Hare Krishna!

Over the past year, participating in the reading calls organized by dedicated temple devotees has been a truly transformative experience. Devotees explain the timeless wisdom of our scriptures in such a clear, relatable, and practical manner.

These sessions became especially meaningful during one of the most difficult times in my life—when my mother departed from this material world. In that moment of deep loss, the knowledge I had received from Bhagavad Gita, along with the unwavering support of the devotee community, gave me the inner strength and clarity to face the situation with a spiritual perspective. The teachings I had studied were no longer just philosophical ideas—they became a real source of comfort, guidance, and peace.

I clearly remember one powerful realization from class: how the soul, at the time of death, expects prayers and remembrance rather than sorrowful crying. This understanding helped shift my mindset and brought a sense of sacredness to my mother’s departure. Instead of grief overwhelming me, I was guided by a sense of duty—to pray, to remember Krishna, chant the Hare Krishna Mahamantra and to support her soul’s onward journey.

The story of King Puranjana from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam also gave me a vivid understanding of how the souls travels.
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of this spiritually enriching community and for the chance to grow under the compassionate and insightful guidance of temple devotees. These teachings didn’t just stay in books—they came alive in my life when I needed them most.

I strongly encourage everyone to visit and become part of this temple family.

Don’t get scared of spirituality. It’s what we all need – this life or next!
