SATURDAY, MAY 27 - SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM
 


Srimad Bhagavatam is the galitam phalam, or ripened fruit, of all Vedic knowledge. It is exactly like amrita, for by hearing its recitation we can cross beyond birth and death. There are ten subject matters and when studied together, these ten subject matters fully establish the Supreme personality of Godhead, Bhagavan Sri Krishna, as the transcendental Absolute Truth.

Join us to deep dive and experience transcendental wisdom as explained in the great classic text, Srimad Bhagavatam. We are pleased to invite you for this week's Srimad Bhagavatam discourse.

HG Akrura Das was born at Shukataal, grew up at brahmachari ashram at Vrindavan, got initiated by HH Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaja in 1984 and was later sent to Vancouver where he served as temple president. He speaks avidly on Bhagavatam, is currently a Deputy GBC and travels most of the year preaching across India, Europe, Africa & North America.
