I will be traveling around the country for the month of December. Its the season of goodwill, and as monks we travel through cities sharing spiritual ideas with everyone we meet. We will be everywhere from Portsmouth to Ipswich and from Norwich to Nottingham.
Ofcourse we dont like to use the word preaching... it conjours up images of self-righteous religious practicitoners, claiming how much better they are, and forcibly imposing ideas and worldviews on others. We feel our lives have been deeply enriched by these wonderful scriptures, and naturally feel inclined to share that with anyone who is interested. If not, we wish everyone a good day and leave them with a smile.
The world is in dire need of a spiritual message. The teachings of the Bhagavad-gita are non-sectarian, scientific, extremely practical and beneficial for people from all walks of life. We will carry thousands of these wonderful books of wisdom with us, inviting people to delve into something they may have never thought about... the yoga of love and gratitude...
May bump into you on the street... watch out!
PS: Can you guess the famous actor I met last year (picture above)?
