Bhagavat Sravana

Bhagavat-sravana is a weekly immersion for Bhakti enthusiasts who desire to commune with the sacred texts of the tradition. Together, we are led through a reading and discussion of the writings of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada including Srimad Bhagavatam, Sri Caitanya Caritamrta and other important texts. Throughout the year we group the classes around themes. It’s a simple and informal way to deepen one’s learning of Bhakti-yoga wisdom in a group setting.

Elements of the program include:

Thursday Night Kirtan

Kirtan has always been the heartbeat of the Bhakti Center and our community. Prior to the pandemic, regular kirtans gave us the opportunity to express our hearts in a devotional manner through music and mantra as well as create a space of connection for the city’s Bhakti practitioners. While we have taken every precaution over the past year to respond in a responsible manner to the current COVID-19 situation, to spend so long without being able to come together and share this sacred practice has been a great challenge.

This program aims to explore various concepts presented in Bhagavad Gita and analyze them using specific case studies mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam. Reading inspiring stories and deriving valuable lessons from these will be the major activity in these sessions. Also, it aims to connect these concepts to daily metropolitan life, giving one the much needed joy and guidance that we are all seeking for.

We will be addressing the tricky statements like “Spirituality is only for Non-Performers, if divinity exists why is there so much chaos?” and approaching them from the perspective of Srimad Bhagavatam. The program will be taught by teachers who are long time students of Srimad Bhagavatam and have experience working in the corporate world.

Every week there will be mantra meditation, followed by discussion, and questions and answers. Seekers of Spirituality will find their answers along with new realizations in these weekly learning sessions.

About

The third floor of The Bhakti Center is the home of the beautiful Temple of Sri Sri Radha Muralidhara – (Radha & Krishna – the Divine feminine and masculine). Here devotion is expressed through meditative rituals that have been carefully preserved for centuries, handed down in a lineage of the great saints and teachers of the bhakti-yoga tradition.

Time here can be a deeply refreshing and pleasing way to leave the day’s troubles behind and reconnect with your own spiritual nature. The Temple’s atmosphere can leave deep, positive impressions – both aesthetically gratifying and spiritually purifying to the mind and heart. Spend quiet time here alone, or come for gatherings and festivals.
