ISKCON Halifax

Bhak­ti­marga Swami begins by explain­ing some of the per­son­al­i­ties that devo­tees are named after, and then the big moment…

Hope you enjoy reliv­ing this moment again, or for the first time!

Hare Krishna!

Last Sun­day I was stand­ing in the park­ing lot at the Yoga Loft, lean­ing on our van and speak­ing to my dad. He was telling me he is happy that I am devot­ing myself to this monas­tic lifestyle.

I was find­ing it dif­fi­cult to focus on what he was say­ing after I heard a ris­ing kir­tan com­ing through the win­dow of the brick build­ing beside us. H.H. Bhak­ti­marga Swami was start­ing the post-lecture kir­tan, singing one of my favorite melodies. The col­lected voices of fifty guests sounded like a group of hun­dreds stuffed into the small room, and my atten­tion began to shift its focus.

This year our event­ful sum­mer cal­en­dar will be tak­ing all the res­i­dents of our ashram on a tour through­out Canada and across to India. There­fore, our reg­u­lar pro­grams will be post­poned from July, 2010 until our return in April, 2011.

That means that we have only two Sun­day gath­er­ings left: June 20th and June 27th. The last Sun­day of the month (June 27th), we will again have Bhak­ti­marga Swami as our spe­cial guest. For this event we will return to 5663 Corn­wal­lis Street so that we can have more space for chant­ing, danc­ing and veg­e­tar­ian feast­ing. There will also be a the­atre per­for­mance by the vis­it­ing Swami and his troup.
