Free Sunday Feast
Every Sunday is a celebration at an ISKCON temple. With delicious multi-course vegetarian meals, music, dance and spiritual discussion, the guests can experience the world’s oldest cultural tradition. The programme provides an opportunity to learn about the lifestyle and culture of those who practice Bhakti Yoga.
The Founder Acarya of the Hare Krishna Movement, Srila Prabhupada started the “Sunday Love Feast” in 1966. He would personally invite guests, cook entire meal. He would serve the devotees a variety of tasty Indian-vegetarian preparations. Along with the vegetarian feast, Srila Prabhupada would chant with the guests, dance and give a lecture on the ancient sacred text Bhagavad-Gita.
Since then, this is celebrated in all the Hare Krishna Temples around the world. We would like to invite you to our weekly Sunday Open House to an ISKCON centre near you, for a rich and vibrant experience that provides a flavour of Bhakti Yoga.
