The temple program is designed to help everyone stay connected with Krishna throughout the day. It usually starts early in the morning with Mangala Aarti, a beautiful ceremony where devotees offer prayers and sing to wake up the Deities. After that, there is japa meditation, where everyone chants the Hare Krishna mantra on their beads for personal connection with the Lord. Then comes Guru-puja, a special offering of gratitude to the spiritual master, followed by the Srimad Bhagavatam class, where we discuss spiritual knowledge from the scriptures.
Later in the day, there are more aarti ceremonies, including the Raj Bhoga Aarti around midday when a big offering of food is made to the Deities. The temple also has kirtan sessions, where everyone sings together with musical instruments, creating an uplifting and joyful atmosphere. In the evening, there is Gaura Aarti, another beautiful worship ceremony, often followed by discussions or readings from sacred texts.
On festival days, the temple is even more lively, with special kirtans, dramas, and feasts where prasadam (sanctified food) is distributed to everyone. No matter when you visit, there is always an opportunity to participate, sing, pray, and connect with Krishna in a loving and joyful way.
