Description

Welcome to Bhakti Night- an evening dedicated to the wisdom and practice of bhakti-yoga.

The evening begins with a soul-stirring kirtan, a musical form of meditation, where the air will resonate with melodious chants and the rhythmic beats of traditional instruments. As the sweet sound vibrations fill the room, you'll find your heart opening up, and any stress or worries gently dissipate, replaced by a profound sense of peace and contentment. The kirtan is followed by a talk on teachings from the ancient yoga tradition which is always thought provoking and even entertaining!

As the night draws to a close, we'll conclude with a delightful vegetarian dinner. Savor the sanctified dishes, lovingly prepared with devotion, and experience how food can be an offering of love and nourishment for the soul.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious newcomer, this program promises an evening filled with spiritual bliss and inner harmony. We look forward to sharing this wonderful journey of devotion with you!

This Week's Description

Join us for a special 2 hour Bhakti Night as we explore the profound wisdom of generosity through song, discussion, and community service. Drawing inspiration from Vedic scriptures, this evening will cultivate a spirit of compassion in our hearts and inspire us to find joy in selfless giving.

The night will begin with a contemplative session on the philosophy of dāna (giving) in the Vedic tradition. Through stories and teachings, we'll reflect on the inner peace and fulfillment that arises when we give without expectation. The session will focus on the following three primary lessons:

1. Learning the art of giving from Vedic scriptures.
2. Cultivating a spirit of generosity and compassion through meaningful acts of giving.
3. Fostering a sense of community and happiness by sharing resources and kindness with others.
