Venkata Bhatta Das (Dr. Vineet Chander) was born and raised in New York City and discovered the path of Krishna Bhakti in his youth, initially through the devotional community called New Vrindaban. An initiated student of His Holiness Radhanath Swami for more than two decades, he is now a sought-after speaker and teacher in his own right. He is particularly known for his ability to infuse ancient wisdom with relevant examples and avenues for application. He has offered classes and seminars in several temples, ashrams, yoga studios, and online platforms. In his professional life, Venkata is an Assistant Dean of Religious Life at Princeton University and serves as the institution's Hindu Chaplain. His writing has appeared in several publications, and he is co-author of two academic volumes on Hinduism and spiritual care. He earned his JD (law degree) from the George Washington University Law School, his MA in religion from Rutgers University (where his advisor was Professor Edwin Bryant), and his doctorate from New York University. Venkata and his wife, Krsangi Devi Dasi, were among the handful of pioneering community members who, in the early 2000s, came together to found the Bhakti Center in NYC. They have served the project in various roles, including as pujaris (temple priests), educators, mentors, and community group leaders. Venkata served as a board member of the Bhakti Center for five years.

Gaur Das Maharaj delves into the divine love story between Shri Krishna and Radha Rani, unraveling the profound secrets of Krishna Bhakti.

When life handed me an unexpected journey into fatherhood, it redefined my understanding of love and purpose. It's these profound shifts in identity and the pursuit of self-realisation that I discuss with Melvyn, the visionary behind the Mind Body Spirit Festivals and a mentor at Living Meditation. Together, we traverse the terrain of spirituality, how it intertwines with the roles we play, and the importance of finding a path that reflects our deepest values. Melvyn shares his transition to Krishna Bhakti and we consider how spiritual mentorship can illuminate the quest for a fulfilled life. The vibrancy of spirituality doesn't just resonate in quiet meditation rooms; it's in the laughter of our children and the wisdom of our daily routines. In a heartwarming exchange, we reflect on the evolution of parenting and spirituality across generations, sharing personal stories that highlight the power of surpassing past conditioning. We examine the beauty of diversity in spiritual practices and how they can cultivate a deeper connection with the divine, within the context of our modern world. Join us as we explore the ebbs and flows of life, the search for authenticity in spirituality, and the service of sharing those revelations with others.

A talk on 2 Peter 1:21 from the Krishna Bhakti perspective

How do the teachings of Krishna Bhakti help us build community in the different parts of our lives? Join us to explore this question.
Today we'll explore how the four principles that Krishna Bhakti devotees follow are not just moral principles, but also principles of cognition.
