Uddhava Gita:
Beautiful Conversation Between Krishna and Uddhava.
Uddhava was Krishna’s childhood friend and had done a number of services to Bhagwan Krishna.
He had never asked anything from Krishna. Krishna asked him to ask for anything Uddhava wishes
as a benefit or boon.
Though Uddhava did not desire anything for himself, the conduct of Krishna, whom he had ob-
served from childhood, appeared to be a riddle, with his words and deed being divergent. He wished
to get an clarification from Lord Krishna.
What follows is a beautiful, heartening, enlightening and the final teachings of the Lord to His dear-
est devotee. These final chapters of Shri Bhagavatam is worth learning for every devotee of Lord
Krishna and even the most ascetic Vedanta student who may have intellectually accomplished the
study of the Vedas and yet may have missed its very glue to the human heart. As Shri Shankarachar-
ya has said, Jnanam without Bhakti is like a wick burning in a lamp without the oil.
Class is Limited to 15 Members, only 10 more remaining.

Spiritual Celebration
Importance of Pitri-Paksha Shradha-Tarpan - Every year, an important period of 15 days (Pitru Paksha or Shraadh) is dedicated to the ancestors and forefathers. Pitru Paksha is considered perfect for performing Tarpan rituals. It is believed that the rituals performed during Shraddh produces best results for pleasing the ancestors. Shradh occurs right before the Sharada Navaratri in autumn. Like every year, Shraddha is coming again in 2018 with a great significance for our ancestors and for us. Shradh marks an important time for performing the ritual of Tarpan. Hindus will perform rituals of Tarpan for their departed ancestors and forefathers this year at our mandir. We will perform Tarpan in Shradh in the way of remembering, giving thanks and honoring the ancestors for all they have given us, the present generations. It is a way of telling them that they are still an important part of our family and they still reside in our memories. Period of Shradh is also known as Pitru Paksha. Shraadh Paksha is also a time to offer our prayers for liberation of our forefathers' Atmas Date: Sept.25th to Oct.9th–according to South Jersey Panchang. Matri Navami Shradha on Thursday Oct 4th, 2018; Sarva Pitri Shadha on Tuesday Oct.9th, 2018. We are introducing two new short pujas during Shraddha Paksha lasting 15-20 minutes through out the mornings between 9:30 and 11:30. No booking needed. For questions, please contact Pujari Sudhirji.
