SEP 21, WEDNESDAY : MEDLEY OF INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE BHAGAVAD GITA

If one properly follows the instructions of Bhagavad-gītā, one can be freed from all miseries and anxieties in this life, and one's next life will be spiritual. If one adopts the principles enunciated in Bhagavad-gītā, he can make his life perfect and make a permanent solution to all the problems of life. This is the sum and substance of the entire Bhagavad-gītā. (Bhagavad Gita As It Is Preface)

Join us as we hear the beautiful instructions from the Bhagavad Gita tonight!

We extend a warm welcome to you and your family to join us for our Wednesday Gita class!

Please join us as we honor Vaisesika Prabhu for his immense work to spread Krsna Consciousness following in the footsteps of his spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada on Saturday, September 24th. Vyasapuja is an annual celebration by the devotees to offer homage to their guru or spiritual teacher.

SEP 25, SUNDAY FEAST LECTURE

It is our language, either spoken or written, that moves and shapes our lives. In fact, all creations, including the creation of our universe, are preceded by language. What then is the power of repeating the Maha-mantra or the Gayatri mantras, which emanate from the spiritual world? There will be a number of devotees taking Harinam initiation from H.G Vaisesika Prabhu on this day. 

We cordially welcome to our Sunday feast program this week which includes Kirtan, Krishna Katha, Arotik and delicious prasadam!
