We cordially invite you and your family to come and participate in the joyful experiences of chanting and dancing in the association of devotees in various Bhakti events at ISV! This week we have exciting Govardhan Puja Celebrations & daily evening Damodar Arati @ ISV temple.
"Of all the devotees, this Govardhana Hill is the best! O my friends, this hill supplies Krishna and Balarama, along with Their calves, cows, and cowherd friends, with all kinds of necessities: water for drinking, very soft grass, caves, fruits, flowers, and vegetables. In this way, the hill offers respect to the Lord. Being touched by the lotus feet of Krishna and Balarama, Govardhana Hill appears very jubilant. " - Srimad Bhagavatam 10.21.18

CHAPTER A DAY (CHAD) - BHAGAVAD GITA Recite one chapter of Bhagavad Gita Daily and transform your life!
"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
CHAPTER FOR THE MONTH OF Kartika Month 2023 Beginning on October 29, 2023 Tips to Practice CHAD Access BG chapter in CHAD format from here. Print it and carry it with you or access the link from your mobile device wherever you go and fill in the gaps with your recitation of Bhagavad Gita.
