New Member Class
A temple is the focus of spiritual life for those who gather there
regularly. Over time the community becomes a spiritual family, which
is very much like a family bound by birth and marriage except that all
the relationships are based on worship together and mutual spiritual
goals. Together we walk the path to God.
In the Vedic culture, a community of worship is called a sangham.
In it we share uplifting association with fellow seekers and devotees.
A person can always chant mantras or study scriptures on their own, but
the same scriptures advise joining a sangham in order to advance
quickly and enter the spiritual realms, what we call Krishna
Consciousness.
Whether you live here or at a distance, we at the Sri Sri Radha
Krishna Temple invite new members to join our active spiritual family.
There is a New Member Meeting every month, in
which our Temple Priest, Caru das, presents the benefits to your
spiritual life of joining a family centered on the Lord of Lords, Sri
Krishna.
And the benefits are many. Members may attend a weekly scriptural
study called Krishna Philosophy facilitated by Caru
das, an in-depth discussion of selected scriptural readings as they
apply to our daily lives. Here, members can talk about their deepest
life questions and issues, to which Caru das provides a scriptural
context and 40 years of devotion to Sri Krishna. Other benefits
include greater access to our temple leaders for lifestyle and practice
guidance, attendance at our daily Arati ceremonies and Krishna
Lifestyle 101 class, opportunities for transformational service and the
development of a personal ministry.
It's a rare opportunity to bridge the material world and the
spiritual world. Plus, quite simply, we have a great group here!
Consider joining us.
