About

Human society has made rapid progress in the field of material comforts, technology, education, and economic development throughout the entire world. Yet there remains a pinprick somewhere in the social body at large, and therefore there are quarrels amongst persons at various levels. In addition, pervasive problems with the environment and economy persist.  Naturally, everyone is searching for solutions to these predicaments.  However, in the words of Albert Einstein, we cannot solve problems with the same level of consciousness with which we created them.  The root cause is not a lack of education, insufficient resources, or a problem with the government: it is a deficient condition of consciousness.

Bhakti Yoga Club is a unique group on campus that seeks, through a shift in consciousness, to address the underlying cause of all the problems we see today.  By giving individuals the opportunity to experience culture from ancient India through a blend of Bhagavad Gita discussion groups, mantra mediation, speaker events, yoga asanas, and vegetarian cooking classes, Bhakti Yoga Club offers a solution on a spiritual level, leading to a wholesome and satisfying lifestyle.  Beyond offering a means to help students at the individual level, Bhakti Yoga Club provides an opportunity for thoughtful persons to meet with like-minded souls, often leading to lasting and fulfilling friendships.

We thank you all for making our maiden event a great success with many interested students who turned up and had a good time. Our session was missed by many interested students who hoped to be a part of it the next time. So here we are, back on demand, better than before!
What’s in it for you?
  • soul stirring music
  • Mantra meditation – proven to be the most effective and recommended highly by the best of sages from ancient India.
  • Enlivening talk on science, spirituality, the soul and beyond
  • Inquiry session (clear your inner questions and invoke the seeker in you with our interactive session conducted by a senior monk)
  • Karma-free food (Free food, you have heard of, but karma-free food nourishes not just the body but the soul too!)
  • Taste time-less recipes (some over a 1000 years old) and learn to make them in coming sessions.
  • Make friends with other seekers.
  • Learn how ancient practical principles can impact your life in a way more positive than anything else.
We are also pleased to inform you that we will very soon have a page on the university website that will help with registrations and help us stay connected with you better. More on that soon.
