Pleasure – what’s the best you have got ?

The summer sun is at its very best, vacations are here and a time to indulge without worrying about assignments or deadlines. Perhaps now is a time to a prepare a wish list of your life’s delights – what’s the best pleasure you have ?

The desire for pleasure is in every living entity. We endeavor daily to increase the joys in our life, find ways and means to replenish our pleasure seeking buds – who doesn’t want it. From the mome...nt you are born, a little baby, the pleasure seeking urge is there. Yoga knowledge prompts us to ask the essential question – what is the best pleasure out there, who has it and who can we get it from. What is the best means to extract pleasure from life ?

Join in for an interactive discussion and a dynamic presentation with like minded people to explore the joys of life and find what the yoga texts point as the the best pleasure up for grabs.

Delicious vegan dinner for all participants followed by a round of dessert.

Please RSVP to reserve a spot.

Event Fee (incl. vegan dinner) : $7 ($5 for all university students)

We look forward to seeing you there!

Hello Everyone.

Hope you all had a good weekend!

This week BYC brings you:

True Love
Wednesday, February 9th , 6:30pm
Main Activity Hall, Multi-Faith Centre, 569 Spadina Avenue.

A warm fuzzy feeling that leaves you with a smile is commonly understood to be love. The arrow of lust strikes your heart like a mad fire consumes you when you see that one right person. Yet quite quickly the object of lust fades into indifference leading only to heartbreak and frustration. Constantly hindered in our quests we are led to wonder if the basic instincts gripping our mind are love or lust. Our eternal longing unanswered, we may ask is 'happily ever after' true only in fairytales?

Join us for an evening of discussion followed by a delicious vegan meal and dessert towards the end.

See you there!!!

Happy New Year! Hope you all are having a great week!

This week BYC brings you:
~ BHAGAVAD GITA: The Spiritual Gem Revealed ~

Wednesday, January 12th, 6:30pm

@ Main Activity Hall, Multi-Faith Centre, 569 Spadina Avenue.

We live in times when words like religion, duty and piety are
considered dogma or taboo. Even behind the comfortable charades of
modern technology, in the hearts of a select few, still grows the
desire to know the purpose of your life. Fed up with organized
religion people have started reaching out to different corners of the
world in search of their real identities. This search has created a
generation of modern day spiritualists who dare to try out something
different. People like you - people who would fly across the globe in
search for knowledge of the ancient east. People who would break out
of trendy gyms and acrobatics to search for yoga.

Here is a proposal to such bold and beautiful minds: Bhagavad Gita is
the culmination of your search. Join us for a discussion on the
time-tested wisdom as presented by this ancient eastern text. The
Bhagavad Gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's
spiritual wisdom and provides a definitive guide to the science of
self-realization.

Not to forget the delicious vegan dinner that awaits you towards the end!

See you there!!!
