8:00pm: Sandhya Arotik and Narasimha Prayers followed by Prasadam | | SATURDAY, FEB 22 - 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. | | SATURDAY, FEB 22 - SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM DISCOURSE
"This Srimad Bhagavatam is a literary incarnation of God, and it is compiled by Srila Vyasadeva, the incarnation of God. It is meant for the ultimate good of all people, and it is all successful, all blissful and all perfect." (Suta Goswami SB3.40). Srila Prabhupada states,"Srimad Bhagavatam carries with it all transcendental blessings of Lord Sri Krsna that we can expect from his personal contact". We are pleased to invite you for this week's Srimad Bhagavatam discourse. 7:30am: Srimad-Bhagavatam Discourse Discourse by H.G.Vaisesika Prabhu @ 7:30am

The devotee who hears Krsna's words with a submissive heart immediately feels an ingress of causeless knowledge and detachment." - H. G. Vaisesika Prabhu Below is the 3 month BG/SB CHAD Plan.
