BHAKTI VRIKSHA
Tree of Devotion
Details about the program
"Do you know what your real identity is? Are you seeking answers to the big questions of life? Would you like to find a real sense of purpose? Are you interested in connecting with everyone around you on a deeper level? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then Bhakti Vriksha might be exactly what you need."
Selected Classes will be conducted outdoor to connect back with nature, unwind and engage.
WHAT IS BHAKTI-VRIKSHA & IT’S PURPOSE
The Sanskrit words bhakti and vriksha mean “devotion” and “tree” respectively, so Bhakti Vriksha literally means “tree of devotion.” The Bhakti-vriksha Program is meant to enable everyone to practice, to grow, and to preach the process of bhakti-yoga. It is a Brahminical, Vaishnava effort, dealing with people’s hearts, minds and ultimately the SOUL.
A Bhakti-vriksha group is a small number of congregational devotes who meet every week to practice Krsna consciousness.

कलेर्दोषनिधे राजन्नस्ति ह्येको महान् गुण: ।
कीर्तनादेव कृष्णस्य मुक्तसङ्ग: परं व्रजेत् ॥ ५१ ॥

My dear King, although Kali-yuga is an ocean of faults, there is still one good quality about this age: Simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, one can become free from material bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kingdom.
