Kirtan Vancouver is delighted to host an online sanga with Holocaust scholar and author Joshua M. Greene (Yogesvara Das) on the topic :

“A rational approach to non-violence in a violent age?”

What is the proper response in a time of violent rioting and racism? Are love and compassion always the correct course of action? What is a “spiritual warrior”?

Join us on Saturday March 27th 10am PST for a challenging look at devotional policy in private and social arenas.

A few words about Yogesvara Das:

After 13 years in ashrams of Europe and India, Joshua M. Greene (former monk, known as Yogesvara Das, under the guidance of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada) returned to New York and taught Hinduism and Holocaust history at Hofstra University until retiring in 2013. He lectures on journeys to enlightenment at universities and yoga studios nationwide. His yoga-related books include Here Comes the Sun: The Spiritual and Musical Journey of George Harrison, Swami in a Strange Land: How Krishna Came to the West (a biography  A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami) and Gita Wisdom: An Introduction to India’s Essential Yoga Text.
