edmond

followed by:

Group Mantra Chanting (Japa)
From 4:00 - 4:30pm

The purpose of Japa is to stimulate our awareness so we remember and reawaken to our divine lineage.  We repeat the name of God to remember our inherent perfection. . 
Hari, Krishna, and Rama, are just three of the thousand names of God in the Vedic tradition.  If you prefer, you may substitute, any name from any tradition, including your own name, for in truth, all names are God Who is the Source of everything in Creation.
