Dear Friends,
Hope this meets you well.
The holy month of kartik ended last week and we hope everyone did extra chanting and reading of literature during this period. It is said that anyone can make tremendous progress by associating with devotees , chanting and reading scriptures like Srimad Bhagvad Gita and Srimad Bhagvatam during such sepcial periods. Following the previous acharya, at ISV we have special focus on distrbuting and reading books and we had many devotees who took up the CHAD program of chanting one chapter of Bhagvad Gita every day.
All the devotees who performed the CHAD during kartik can report their scores through the following link & receive a transcendental gift.
His Grace Vaisesika Prabhu is back from His annual trip from Vrindavana and will be delivering special seminar series at ISV for Wed, Sat and Sunday on "the five elements of powerful Sadhana" . Please join us to learn the details from this expert practitioner

Since then, this weekly Sunday Love Feast festival is celebrated in all Hare Krishna temples around the world. We extend a warm and hearty welcome to you, your friends and family. Please join us at ISV for this wonderful event every Sunday.
Furthermore, to offer sumptuous prasadam to the devotees is an auspicious activity.

We will offer the bhoga to the Deities and serve prasadam to all the devotees in your name. Donation amount for the Sunday Feast is $301 only.
This week Sunday Feast is sponsored by His Grace Shankaranad Prabhu for his son's birthday
