Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, nor be attached to inaction. Ch 2 vs 25 The soul is spoken of as invisible, inconceivable, and unchangeable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body. Ch 18 vs 12 The three-fold fruits of actions—pleasant, unpleasant, and mixed—accrue even after death to those who are attached to personal reward. But, for those who renounce the fruits of their actions, there are no such results in the here or hereafter.

    On 7Th May (Friday) Is Varuthini Ekadashi Please Have Your Last Grain Meal on Thursday Night. the Times to Break Your Fast With

    Prem Namaste, Vanakkum, Hare Krsna, Jai Shree Krsna, Jai Shree Raam All glories to our eternal Parents Shree Shree Radha Krsna All glories to the most merciful Shree Shree Lakshmi Nrsimhadeva All glories to Srila Prabhupada, and the other wonderful and inspiring gurus. All glories to the wonderful servants of the Supreme Lord. On 7th May (Friday) is Varuthini Ekadashi Please have your last grain meal on Thursday night. The times to break your fast with grains is on Saturday morning *** Break fast @ 06h29 to 10h05 (Durban), @ 06h35 to 10h15 (Jhb) Please refrain from eating grains and meat on this most auspicious day. (N.B I have included what to eat and what not to eat and 16 different meals to have on Ekadashi at the end of this email) The benefits of fasting on this day are endless. This Ekadashi bestows upon that devotee eradication of the greatest sins that he has committed and is awarded passage to the spiritual abode. One is granted freedom from obstacles in his spiritual progress and grants him the perfection of life. This day of fasting removes all sins eternally. This is the most meritorious day for destroying all kinds of sins. Please note that this auspicious day is not only for Hindus to observe. This fast can be observed by anyone. There’s no catch here. One who is truly universal does not discriminate; rather he/she respects and embraces all cultures. One very important point of note. Many perform different prayers like for example nullifying the negative effects of the planets and wonder why the prayer did not work – “ What happened, I did the prayer as the priest said and yet I feel the same ”.
