Welcome...
...to bhakti yogathe Canadian branch of the Sri Chaitanya Saraswath Math. srila bs govinda maharaj
Presently the word Yoga has been used to indicate exercises in more or less physical form. But if we look into the fundamental basis of Yoga we will find that it has been dealt with in the remote past by Krishna Himself on the pages of Bhagavadgita in more profound way. In this, more than 5000 year old, boook we find theosophical and spiritual topics categorized in different chapters as sankhya yoga, karma yoga, gyana yoga, (see more...) karma sanyasa yoga, dhyana yoga, gyana vigyana yoga, tara brahma yoga, raja guhya yoga, vibhuti yoga, visvarupa darshana yoga, bhakti yoga, gunatraya vibhaga yoga, purushottama yoga, sraddharaya vibhaga yoga and moksha yoga.

In Sixth Chapter of Bhagavadgita we read the words of Sri Krishna:

BG 6.46   The yogi is superior to persons engaged in severe austerities (such as the Chandrayana vow), superior to the person of knowledge who worships Brahman, and superior to the person of action. Know this to be My conclusion. Therefore, O Arjuna, be a yogi.
BG 6.47   The best of all yogis is the devotee who has full faith in the authoritative pure devotional scriptures, and who adores, rendering all services unto Me. This is My opinion.

Bhakti Yoga has been described in 12th Chapter of Bhagavadgita as path of devotion to the Supreme Person, and not to oneself or other people, Unmanifested Brahman, Wind or Earth etc. ( bhaktya mam abhijanati yavan yas chasmi tattvatah
tato mam tattvato gyatva
vishyate tad-anantatam

BG 18.55   Through devotion, he realizes that I am the Lord of all potencies and the Sweet Absolute. Then, realizing his divine relationship with Me, he enters the company of My intimate associates who are non-different from My very Self.
)
Bhakti Yoga embraces all types of relationships as all of them spung from the Supreme Center. The example is given in Upanishadas: "just like by watering roots of a tree all branches are nourished or just by putting food in the stomach one nourishes the whole body, similarly one creates harmony in whole universe by worshipping the Supreme." True bhakta is a true friend of all as he sees the Divine Hand every where.

This website is dedicated to our beloved spiritual master Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev Goswami Maharaja, the recepient and master of ancient line bhakti yoga, who has given us more guidance, hope and affection than we can ever imagine. We are simply to share the great gift given unconditionally to us to you and all sincere seekers. Regardless of age, background, or any material qualification or circumstance, this gift is beneficial to all. Not everyone is looking for spiritual life but most definitely everyone is looking for love, beauty, for harmony and happiness. Unfortunately all transactions in this mortal world can never bring us satisfaction for what we're truely looking for. How can we find what can give this satisfaction? Here at our asram, it is our hope that you will find the answer. Our meetings are based on happily hearing about God (hari katha), glorifying God (kirtan) and tasting prasadam (food offered to Lord Krishna). If you want to uplift your conscious heart please come as you are .

Thank you,
Editors

Kirtan comes from word kirti - indicating some one worth of glory. So kirtan is an act of giving honor to such a person. The supreme glory is with the supreme person. Thus kirtan is not just singing a nice tune. Rather it is based on devotion, and its quality depends on the intensity of devotion. One needs to chant kirtan under the guidance of one whose devotion is pure, unmotivated and clear. Kirtan should be chanted without any petition as far as possible.

Kirtan is the very essence and tradition of Gaudiya Vaishnava line. There chanting with the attitude of service is a practice. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Pabhupada envisioned kirtan as the means to support the highest and most sublime pastimes of Lord Sri Krishna and His associates.
kirtan in Gaudiya style
He said: "pujala raga patha gaurava bhange, matal sadhujana nishaya range" - devotees of Lord Hari will hold His pastimes on their heads. They will position themselves beneath the sublime plane of Divinity but humbly support it with their kirtan in glorification of the Lord.
