WEDNESDAY, AUG 28 -  CONTINUED READING OF VYASA-PUJA OFFERINGS TO SRILA PRABHUPADA

This Wednesday, August 28th, starting 6 pm PDT we will continue with the readings of the Vyasa-puja offerings to Srila Prabhupada. The chance to read will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.  If you would like to read your offering then please RSVP to Syamalangi Devi Dasi.
SATURDAY, AUG 31 -  MAKE JAPA GREAT AGAIN -SPECIAL JAPA CIRCLE @ 6:00 AM

The Sri Caitanya-caritamrita (Adi-lila, 17.22)  says, "In this age of Kali, the holy name of the Lord, in the form of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, is the incarnation of Lord Krishna. Simply by chanting the holy name, one associates with the Supreme directly. Anyone who does this is certainly delivered." In other words, it is this mantra that provides the doorway which leads directly to the spiritual realm. Furthermore, the use of it means that we change the vibrational level of our own consciousness and the environment in which we exist. This can cause the manifestation of that spiritual vibration and atmosphere in this material world. 

6.00am: Special Japa Circle with H.G Vaisesika Prabhu

H.G.  Vaisesika Prabhu has started this "Japa Circle" initiative to demonstrate the power of chanting in the association of devotees and deepen our love and attachment to Krishna's Holy Name.

BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS - Chapter A Day (CHAD)

"As Arjuna set aside his bow and arrows, let us set aside any sense of confidence in our own abilities so that we may hear Krsna's words with full heart and attention.This kind of submissive hearing is the primary requirement for advancement in spiritual life. The devotee who hears Krsna's words with a submissive heart immediately feels an ingress of causeless knowledge and detachment." – H. G. Vaisesika Prabhu

CHAD is a worldwide alliance of devotees who chant at least one chapter of Bhagavad-gita As It Is every day. 

Please recite Chapter 3 (verses 1 – 21) of Bhagavad Gita every day along with one purport from 27 Aug 2019 to 23 Sep 2019
