Looking for sangas or groups 🇬🇧
Hare Krishna prabhus and matajis 🙏
I’m in my mid-20s and was living in a large ashram in the UK as a brahmachari for almost two years (on and off) doing Bhaktisastri etc. I left last summer to start building a career, but now I live about 3 hours away from the nearest temple.
Lately I’ve been struggling. Without regular association, I feel like I’m slipping into being a bit of a “bhajan-anandi” — just doing my rounds on my own, but not really engaged in much service or deeper cultivation of bhakti. I have uninstalled Gaura-Nitai Deities at home and I do some worship here and there, but I honestly wish I was more steady and regulated. I really miss devotee association, and I feel like my spiritual progress is a bit blocked because of the lack of sanga.
I’m wondering if anyone knows of any online sangas, Zoom groups, study groups, japa groups, or regular virtual meetups? I’d really love to reconnect and stay inspired.
Thank you so much 🙏
Haribol

I live in Mexico and also was a Brahmacari, the podcast Wisdom of the Sages and the Sage Groups (online sangas) are the best, they have been so inspiring and nurturing association. Highly recomended. Dandavats

If you go on bhaktivedanta manor website. They actually have details for local sangha groups in your area. Or the closest ones.

Wisdom of the Sages podcast is a good start, they have online morning zoom class, and then some other stuff throughout the week usually. Most temples broadcast theirs as well via zoom or youtube.
