The word "bhajan" means "to glorify the Lord." Typically are songs sung with Vedic instruments (mrdunga drums & cymbals). In Chicago we are especially fortunate to have a devotee who has a professional singing background, Vamsidhari das. He plays the harmonium and sings many wonderful songs that he himself composed in Hindi, along with many tunes of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.

The word "prasadam" means "mercy". Everything we cook is offered to Lord Sri Krishna in the mood of loving devotion. Such sanctified foodstuffs are referred to as prasadam. For instructions on how to offer your food at home click this link: (Coming soon!)
