DEVOTIONAL GATHERINGS
Understanding the goal of life is a gradual process of association with devotional souls and teachers who can guide us out of the complexities of this material world. Many teachers and Gurus have come to show us how to find eternal love for the Divine. Bhakti yoga is the prescribed practice for this day and age of Kali. The practice of Bhakti yoga completely revolves around love. You can practice Bhakti through devotional chanting, the repetition of mantras, or the direction of unconditional love and service to the divine in a personal relationship. Our home programs bring together a community of people who are searching for this loving connection with the divine. Through readings of sacred texts, chanting, singing and educational discourse we find our true position and place on the spiritual platform. This is an opportunity to engage in practices that raise the consciousness to a higher transcendental platform in order to escape the burdens of this present life. Book a home program with us or connect with us to find out when the next event is scheduled.
BHAGAVAD GITA CLASSES
The Bhagavad-gita or “Song of God” is universally renowned as the jewel of spiritual wisdom. Spoken over 5,000 years ago, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provides a definitive guide to the science of self realisation. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme.
Join us each Friday evening for classes pertaining to the most confidential knowledge on pure spiritual practice for this age. Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada came to the Western world to give us access to these ancient scriptures by translating them from Sanskrit into english. Those who are fortunate to hear this knowledge will quickly find liberation from the endless cycle of birth and death.
We look forward to sharing with you this sacred knowledge, devotional chanting and singing, social connection with like minded souls and a light tasty supper afterwards.
Bhakti Yoga or Bhakti Marga is not a religion and it is not a group that you join. It is something that you find in the deepest part of your soul. It is the process by which one falls in love with the divine and remembers their highest devotional identity. It is the path of Love, and it is the very thing that every living entity is looking for.
“Harer nāma Harer nāma Harer nāmaiva kevalam kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā”
‘In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy, the only means of deliverance is the chanting of the holy names of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way.’
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya lila 6.242
“Nita-siddha Krsna-prema sadhya kabhu naya Sravanadi-suddha-citte karaye udaya
Krsna prema is a potentiality which sits eternally in the hearts of tall living entities; it is not brought about by sadhana. It manifests itself in the heart purified by sadhana and the performance of the limbs of Bhakti including Hearing, chanting, singing, praying and remembering. Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila 22.107
