After a whole week of bodily & mentally tiring work, why not use your Sundays to refresh yourself by bathing in Vedic spiritual wisdom and recreation? After that, a tasty and healthy prasad feast will be served.

“One should associate with devotees, chant the holy name of the Lord, hear Srimad Bhagavatam, reside at Mathura and worship the Deity with faith and veneration.” (Caitanya Caritamrita. Madhya-lila 22.128)
The Sunday ‘Love Feasts’ go back to the very beginning of Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON period, which began in the mid-1960’s. He introduced this weekly festival as part of his overall preaching program.
The Founder Acarya of the Hare Krishna Movement, Srila Prabhupada started the “Sunday Love Feast” in 1965. He would personally invite guests, and cook the entire meal. He would serve the devotees a variety of tasty Indian-vegetarian preparations. Along with the vegetarian feast, Srila Prabhupada would sing the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra with the guests, dance and give a lecture on Bhagavad-gita.
Since then, this weekly Sunday Love Feast Festival is celebrated in all the ISKCON Temples around the world. It has evolved as an integrated celebration of Lord Krishna’s pastimes: chanting, hearing spiritual knowledge, dancing, eating, fellowship and generally sharing the bliss of God’s presence. Anyone can come regardless of beliefs as we welcome all into an experience of Love.
We invite you to our Sunday ‘Love Feast’. Every Sunday, spiritual-seekers gather for a culturally rich and vibrant experience of traditional spiritual culture which provides a flavor of Bhakti yoga – the yoga of love! Festivities kick off with kirtan (musical mantra mediation) and continue with more chanting, drumming, a spiritual discourse and a free vegetarian feast served to all attendees!
Please visit our temple From 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM, every Sunday!
