WINTER SEMINAR WITH HH SMITA KRSNA SWAMI ON ADRIATIC COAST

11-09-2006, 05:20 PM

Dear devotees, obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Have you heard that association with advanced devotees is of crucial
importance for spiritual advancement? In order to offer you an opportunity
for such association...

....with great delight, we are inviting you to the first winter seminar that
will take place in January 2007. at Adriatic seashore. The subject, "The
Nectar of Instruction" (Upadesamrta), will be lectured by H.H. Smita-Krishna
Swami in a picturesque Žaboriæ village (close to Šibenik).

Still under impression of recent successful Japa retreat on the island of
Braè, we decided to facilitate an interactive seminar in a rented house with
the central heating. The house is capable of accommodating cca 35 devotees
and has all necessary features for for such a function (including the floor
heating in a room that could serve as a temple-room.) It is located on a
beach and surrounded with holiday homes, which are usually vacant at that
time. In front of the south sunny veranda - grow tangerines, which portends
pleasing winter Mediterranean days. Devotees will be accommodated largely in
the surrounding apartments with decent heating facilities (for the 'seminar
house' itself has insufficient number of rooms).

How?
The morning hours will be reserved for usual Deity worship, followed by
Bhagavatam lecture. The seminar will take place in afternoon hours. Spare
time (apart from eating), could be for nature trekking and sightseeing in
company of a great nature liver - namely, H.H. Smita-Krishna Swami.

When?
The seminar officially starts on 23rd January '07 (Tuesday), followed by
lunch break and afternoon seminar session. It ends on 28th January '07
(Sunday) by the morning programme and SB lecture.

Where?
Žaboriæ village is located half an hour drive on the local motorway from
Split and cca ten min. drive away from Šibenik. (Two and a half hours drive
from Zagreb).

How much?
E 80per person, which includes: Venue rental, prasadam, lecturer's expenses
and modest donation to Maharaj as a token of gratitude for his choice to
spend with us some pleasant January days. The additional charge will be €60
for five days accommodation, but this charge could be decreased if we get
more participants than expected.
