A few months ago, a university student in Boston asked me to teach her the kirtan prayer which is sung before honoring prasadam (written by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura). Her request inspired me to create a complete crash course on the glories of maha-prasadam, which could serve even more people.
So, from April 5th – May 3rd I offered my first online bhakti-yoga course: The Glories of Maha-Prasadam. Thanks to the stories, kirtan, and distinguished guest speakers who shared their wisdom — and their recipes — it was an incredible experience.
Each session was filled with spiritual food for thought and new inspiration for offering delicious preparations with love and devotion to Sri Krsna.
As part of the course, several vaisnava cooks shared their recipes and tips for cooking in Radharani’s Kitchen as part of a daily bhakti-yoga practice. Beautifully and lovingly designed by Ragalata dasi, all of the recipe PDFs are now downloadable below!
I’m deeply grateful and indebted to all of the friends and community whose support made this course possible.
