Have you heard that association with advanced devotees is of crucial importance for spiritual advancement?
What?
With great delight, we are inviting you to the first winter seminar that will take place in January 2007. at Adriatic coast. The subject, “The Nectar of Instruction” (Upadesamrta), will be lectured by H.H. Smita-Krishna Swami in a picturesque Žaborich village (close to Šibenik).

Still under impression of recent successful Japa retreat on the island of BraÄ, we decided to facilitate an interactive seminar in a rented house with the central heating. The house is capable of accommodating cca 35 devotees and has all necessary features for such a function (including the floor heating in a room that could serve as a temple-room. It is located on a beach and surrounded with holiday homes, which are usually vacant at that time. In front of the south sunny veranda – grow tangerines, which indicates pleasing winter Mediterranean days. Devotees will be accommodated largely in the surrounding apartments with decent heating facilities (for the ‘seminar house’ itself has insufficient number of rooms).
How?
The morning hours will be reserved for usual Deity worship, followed by Bhagavatam lecture. The seminar will take place in afternoon hours. Spare time (apart from eating), could be used for nature trekking and sightseeing in company of a great nature liver – namely, H.H. Smita-Krishna Swami.
