SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Hinduism\, Ever-Evolving
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Now\n\nHow might process thought and Hindu traditions be in relationship? \nIn his video\, “Evolution and Vedanta\,” Swami Padmanabha talks about God or Love as the ultimate supreme reality\, and how God along with all realities is dynamic\, ever-evolving\, and growing. Reality is not made up of fixed\, changeless substances; rather\, it is marked by what he calls “deep evolution” – a sacred evolution at the very depths of reality. \nIn this conversation\, Dr. Jeffery Long\, a practitioner and theologian in the Vedanta tradition of Sri Ramakrishna as well as a scholar of process philosophy and Asian studies\, and Swami Padmanabha\, a leader and teacher in the Gaudiya Vaishnavism tradition of Hinduism\, will share their thoughts on resonances between their two Hindu traditions and process thought. \nThey’ll explore such areas as: \n\nThe dynamic nature of God and reality\nTexts and tradition as “ever fresh\,” especially in Vaishnava traditions and the tradition of Sri Ramakrishna\nHuman purpose\, consciousness\, and “radical personalism”\nAstonishment and surrender; divine will\, human choice\, and grace\n\n  \nQuotes\n  \n\n“Far from being opposed\, love and non-duality are two sides of the same coin. When you have one\, you have the other.” \nJeffery Long\, Ph.D. \n\n  \n\n“If divine love is a force of constant expansion\, it must surely affect the Divine\, who is love personified. A God affected by ever-evolving love becomes equally ever-evolving\, inviting us to an ongoing\, never-ending journey of progress and development.” \n“We are to keep pace with an ever-evolving reality that we are part of\, with an ever-evolving God we are tied to\, and thereby with an ever-evolving tradition to which these very principles are revealed to us.” \nSwami Padmanabha \n\n  \nAbout the Speakers\n  \nSwami Padmanabha\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt an early age\, Swami Padmanabha delved deeply into the theology of diverse mystical traditions. After taking up Gaudiya Vaishnavism in 1999 at the age of 19\, he has dedicated himself to an extensive study of the Gaudiya scriptures under the guidance of his various mentors. Fluent in English and Spanish\, Swami has written hundreds of articles in both languages\, with his first two books published in English and in the process of being translated to other languages. For the past twenty years\, he has traveled around the world and lectured in universities\, ashrams\, and yoga studios. All of his numerous talks and seminars are available online for free at swamipadmanabha.com. As a leader of spiritual retreats and communities\, he inspires both practitioners and visitors with his penetrating teachings and personal example. \n\n\nJeffery D. Long\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJeffery D. Long\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Religion\, Philosophy\, and Asian Studies for Elizabethtown College\, specializes in the religions and philosophies of India.  He is the author of several books and numerous articles and editor of the series  Explorations in Indic Traditions for Lexington Books.  In 2022\, his book Hinduism in America: A Convergence of Worlds received the Rajinder and Jyoti Gandhi Award for Excellence in Theology\, Philosophy\, and Critical Engagement. He has spoken in numerous venues\, both national and international\, including three talks at the United Nations\, and he has been interviewed for a PBS documentary on the life and teachings of Swami Vivekananda and for the History Channel series Holy Marvels. \n\n\n \n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat and receive the Zoom information\, click the Going button and enter your name and email. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Buddhist Process Explorations
DESCRIPTION:A Discussion Group About the Exploring\, Sharing\, and Practice of Buddhist Process-Relational Thought \n\n\n\nAt face value\, the Buddha’s Dharma and Whitehead’s Process Philosophy seem to characterize reality in very different ways\, and for different reasons. The Buddha taught that reality as we typically experience it is an impermanent\, selfless and dissatisfying process of cyclic becoming continuously powered by compulsive attachment and aversion grounded in delusion. The Buddha prescribed various methods we could deploy in order to go beyond this painful and immiserated condition\, methods which involve thorough analysis and deconstruction of our habituated and self-limiting assumptions about ourselves and the world as well as means of cultivating more purified states of awareness and embodiment so that we can awaken to the way things really are and unleash our core potential. \nWhitehead elaborated a systematic philosophical scheme\, replete with foundational metaphysical categories\, that reconstructs reality as a cumulative process of concrescence whereby many diverse feelings creatively synthesize into a novel experience\, aiming towards satisfaction and lured to completion through divine persuasion. For Whitehead\, many of the issues in philosophy and society at large could be traced to various fallacious conceptions concerning nature\, language\, and experience which he sought to rectify with his panexperiential\, process-relational Philosophy of Organism. \n  \nLEARN MORE & ENROLL
