🌟The Kartik season is so beautiful! It just begs us to go within and deepen our love for the Lord.💫 Join us tomorrow at Bhakti Garden to share in the nectar and vibes with Venkata Bhatta. 🎉

Venkata Bhatta Das (Dr. Vineet Chander) grew up in New York City and discovered Krishna Bhakti in his youth. A student of His Holiness Radhanath Swami for over two decades, he is a respected speaker known for blending timeless wisdom with modern life.

Join us this Friday for a very special evening of chanting and connections with Keshavacharya das. Bring your friends and family to soak up the blissful energies of the evening and enjoy a delicious vegetarian meal afterwards.

Keshavacharya, part of the duo Prema Hara, is devoted to the sacred practice of kirtan. Deeply rooted in the bhakti tradition, his path is one of love and devotion, where every song becomes an offering to the Divine Beloved.

Kirtan is far more than music — it is a living prayer, a bridge between the human heart and the eternal Artist of the universe. For over two decades, Keshavacharya has carried this sacred practice across the world, sharing it as a medicine of joy, healing, and remembrance. Through the chanting of the holy names, he invites all who gather to rest in the sweetness of devotion, to dissolve into the collective vibration of love, and to touch the stillness and beauty within.

His vision is simple yet profound: to create spaces where voices unite, hearts open, and souls remember their eternal connection to the Supreme. He believes that kirtan is a gift for all beings — a balm for the restless mind, nourishment for the yearning heart, and light for those walking the spiritual path.

Krishna’s Song of Love
A reading group with Haryasva Das 📖
This is the updated schedule!

The Bhagavad-gita is more than a scripture—it’s a love letter from the Divine. A guide to yoga of the heart, a journey into consciousness, a reminder of purpose, and a gentle call to live in harmony with our soul’s truth 🪷

Come sit with us—in person or on Zoom—and read, reflect, and reconnect with the voice of love within 🙏
