True religion is not talk, or doctrines, or theories, nor is it sectarianism. It is the relation between soul and God. Religion does not consist in erecting temples, or building churches, or attending public worship. It is not to be found in books, or in words, or in lectures, or in organizations. Religion consists in realization. We must realize God, feel God, see God, talk to God. That is religion.

Sri Krishna Janmashtami celebration on Thursday, 7th September 2023
Dear Devotees and friends,
We are celebrating Sri Krishna Janmashtami on 7th September 2023, Thursday.
To register to visit,
please click here.
In the month of December 2022, Rev Swami Sridharananda ji contracted COVID. Although he has come out of COVID, the heavy medication and post-covid effects have left him very weak. He is recuperating slowly.
At present we hope / estimate that he will resume his Gita classes again by October 2023.
Keeping in mind the high age group category of the devotees and friends who visit the centre, we recommend that you wear a mask when you visit the centre. Many thanks.
Quote for the day
Vedanta
Vedanta is based on the Vedas - one of the most sacred and ancient scriptures of the Hindus. It is a system of philosophy which is based on the idea that all reality is a single principle, Brahman (God), and teaches that the believer's goal is to transcend the limitations of self-identity and realize one's unity with Brahman. It is not based on the life and teachings of any one particular saint or prophet. It is a federation of faiths and a commonwealth of spiritual concepts.
Harmony of Religions
Every religion teaches man to fill his being with the glory of God and to transcend pettiness and selfishness. It trains him in the methods of unattachment and discernment, so that he may aim high and attain spiritual perfection.
