While we have all become accustomed to seeing the typical images that are conjured up when we think of yoga, it can be an heart-opening experience to learn of bhakti-yoga – the yoga of love. 


We invite you to come and dive into an evening full of divine chants as you learn more about the ancient teachings of the yoga of the heart. The premise of the “Evening of Bhakti” is to hold a spiritually-soaked event for you. Whether you are completely new to the concept of bhakti-yoga or a seasoned veteran, you can expect an incredible evening of chanting, wisdom, dancing and more, followed by a vegan dinner. 


With special guest speaker B.B. Bhagavat Swami and hosted at beautiful Govinda’s Dining Hall in Toronto’s historic Hare Krishna Centre, we warmly invite your for an evening that will feed the mind, body and soul!
