A Full Day of Appreciating the Bhagavad-Gita!
Whether sitting in a class and hearing a reference to a verse from the Gita, or perhaps finally grabbing the sacred book off of our bookshelves at home to finger through some spiritual pearls of wisdom, any time spent with the Bhagavad-gita can illuminate the mind and stimulate the soul. On Saturday, November 28th, devotees gathered at Toronto’s Hare Krishna …
Gita Jayanti Celebrations this Saturday!
Over five thousand years ago, Lord Krishna spoke the Bhagavad-gita to Arjuna, discussing the fundamental principles of life. The Gita lucidly explains the nature of consciousness, the self and the universe. It contains both the essence of India’s spiritual wisdom and the answers to questions that have been posed by philosophers for centuries. Today, that same Bhagavad-gita has been translated …

Beautiful Damodarastakam!
As many of our regular temple-goers know, during this month of Kartik, we have been singing the Damodarastakam prayers during every Sunday “Love” Feast and festival at the temple. During the Damodarastakam, we have projected the words on a screen, accompanied by some very simple and smooth animations of classic ISKCON (BBT) artwork. We thought blog-visitors (and YouTubers) would appreciate …
Govardhana Puja Celebrations take ISKCON Toronto by “Storm”!
Toronto’s Hare Krishna temple simply loves festivals! That’s it. There’s no need to elaborate with long descriptions (aside, of course, from this blog post). All one would need to do is stand outside our grand limestone building at 243 Avenue Road at the right time every few weeks and the thundering sound of kirtan, drums, and utter jubilation that would …
