You’re invited to participate in a mini-retreat at our Vedanta Book Club held on the third or last Sunday afternoon of each month. We tap into books – articles and short stories – providing varied spiritual themes for a discussion led by Pravrajika Gayatriprana; senior nun of the Ramakrishna Order. Program:

• 3.30-4 pm: Silent Meditation
• 4-5.30 pm: Discussion
• Afternoon Tea. Bring some healthy snacks to share.

IN THIS MEETING: We continue study and discussion of Christopher Isherwood’s essay on: The Gita and War.

Written in 1944 against the devastating backdrop of World War 2, Isherwood explores ethical dilemmas posed by the Gita.

• Is there such a thing as a righteous war?
• How to seek clarity in the moral complexities that life presents?
• In the face of dilemmas, to what extent can or should we take refuge in the fact that, philosophically and scientifically, this world is only relatively real?

Join the Discussion.
