Relating to our near and dear ones
Building positive relationships isn’t easy, but the results are significant. Strong relationships bring us happiness and improve our physical and mental health.
Just for Fun
The individual soul is described in the Vedāntic expression ānandamayo ‘bhyāsāt: “composed entirely of bliss.” Spiritual play, in its deepest manifestation, is not incidental, supplemental or peripheral, but the very heartbeat of existence.
“Seeing Spirit, Not Gender” – By Her Grace Visakha Dasi
The leaders of the Church of England have made an exemplary statement. They have seen past Bishop Sarah’s bodily identification (a woman!) to her extraordinary personal merit.
Looking Inwards
Each experience and interaction offers an opportunity for self-discovery and learning about other devotees. It’s not always easy to confront our flaws, such as bad habits, a critical mindset, or cheating.
Bhakti Yoga – The Yoga of the Heart
As “perfect” robots gradually take over jobs, devaluing human skills, and artificial intelligence relieves us of the need to think, write, or memorise, all that remains in humans that can’t be taken away is the heart.
A Spiritual Voyager
Enter a world of magic, mysticism, adventure, and fascinating stories of the saints who dedicated their lives to serve the Supreme Lord Krishna.
Born to Serve
Not all of us may become spiritual teachers, learned scholars, or famous orators, but all of us can and should become servants of devotees. Come, visit us on Sundays, meet saintly devotees, and learn more about devotional service.
Golden Cup of Bhakti
We all carry a golden cup in the heart. When full of bhakti, it keeps us healthy, enthusiastic, and inspired in our spiritual practice. If the cup is empty, we struggle in our sadhana and service.
Sanctuary for the Soul
Come, join us and experience the joy of serving Lord Krishna, singing his praises, and celebrating His festivals.
Vrindavan In The Heart
A meditation and immersion, exploring the importance and spiritual beauty of Vrindavan, the land of Krishna (the Supreme Personality of Godhead) and His servants.
