What do we do in the Krishnashraya Program?

If you are new to this program you will attend what is called a Sankirtana Meeting. We sing songs glorifying Krishna (remember to bring your own musical instruments if you are trained in playing them) discuss Krishna philosophy & end the meeting with sumptuous prasadam distributed to all. This is how Srila Prabhupada started his movement. Sankirtana, Prasadam and Bhagavatam: the transcendental principle that led to the success of the Hare Krishna Movement. And once you understand the basic principles, you can attend the Satsanga Meeting, where we read, discuss, understand and apply the principles of Krishna consciousness as explained in Srila Prabhupada’s books.

How the Krishnashraya Program Works?

The Krishnashraya Program is powered by a well-managed organizational structure and training mechanism that empowers the program coordinators to conduct the meetings. The members of the Krishnashraya cells can grow spiritually and take up various levels of commitments and improve their spiritual practices through Srila Prabhupada Ashraya Program.
