A SNEAK PEEK INTO SENSITIVE HEARTS
A Six Session Online Course by Gauranga Darshan Das
based on the book Disapproved but not Disowned
What would be your response to someone’s mistake? Can you excuse them wholeheartedly? Errors cannot be endorsed, but disapproval of wrong-doings need not make one apathetic to the wrongdoers. “Hate the Sin, Not the Sinner!” is the golden principle exemplified by great people.
In this course, Gauranga Darshan Das describes the strict yet sensitive dealings of God and His devotees to inspire a journey from apathy to empathy, and from rejection to reformation, while responsibly dealing with others’ mistakes.
Through relevant episodes from Srimad Bhagavatam, Sri Caitanya-caritamrita and Ramayana, this course discusses the nature of loving, compassionate and forgiving hearts. This course also emphasises the importance of genuine repentance for one’s mistakes, and an honest attempt to rectify them and not repeat them.
