June 2024- Urban Devi with Gopi Sandal- Trusting the Divine Hand that Guides Us

Trusting the Divine Hand that Guides Us with Gopi Sandal
Topic: It is difficult to see how one step leads to another in our spiritual journey unless we broaden our perspective. In the process of self realization, baby steps are huge.
We’ll be looking at ways to sharpen observation of our progress and techniques for self acceptance and instant renewal of our deep intention. When we acknowledge where we’re at right now, we can also become a greater asset for others.
Bio: Gopi Sandal (Gopi Mata Devi Dasi) grew up in the midwestern US. In 1977 she traveled to London where she met her Guru, Srila Prabhupada.
She stayed for 10 years in the ashram there and later married and moved back to the U.S. where she and her husband raised 3 sons.
Gopi has been teaching Yoga for over 30 years in Kansas and created the "Yoga with Heart" teacher training school. She lives on a 40 acre farm called Bhaktivana which is an intentional spiritual community. Along with her friends and family there, she hosts regular programs to celebrate Krsna Consciousness with Kirtan, Prasadam, and Bhakti philosophy. Gopi offers free online classes on Bhagavad ita, Srimad Bhagavatam, and other Bhakti philosophy studies. If you are interested in joining any of her classes, please contact Gopi at [e-mail].

Reflection Questions:
*Describe something that happened in your life that helped you move to the next level of your journey towards spiritual fulfillment. Do you think this was Divine reciprocation with your desire? Is it easier to see this now than it was at the time?
*Bring to mind a challenging time in your life. In retrospect, can you see any way that it changed you to make you a more enlightened person today?
*Take turns saying to Krishna….”Even though this is where I’m at today, I know that You see everything and love me anyway, In my heart of hearts, I am yours, please bring me to love.”
