Head to Heart w/ Nityananda Chandra | The Darshan Room
About this Event
"Head to Heart
Before love comes understanding. Before conviction comes inquiry. In the Seventh Chapter of the Bhagavad Gītā, Krishna invites us to move beyond both blind belief and blind skepticism by asking a deeper question: How do we know what is true? At its heart, this is a question of epistemology—the study of how we acquire reliable knowledge. Join us as we explore how knowledge leads to realization, and how the journey to God begins in the head but ultimately transforms the heart."
Hi 🙋♂️ I’m Chandra, (AKA )
I began my journey into the spirituality of the East over 30 years ago. Since then I have spent many years studying Vedic philosophy in ashrams around the USA and India. I have been teaching topics such as karma, Ayurveda, the guṇas of yoga, meditation, kirtan, Bhagavad Gītā, and so on.
My teaching journey has led me to speak at many universities, multinational companies, yoga studios, retreats, and in humble settings of homes and 12-step programs. Teaching is my passion, helping others help oneself is what inspires me.

Agenda
🕑: 06:00 PM - 06:30 PM
Kirtan & Dance in temple room
Info: Get your dance on or just absorb yourself in the sacred space and atmosphere. The Darshan Room starts off in the temple room with the broader temple community with kirtan (mantra meditational chants & dance) and devotional dance. It is a powerful way to bring mind out of the busyness of NYC and enter the sacred atmosphere by engaging the mind, voice, and body.

The Darshan Room - Meditative kirtan & discourse held in Lotus Room downstairs
Info: We have a variety of kirtan singers and guest educators who lead the wisdom talks. We conclude with a delicious and sacred vegetarian dinner that we serve to you.
