Spiritual gatherings

A friendly sacred space

Association with like-minded people is important for those willing to progress on the spiritual path. In order to facilitate this, there are various community groups and gatherings run by the Bhaktivedanta Manor community. There could be something right up your street. Have a look at the options available below and get in touch directly.

The word “sanga” denotes a gathering of like-minded people. In these monthly groups, individuals come together for an evening of meditation, spiritual discussion, vegetarian food and spiritual fun! It’s usually held at the house of a host, and the relaxed environment allows members to gradually enter into the Krishna conscious philosophy at their own pace. Different speakers enlighten the audience on various topics, drawing out teachings from the scriptures which we can apply in our daily lives.

Bhakti Vriksha

bv@krishnatemple.com

Bhakti Vriksha is an initiative aimed at building a spiritual family. It begins with weekly sessions where 10-15 individuals read passages from scripture, discuss the application in daily life, and share their experiences, inspirations and illuminations. Everything is conducted at different homes, allowing for a warm, inviting atmosphere where spirituality grows naturally. The informal atmosphere allows for open exchange, and close bonds quickly form.

Frequently asked questions

You can start your journey by hopping in to a series of taster sessions lasting up to 8-weeks (2 hours per week) and then review from there. Groups are limited to 20 people. If you’re interested, please email: bv@krishnatemple.com for more information.

Manor Mentorship

mentorship@krishnatemple.com

On the journey of life there are twists and turns, ditches and dead ends, obstacles and opposition. But as John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote, “I get by with a little help from my friends.” It’s a brave and bold step to strive for purity in a world of duplicity, to embrace simplicity amongst rampant materialism, and to cultivate selflessness in an atmosphere charged with exploitation. On that journey, we all require encouragement, support and the good advice of spiritual friends.

Feel like you’re interested in Krishna Consciousness, but you’re the only one in your town? It may feel like that sometimes, especially when you’re based in a town that is further away from the Manor or other major temples in the UK. However, it is very likely that there are practitioners of bhakti yoga in your town or nearby, and maybe even a regular group meeting taking place. Getting in touch and finding out might be a (spiritual) life saver!
