Anyone who reads the Gita with an open mind and heart will come to experience this fact directly.Invest some time each day to sit quietly and read Bhagavad-Gita." --HG Vaisesika Prabhu

SUNDAY, JULY 26 - SUNDAY FEAST

As enunciated by Sri Krishna and repeated by the Acharyas, we are encouraged to remain simple and ever-ready to be engaged in devotional service. With our modern “advanced” lifestyles we are prone to get caught up in the network of senses yet the solution is, as you guessed it, keeping it simple. Srila Prabhupada once said, "Krsna consciousness is simple for the simple and complex for the complicated." Our speaker will present the simple process of devotional service and the means to attain the lotus feet of the Lord in this week's discussion. 

We cordially welcome to our Sunday feast program this week which includes kirtan, Bhagavad Gita discourse, Arotik and delicious prasadam!

4:00pm - 5:45pm: "Devotional Service - Keep It Simple" - Talk by H.G Hariguru Das
