LIFE TOGETHER
Bhakti grows in relationship.
A community where people come together to explore bhakti-yoga, discover their relationship with Krishna, develop a spiritual practice, build genuine friendships, and learn how bhakti can become part of everyday life.
What is Bhakti-Yoga?
Bhakti-yoga is a spiritual path centered on developing our relationship with Krishna, whom the Bhagavad-gītā describes as the Supreme Person.
It begins with some of life's deepest questions: Who am I? Who is God? What is our relationship? And how can spiritual life become part of everyday living?
Through learning, prayer, kirtan, service, and friendship with others on the spiritual path, we begin to understand and develop that relationship.
Bhakti is more than a philosophy to study. It is a way of living in which love for Krishna gradually becomes the center of our lives.

Understanding Houses and Groves
A Grove is a small local community where people come together regularly to learn about Krishna, experience kirtan, develop their spiritual practice, share meals, and build lasting friendships.
A House connects and supports the Groves within a region. It helps communities develop, supports those who organize gatherings, and encourages new Groves to form.
Together, Houses and Groves make up Bhakti Network.
The purpose is to make spiritual community accessible in everyday life, allowing people to develop meaningful relationships with others who are exploring and practicing bhakti.
BEGINNING IN UTAH
A community for practicing bhakti close to home.
The first House begins in Utah, supporting local Groves where people can gather regularly for kirtan, learn about Krishna and bhakti-yoga, share vegetarian meals, build friendships, and serve together.
The same structure can grow naturally as communities form in other places.
Each Grove provides an opportunity to explore spiritual life in a welcoming setting, whether you're completely new to bhakti or have been practicing Krishna consciousness for many years.

THE PATH OF BHAKTI
What Is Krishna Consciousness?
Krishna consciousness means becoming conscious of Krishna—remembering our relationship with Him and learning to live in that relationship.
The teachings of bhakti explain that we are spiritual beings whose deepest fulfillment comes through developing our natural love for Krishna.
Through bhakti-yoga, we gradually awaken that love by learning about Krishna, remembering Him, offering our activities in service, and making spiritual practice part of everyday life.
Krishna consciousness is therefore both a way of understanding who we are and a way of living.
It can begin with something as simple as hearing about Krishna, attending a kirtan, reading the Bhagavad-gītā, or spending time with people who are practicing bhakti.
Over time, those beginnings can develop into a deeper spiritual life.
OUR SPIRITUAL ROOTS
A Living Tradition of Bhakti
Bhakti Network is rooted in the teachings of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, an Indian spiritual teacher who came to the United States in 1965 to share Krishna consciousness and bhakti-yoga.
In 1966, he founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), widely known as the Hare Krishna movement.
Through his translations, commentaries, and teachings on the Bhagavad-gītā and other sacred texts, he introduced people around the world to the practice of Krishna consciousness.
Bhakti Network seeks to help people encounter and practice these teachings through small, welcoming communities where spiritual learning, friendship, service, and everyday life come together.
The Network is intended to strengthen spiritual community and connection, working alongside established temples and communities rather than replacing them.
