Going strong since its launch one year ago the New Raman Reti 2nd Generation Initiative - dedicated to the 25 to 45-year-olds in our community - is going strong since its launch one year ago. Its three main programs are as follows:
1) The Mentoring Program offers an opportunity to develop a working relationship with a qualified senior devotee of your choice and confide in him or her with the aim of improving your spiritual wellbeing. A dozen of our community’s senior devotees have volunteered to be mentors for this program and have taken a one-day training session with professional family counselor Bhakti devi dasi Cohen.
2) The Guest Speaker Program addresses specific topics selected by the group through engaging discussions with a special guest speaker. Some of the events which have been hosted so far were: What it Means to be a Grihasta Today with Kalakantha das - Ask the Therapist – Q/A with a Professional Family Counselor with Bhakti devi dasi - How to best attract others to Krishna with Acyutananda das - The Four Regs and Me with Brahmatirtha das - Vaishnava Etiquette with Madhumati devi dasi
3) The Scripture Study Program provides a space for the group to study Srila Prabhupada’s books and share realizations based on their backgrounds and experiences. They are currently working through the Second chapter of Bhagavad Gita. The guest speaker and scripture study programs are held once a month at one of these devotee’s homes.
If you are between 25 and 45 and would like to attend some of these events, you are invited to join the FaceBook page “Alachua 2nd Gen Devotees”
