Srimad Bhagavatam for ALL is a program run by HG Arcanabhakti Mataji. Starting on January 4th, 2019, it has progressed gradually in many aspects.
What we do here - Here, we conduct Srimad Bhagavatam Classes in the morning and Caitanya Caritamrita classes in the evening. SB classes are conducted daily, while CC classes are Mon-Fri. On Saturday evenings, we also have Caitanya Bhagavata reading, where only the teacher reads, while in the SB and CC classes, participants take turns reading. For a clearer understanding, you may view the class recordings.
The program has faced several ups and downs but the classes have continued steadily. There is no payment required. The only cost is your regular attendance and participation as far as possible. If you wish to learn more, or want to join, send an email to the given address below and we will respond as soon as possible.
