If you’ve never been to a kirtan, here’s the idea. Kirtan is call-and-response chanting to the Maha Mantras, sung together with instruments. Many devotees find it calming, a bit like meditation, but shared and joyful.

At the heart of it is a simple practice: repeating the names of God. In our Vedic tradition, sound is sacred, and these ancient names carry a spiritual presence and chanting them is a direct and accessible way to feel connected to Krsna.

Come with an open mind, bring a friend or the family, stay for as long or as little as you like, and enjoy a delicious meal with a friendly community afterwards.

Hare Krishna,

What a beautiful day we shared this saturday at our very first Roots and Rasa sanga with Vraja Bihari Prabhu.

We learnt how we should focus on auspiciousness and not happiness (which is always fleeting). In the second seminar we learnt how to appreciate devotees and see divinity in their character - so powerful!

Thank you to each of you who gave your time and heart to make it happen.

Our thanks to:

Host - Chakradhari prabhu, Raja Laskmi mataji and family for opening your home so generously

Garlands Neha and Kaveeta

Cooks - Amazing Ekadashi prasadam lunch and dinner - Nandapriya, Sunita, Chirag, Sunandini, Madhurima, Nityasri, Sarasvati, Krishna Soni, Nityaseva, Divya, Shushil, Sejal, Hemarupini and Rajlakshmi

Sound - Dev and Saraswati

And to Vraja Bihari Prabhu for his wonderful association and guidance.

This is only the beginning.
Hare Krishna

Lord Jagannath came out to meet us again! The 2026 Ratha Yatra was a grand success.

New route. 3000 plates of prasadam. Countless darshans. Pure joy.

"May Lord Jagannath, the Lord of the universe, become the constant object of my vision."

Jai Jagannath! 🙏
