2:30pm - 3:30pm HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIPS Jaya Row Do you have conflict with the people you love most? One of the most scholarly and eloquent speakers of the Vedanta comes to the Bhavan. Mrs Jaya Row will discuss the topic of Harmonious relationships and how Vedanta steps in with solutions to this problem. ****** Love tainted with selfishness is 'attachment'. When you are attached you expect a return for your affection. You make demands on people. The relationship becomes conflict-ridden. In the end, it breaks down and you lose the person.
