The Beatles had it right when they sang “the love you take is equal to the love you make”. Bhakti is about making more love—putting it out into the world, not just in principle but also in practice. One of the best known of the traditional practices of bhakti yoga is Kirtan—the devotional chanting of the names of God.

No matter what tradition you come from, chanting God’s name opens a process of healing and cleansing the heart. The Vedas say that there are as many names for God as there are waves on the ocean. We call him Krishna; Christians call him Jesus; Jews call him Yahweh; the Sufis call him Khuda. Whatever the case, let the beautiful name of the Lord remind you that you are more loved than you can even imagine.

About Govardhan Puja

Govardhan puja, one of the biggest festivals in this auspicious month of Kartik (October – November) is celebrated with great jubilation to commemorate the pastime of Lord Sri Krishna lifting the Govardhana Hill to protect the residents of Vrindavana from the wrath of Indra. The glories of Govardhan are endless and the importance of his worship was established by Krishna himself in the most amazing pastime. Girirāja Govardhana rested like a bee upon the lotus hand of Acyuta (Lord Shri Krishna) for seven days. He expertly serves Śrī Hari and Śrī Hari’s dear associates by providing them with fruits, roots, and caves. Devotees prepare varieties of foodstuffs with grain and ghee (like rice, dhal, halva, pakora, puri, etc.) and all kinds of milk preparations (such as sweet rice, rabri, sweet balls, sandesh, rasagulla and laddu). The food is stacked like a small hill and offered to the Lord. Then it is distributed to everyone as prasadam. Hence, this festival is also called Annakuta Festival.
“Of all the devotees, this Govardhan Hill is the best! O my friends, this hill supplies Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma, as well as Their calves, cows and cowherd friends, with all kinds of necessities – water for drinking, very soft grass, caves, fruits, flowers and vegetables. In this way the hill offers respect to the Lord. Being touched by the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma, Govardhan Hill appears very jubilant.”   (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 10.21.18)

Pious people keep awake the whole night and cook fifty-six (or 108) different types of food for the bhog (the offering of food) to Krishna. This ceremony is called annakut which means a mountain of food. Various types of food – sweets, cereals, pulses, fruit, vegetables, chutneys, pickles, and salads – are offered to the Lord Krishna and then distributed as prasada to devotees. If you wish to prepare some bhoga offering and participate in this auspicious ceremony……you are most welcome to do so.

Daily Nectar of Bhagavatam Online Study @ Online - Please Register for Details
Nov 8 @ 9:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Please contact berksbhaktiyoga@gmail.com for details and registration. It is Free, only price is the sincere and honest desire to go deeper in your spiritual inquisitiveness.

Srimad-Bhagavatam begins with the definition of the ultimate source. It is a bona fide commentary on the Vedanta-sutra and gradually it develops into nine cantos up to the highest state of God realization. The Bhagavatam is the postgraduate, post-Vedic text of spiritual understanding. It has served as the inspiration for countless works of literature, song, drama, painting, and sculpture. The 18,000-verse treatise centers on the science of God and devotion to Him, and includes biographies of great devotees who followed the path of Bhakti and attained Krishna

Known as “the ripened fruit of the tree of Vedic literature,” Srimad-Bhagavatam is the most complete and authoritative exposition of Vedic knowledge. Covering everything from the nature of the self to the origin of the universe, it touches upon all fields of knowledge.The first verse of Srimad-Bhagavatam makes clear that the book is intended for people serious about spiritual progress; it will not deal with sectarian religious ideas, philosophical conjecture, or worldly concerns. The second verse promises that anyone who reads the book systematically will achieve the spiritual success meant for all human beings.
