Bhagavad Gita class meets 6 to 7 pm every Tuesday in the temple library (aka Krishna Cove). We read together and discuss the Bhagavad Gita As It Is.
Srimad Bhagavatam advanced class
We meet in Krishna Cove from 6 to 7 pm every Wednesday to relish and take up the culture of Srimad Bhagavatam, with a deeper understanding of the pastimes and principles, and Vaisnava etiquette and relations.
“In the association of pure devotees, discussion of the pastimes and activities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is very pleasing and satisfying to the ear and the heart. By cultivating such knowledge one gradually becomes advanced on the path of liberation, and thereafter he is freed, and his attraction becomes fixed. Then real devotion and devotional service begin.” (SB 3.25.25)
Krishna Cove meets at 6:30 pm every Thursday to discuss the philosophy of Bhakti Yoga and to encourage individuals in their practices. Whether you're new to Bhakti Yoga, or have many years of experience, we invite everyone to come participate.
We begin with Kirtan musical meditation, followed by discussion on Bhakti Yoga, ending around 8:30 pm with a free vegetarian feast!
Krishna Cove is also streamed live on YouTube, and you can catch up on previous kirtans and discussions... see links on our News & Media page.
Join us for the "Yuga Dharma", the main spiritual activity recommended in the Ancient Vedic Scriptures for this age. We enthusiastically chant the Maha Mantra, dancing and singing on the streets of Tucson.
Please meet at the Temple at 6:30 pm to carpool or follow the caravan. We return to the Temple around 8:30 pm.
“My dear King, although Kali-yuga is full of faults, there is still one good quality about this age. It is that simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, one can become free from material bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kingdom.” (SB 12.3.51)
Join us in Govinda's Community Garden every Saturday all year round (spring, summer, fall 9:30 to 11:30 am, winter 12 noon to 2 pm) for tilling, planting, weeding, harvesting, and composting, in service for Krishna and the ashram community.
Please bring your water bottle and dress comfortably for outdoor weather, sun etc. You're also welcome to join us in the temple morning program or breakfast before, and/or stay for lunch afterward.
