HH Romapada Swami

Romapada Swami is a disciple of Srila Prabhupada and an initiating spiritual master in ISKCON. Aside from traveling extensively throughout the world teaching bhakti yoga, Romapada Swami also serves as a member of the Governing Body Commission (GBC) within ISKCON. Despite his intense travels and managerial duties, Romapada Swami has nurtured the devotional lives of receptive souls for decades. Through his careful cultivation, there are robust spiritual communities in several major American cities, Guyana, India, and China, to name a few.

HH Romapada Swami will speak on:

1. Making sure our compass is set to the right direction, and our heart is attuned to the mood of the spiritual world.     

2. Recognizing the increasingly subtle inner thieves and traps on the path, and employing counteracting measures.     

3. How the fully humble soul enters into loving perfection in Vrindavana.

HG Mahatma Das

Mahatma Das first met Srila Prabhupada through The Bhagavad Gita As It Is in 1969, and then later that year met Srila Prabhupada personally in Los Angeles. In January of 1970 he moved into the temple in Berkeley, California and shortly after received first and second initiation. Today he works on developing workshops, social media, online courses and books both for devotees as well as the general public through his company Sattva [www.thesattvaway.com]. He practically shows the many ways that Krishna consciousness offers solutions to today’s challenges and writes and teaches in a way that resonates with devotees and people in general by helping them see life as a spiritual practice. He is based in Alachua, Florida where he lives with his wife and daughter, and travels about four months a year.

Mahatma Das will speak on:

        What is conditioning.    
        How conditioning affects our relationships, service, and the way we cope with             difficulty.    
        Becoming aware of our own conditioning.    
        Healing from past wounds and reconditioning our thinking.    
 4. The Insidious Nature of Pride    
       What is humility.    
       The place of humility and forgiveness in the practice of bhakti.    
       The difference between humility and low self-esteem.    
       How humility is meant to manifest in the stage of sadhana bhakti.    
 5. Self-care    
      Why do we need self-care?    
      How self-care can transform your spiritual.    
      The sastric basis for self-care.    
      The practice of spiritual suicide.      
 6. Sadhana Doesn’t End at 9 am    
     Our daily life – how we interact with others – is also part our sadhana.    
     Cognitive dissonance: not noticing when we are not walking the talk.    
     How to practice Krsna consciousness in every situation in our lives.    
     If everyone were like you, would ISKCON be better?
