Welcome...

Many people would like to have some association with like-minded spiritualists. Through the internet, a lot of information about the Vrinda family is available. You can listen to classes, and find out about the most diverse activities of those who have gained inspiration from the message of the Vrinda family. 

What is this message? The message is to be responsible for everything we do in life, because this life is not the only life, and in this life we reap the reactions of previous lifetimes, and by our current activities, we are sowing the seeds for our next lifetime. By the process of bhakti yoga, and through the preparation of the inbound yoga system, one can reach the level of self realization and learn to call upon the Lord in a pure state of mind.

This achievement can finish the cycle of repeated birth and death, and can help you to reach the eternal dominion, where every aspiration finds fulfillment. Unfortunately, not everybody has the fortune of living in the close vicinity of a center of the Vrinda family, but they may still have a desire to gain such association. For them, there are several steps they can take to start a Vrinda gathering in their own home.

Such a home should be a place where the organizers follow a vegetarian lifestyle, which they also like to share with the visitors. Those who invite others to their home for reading books like the Bhagavad Gita As It Is, and for chanting the sacred mantras should at least be aspiring devotees for initiation into the Vrinda family. To qualify for such an initiation, they should have an ideal lifestyle of living without any type of intoxication, being celibate or faithful to their marital partner, plus being free from the vice of gambling. 

They should also chant the holy name of the Lord “Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare,” which translates into “Oh my Lord, please let me be an instrument of your love,” at least twenty minutes a day. 

They should also learn how to offer their food so that they can distribute prasadam when visitors are coming. They should equip themselves with some books and videos from the spiritual master of Vrinda, so that they can show their new friends about who is inspiring these gatherings.

The standard gathering should start with some chanting, some reading of the books, watching a video of a class of Vrinda’s founder, some questions and answers, so that the visitors may be more informed about the Vrinda family, and finally the distribution of prasadam, which is the vegetarian food that was offered with love.

This is a simple procedure one should follow if one wants to create a devotional atmosphere in his or her locality. You can register such a place with the secretary of Vrinda, vrinda@mac.com, and if such programs are happening on a regular basis, either monthly or weekly, the persons conducting this program would e invited to take initiation and the program will be presented as an officially affiliated gathering place for the Vrinda family.
