# Event Details - **Event Name**: Three Worldviews: Action, Awareness, and Affection @ The Darshan Room - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 12 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Sun, 12 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: A Sunday event that taps into the essence of the Krishna Conscious experience. Uplifting kirtan, dynamic discussions, & amazing veg dinner.About this EventWhy do people approach life so differently—some striving to improve it, others trying to transcend it, and still others seeking something deeper altogether?In this talk, we’ll explore three fundamental worldviews found across cultures and traditions: action, awareness, and affection. These correspond to the classical paths of karma, jñāna, and bhakti—each offering a distinct way of understanding reality and our place within it.We’ll examine how the action-oriented seek fulfillment through results, how the awareness-driven turn inward to detach from illusion, and how the affection-centered discover a deeper, relational dimension of truth.Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, we’ll also see how these are not just competing philosophies, but stages of human development—and how the path of bhakti uniquely integrates action and awareness while remaining accessible to all, regardless of background or qualification.Whether you're driven by achievement, reflection, or a search for meaning, this talk offers a framework to better understand yourself—and the next step forward.Hi 🙋‍♂️ I’m Chandra, (AKA )I began my journey into the spirituality of the East over 30 years ago. Since then I have spent many years studying Vedic philosophy in ashrams around the USA and India. I have been teaching topics such as karma, Ayurveda, the guṇas of yoga, meditation, kirtan, Bhagavad Gītā, and so on.My teaching journey has led me to speak at many universities, multinational companies, yoga studios, retreats, and in humble settings of homes and 12-step programs. Teaching is my passion, helping others help oneself is what inspires me.🤘Punk to monk 🙊🪗Kirtan ♥️ lover🪘📿 Bhakti teacher 🪷🕉 Sanskrit nerdBhakti community directorFounder of The Darshan Room (estḍ 2013)Soul Talks - co-manager @ Bhakti CenterOnline Community Manager @ Wisdom of the Sages #1 podcast on SpiritualitySpiritual Leadership Course Graduate - Mayapur 2015Bhakti Sastri degree - 2023Dallas College - Associate of Arts 2023GBC College - Leadership graduate 2023Married for 20+ years - 3 kidsbased in NYC 🗽A Spiritual Clarity Space - Live Kirtan - Spiritual Discourse - Sumptuous Vegetarian Feast6:00-6:30pm - Live Kirtan in temple room6:30-7:45pm - Wisdom Talk @ Lotus Room7:45pm - Dinner @ Lotus RoomTheDarshanRoom.com https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/5f5d5710-3022-11f1-b66b-c789a2302db1-rimg-w1110-h740-dc13192d-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/5f930d10-3022-11f1-9eb7-3140a20b4450-rimg-w555-h740-dc77635a-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/5fc121f0-3022-11f1-b66b-c789a2302db1-rimg-w1109-h740-dcd7d7d5-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/5ff5c680-3022-11f1-9eb7-3140a20b4450-rimg-w1110-h740-dceffefe-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/6029f5e0-3022-11f1-b66b-c789a2302db1-rimg-w1110-h740-dcf9f1e9-gmir.jpg Agenda🕑: 06:00 PM - 06:30 PMKirtan & Dance in temple roomInfo: Get your dance on or just absorb yourself in the sacred space and atmosphere.
