Furthermore, all guests are in for extraordinary treats! These delicacies are exclusive to the centers of the Krishna Consciousness Society, as they are prepared following ancient recipes and techniques that are passed down through the chain of discipleship and are not accessible to everyone. Their unique flavors and delightful aromas will leave you enchanted!

So, the Sunday program starts at 11:00 a.m. with a welcoming of the Deities - the Supreme Lords. The opening of the altar is accompanied by a beautiful hymn from the Brahma-Samhita, an ancient text composed over five thousand years ago. This enchanting ceremony leaves a profound impression and helps one connect with the divine.

From 11:10 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. - a time for profound wisdom and advice from elevated devotees of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The lecture will shed light on various aspects of our daily lives. At the end of the lecture, you can ask any questions you may have and receive expert answers.

From 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. - a rare ceremony in modern times called Gaura-arati. If you want to know what it is and how it's performed, don't miss it. Bright emotions and unforgettable joyful experiences are guaranteed. The arati is accompanied by kirtan.

From 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. - the kirtan continues after the arati. It's an opportunity to deeply immerse yourself in the transcendental vibration of the maha-mantra - the Greatest Chant of Liberation.

From 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. - a time to honor the guests of the Temple. Yes, that means you, dear guests.
