The Absolute Truth
Drop in any morning between 8 and 10 for an uplifting Srimad-Bhagavatam reading at the temple. Guided by a senior member of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust and held in the divine presence of Sri Sri Gandharvika-Giridhari and Srila Prabhupada, we explore the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavatam through his illuminating commentaries in a relaxed, interactive Q&A setting. Pure magic. Afterward, stay for a delicious vegetarian breakfast at 10 am; all free, with no fees and no obligations. Just come, listen, and be inspired.
It's October 2025, and we're in Canto 10, Chapter 12.
The Killing of the Demon Aghasura
Text 5
“Although all these boys were already decorated by their mothers with ornaments of kaca, gunja, pearls and gold, when they went into the forest they further decorated themselves with fruits, green leaves, bunches of flowers, peacock feathers and soft minerals.”
If the African boys in these photos, adorned with plants, fruits, and natural pigments, look so beautiful, just imagine how wondrous Krishna and the cowherd boys must have appeared 5,000 years ago, decorating themselves in similar ways.

Krishna cherishes our gifts
Please don't bring prepared or processed food.
According to Vedic texts and the principles of Bhakti-Yoga, giving gifts to Krishna, also known as offering seva (service) or bhoga (devotional offerings), yields highly spiritual benefits:
- Purification of Intentions: Offering gifts to Krishna helps purify one's intentions and motives by shifting the focus from material desires to spiritual devotion and service.
- Expression of Gratitude: Offering gifts is considered an expression of gratitude towards Krishna's blessings and benevolence in one's life.
- Development of Devotion: Engaging in the act of giving gifts fosters a deeper sense of devotion and attachment to Lord Krishna, strengthening the devotee's relationship with the Divine.
- Spiritual Progression: Offering gifts to Krishna accelerates one's spiritual progression.
- Karma-Yoga: Giving gifts to Krishna is an act of Karma-Yoga, selfless action performed without attachment to the results, which helps in the purification of karma and liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
- Elevation of Consciousness: Through the act of offering gifts, one's consciousness becomes elevated as the mind becomes absorbed in thoughts of Lord Krishna, leading to inner peace and spiritual fulfilment.
- Blessings and Protection: By offering gifts to Lord Krishna, devotees receive the Lord's blessings, protection, and guidance in navigating life's challenges and obstacles.
Overall, giving gifts to Krishna is a powerful means of deepening our spiritual connection with the Supreme and progressing on the path of divine love and devotion.
