Book Club

Join us from anywhere on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. in-person or via Zoom. It doesn't matter where we are in our current book or reading—new attendees are always welcome! Read, reflect, and discuss with us. We've picked engaging books from the Bhakti tradition that delineate the rich philosophy behind Bhakti Yoga and also show what Bhakti Yoga looks like in practice. Learn about the self (soul or jiva), consciousness, the Supreme (our source), as well as this material world and how to transcend it.

Children School

If you have kids (ages 4-15 years old) and want to instill them with higher, spiritual values and encourage them to develop lasting friendships in a spiritual atmosphere, then look no further than our Children's School (SandipaniMuni School). Right now, our teachers meet with the schoolchildren every Saturday at 11 a.m., in person. The spiritual curriculum we use is an official one developed by ISKCON. Your children will learn helpful life lessons from the Gita, memorize appropriate Gita verses, participate in dramas and kirtans for festivals such as Sri Krishna Janmashtami and Sri Gaura Purnima, and also connect to a group of friends who will positively influence them during their formative years.

Bhagavad Gita Sessions

Join us every week on Zoom as we hear a philosophical and enlightening talk based on the insightful verses of the Bhagavad-gita. Bring your deepest philosophical questions with you. The Gita is the fundamental, nonsectarian text of the Bhakti Yogis, delineating the basics (and beyond) of spiritual life in an accessible way. In the process of learning about spiritual life, you'll see how the Gita touches on every aspect of existence in the form of its five main topics: the complete science of the self (us, the individual souls); the nature of Divinity (our Supreme Source); the nature of the material world (this world we find ourselves in); the characteristics of karma (the intricacies of action and reaction); and the nature of time / the progression of material events and existence taken as a whole.

Volunteering Opportunity

Are you interested in using your talents to help with a spiritual cause? At ISKCON of Richmond, we have many ways for you to get involved.

​

If you enjoy working outdoors, we could use help with gardening, mowing, raking leaves, or other outdoor tasks at our new temple.

 

If you prefer indoor activities, there are plenty of opportunities as well. You might help by donating flowers, bringing fruit for the Saturday programs, or assisting with tasks on festival days like Sri Krishna Janmashtami, such as decorating, cleaning, or distributing prasadam (sanctified food).

​

If you have any other ideas on how you’d like to contribute, please get in touch with us. We’d be happy to discuss how you can help!

Musical Mantra Nights

Come join us for a festive evening of uplifting music in the form of a mantra! Bring your tabla or mridanga, play our kartals, harmonium, or shakers. Sing if you want, just listen if you want. It's up to you. You'll feel the benefits of mantra chanting just by being in the room. The potency of mantra meditation (spiritual sound vibration) on brain activity is well-documented in neuroscience. Research continues, but studies have so far concluded what dedicated yogis who chant mantras experience every day -- namely, that mantra (mana = "the mind" and "tra" = that which delivers / frees) meditation has the ability to induce calmness and mental equilibrium, as well as to free our consciousness from the mundane/material and connect us to Divinity, our Supreme Source. Come to our musical mantra nights and experience spiritual connection for yourself!
