Gangesvara Prabhu would like you to know that in order to accommodate the Teacher’s Training Course presented by Atul Krshna Prabhu, it is necessary to delay the Bhakti-vaibhava (1) Course that Gangesvara is facilitating.


The introductory class to Bhakti-vaibhava (1) will now be on Saturday the 27th of March, from 3pm to 6pm.

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.18.14 - Pay no attention to endless glitter of material energy. Continue your duties of devotional service and go back home, back to Godhead.

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.18.13 - The sannyasa order is a nice niche for serving Krsna.

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.18.11-12 - The austerities of vanaprastha life are like the light of a match compared to the fire of devotional service.

Length: 7:07

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.18.10 - The Srimad Bhagavtam is been called amala purana (pure ancient literature) since it has no influence of any of the modes of material nature.

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.18.6 - Following varnasrama-dharma is useless without worship of the Supreme Lord.

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.18.5-6 - Krishna manifests His purna-uttama rupa exclusively in Vrindavana.

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.18.1-4 - jnana (knowledge) and vairagya (renunciation) are not the anga (limbs) of Bhakti (devotional service) indeed bhakti itself creates jnana and vairagya.

We will celebrate Jayapataka Maharaja's Vyasa Puja on Friday March 26th. from 11am till 2pm.


Everyone is welcome to join us at the temple to honour His Holiness' life of service to Srila Prabhupada's mission.

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.17.55 - Just do bhakti.

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.17.54

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.17.53 - I am Krishna's and Krishna is mine.

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.17.52 - A householder taking care of many dependent family members should not become materially attached to them, nor should he become mentally unbalanced.

Class given on 21-02-2010
Srimad Bhagavatam 11.17.51 - The ideal grhastha has Krishna in the center of his household life.

Class given on 20-02-2010
Srimad Bhagavatam 11.17.48-50 - It is important to have a goal in Krishna consciousness.

Here is the detailed schedule for Atul Krishna Prabhu's March seminar series. I am linking you to a download of it here.

There may be some minor changes because we have not been invited to chant in the Moomba Parade this year. Bhakta says this year's organisers want to try 'something new': no Chinese Dragon and no Hare Krishnas. What do they say? Absence makes the heart grow fonder? However, there is a chance we will do Harinama Sankirtana after the Parade.
