We are starting a new weekly program.

Welcome to our new weekend program, specially designed for our growing community of visitors! This initiative explores the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad-Gita and the transformative power of Krishna's names through kirtan and japa (mantra meditation). Join us on a journey of spiritual growth, meaningful connection, and inner peace.

The components of our program are as follows:

• Kirtan and Japa

Kirtan involves repetitive singing of sacred mantras accompanied by musical instruments like the harmonium, kartals and mridanga. Kirtan helps devotees connect with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, fostering a sense of love and devotion.

Japa is a spiritual practice involving the repetitive recitation of a mantra, often softly, to cultivate spiritual growth and self-awareness. Japa helps quiet the mind, concentrating thoughts and calming mental chatter.

The mantra we focus on is the Hare Krishna maha-mantra:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna

Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama

Rama Rama Hare Hare

• Bhagavad-Gita Class

The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Indian spiritual text, has been a source of guidance and inspiration for centuries. Its universal message of self-discovery, spiritual growth, and purposeful living continues to resonate with people from all walks of life. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion and reflection on the Bhagavad Gita, as we delve into its timeless wisdom and explore its relevance in our modern lives.

• Lunch Prasadam

Prasadam is a vegetarian food offering made to a deity during worship. The offering is considered to be holy and is believed to be efficacious because it has been touched by the deity. We partake of Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai’s prasadam.

As much as possible, we try to cook with locally produced food.
