Afterwards, we honor prasadam (sanctified food offered to Lord Krishna). This worship program, as established by Srila Prabhupada over 35 years ago, includes the five primary devotional processes recommended by Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. sadhu-sanga, nama-kirtana, bhagavata-sravana mathura-vasa, sri-murtira sraddhaya sevana “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 Service starts punctually at 4:30 PM every Sunday, and continues until 6:30 PM. There is also a later arati at 8:30 PM, the final worship for the day, which you are welcome to attend. Wednesday Evening Service 6:30 P.M. This mid-week spiritual revitalization is a more concise version of our Sunday Feast, and consists of devotional songs, Bhagavad Gita discourse, arati and kirtana, and prasadam (sanctified food offered to Lord Krishna). This worship program, as established by Srila Prabhupada, includes the nine devotional processes recommended in the scriptures. The Wednesday Feast starts punctually at 6:30 PM every Wednesday, and continues until 7:30 PM. There is also an arati at 8:30 PM, the final worship for the day, which you are welcome to attend.

Join an intimate group of devotees chanting informally before Their Lordships in the Temple room every Friday evening. Friday Night Kirtana starts punctually at 6:00 PM every Friday, and extends until 9:00 PM. Friday Night Kirtana includes the 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM aratis.

At 7:30, we recommence our morning worship with Guru puja, Deity Greeting, and Srimad Bhagavatam class. This worship program, as established by Srila Prabhupada, includes the nine devotional processes recommended in the scriptures, and therefore confers the full blessings of Lord Krishna upon all participants. As stated in the Srimad Bhagavatam, sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam pada-sevanam arcanam vandanam dasyam sakhyam atma-nivedanam iti pumsarpita visnau bhaktis cen nava-laksana kriyeta bhagavaty addha tan manye 'dhitam uttamam "Prahlada Maharaja said: Hearing and chanting about the transcendental holy name, form, qualities, paraphernalia and pastimes of Lord Visnu, remembering them, serving the lotus feet of the Lord, offering the Lord respectful worship with sixteen types of paraphernalia, offering prayers to the Lord, becoming His servant, considering the Lord one's best friend, and surrendering everything unto Him (in other words, serving Him with the body, mind and words) These nine processes are accepted as pure devotional service. One who has dedicated his life to the service of Krsna through these nine methods should be understood to be the most learned person, for he has acquired complete knowledge." (Srimad Bhagavatam 7.5.23-24) Mangala Arati starts punctually at 5:00 AM every morning. You are welcome to attend the full program, or you may join us for Guru Puja at 7:30 AM, Deity Greeting at 7:45 AM, or Srimad Bhagavatam class at 8:00 AM.
