New York Bhakti Center\u2019s Year in Review.
\nA YEAR OF GROWTH, STRENGTHENING, AND TRANSFORMATION!
\nThe Bhakti Center exists to provide a spiritual home for an ever-growing number of New Yorkers. Over this past year, our management, staff, and wider family applied themselves with increased determination to their spiritual practices (sadhana); invested in relationships with one another (sanga), and offered countless hours in heartfelt service (seva). The results are evident in the smiles that decorate the hundreds of faces that move up and down our staircases each day.
\n2018 has seen unprecedented growth in attendance for all of our programs\u2014most notably for kirtan, yoga and wisdom classes. Our community groups continue to be a bedrock of nourishment and have even sprouted up beyond Manhattan to homes in Brooklyn and New Jersey.
\nWith funds raised last year, we have upgraded long-neglected areas of the building like the reception and the back of the temple room. With the help of our community of friends and supporters, this year\u2019s fundraising efforts have brought us closer than ever to paying off our mortgage\u2014assuring the offering of the building in service for generations to come.
\nWe offer our heartfelt gratitude to you and request that you continue to join hands with us to help the Bhakti Center fulfill its highest potential. It\u2019s our firm belief that the path of progress shown by our teachers holds the key to true inner transformation, and our intention is that together we may continue to experience it and share it with New York City and the entire world.
\nGratefully in service,
\nVirabhadra Rama das Executive Director
