University Programs

Several brahmacaris (monks) grace college campuses in and around New York City to share the benefits of Krishna consciousness with society's up-and-coming leaders. With crowds upto 120 students per week, students in cooking classes have a unique opportunity to learn delectable vegetarian and karma free cooking from some highly spiritual chefs. Additionally, Bhagavad-gita study groups provide the intellectual and philosophical stimulation many college students relish. Special, guest lectureres are also known to show up from time to time.

Seminars

Knowledge and Bhakti must go hand in hand in order to make steady spiritual progress. The community at 26 Second Avenue has been truly blessed with a stream of seminars by deeply learned Vaishnavas.

Bhaktivedanta Ashram

Located in a Lower Eastside apartment, the Bhaktivedanta Ashram offers physical and spiritual shelter to the serious teachers and practitioners of Krishna Consciousness in New York City. The Ashram is headed by the veteran devotee, Yajna Purusha das, who is the Temple President of 26 Second Avenue and manages the ongoing outreach engagements of Ashram residents.

If you would like more information on the Bhaktivedanta Ashram, contact Yajna Purusha das at (212) 982-1819.

Harinam

harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam
kalau nasty eva nasty eva nasty eva gatir anyatha

"In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy, the only means of deliverance is the chanting of the holy names of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way."
