At ISKCON Brisbane the congregation is very involved in many aspects of the Temple especially organizing Festivals and participating in plans for the
new Temple and expansion of the ISKCON Brisbane project.
The main congregational gathering is on Saturday evenings at the Temple, but there are many other gatherings in different devotees' houses. If you would like to have the devotees come to do a program at your house please contact deva@in.com.au to make the necessary arrangements.

Some congregational gatherings were on weekends at October.
You can read about it below.

Retreat at Brisbane Forest Park

On Sunday before last, about 50 devotees gathered at the Brisbane Forest Park for the devotee retreat/picnic. One of the goals set by the organisers was for devotees to meet in a relaxed atmosphere outside the usual temple environment.
This was certainly achieved and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day with a variety of activities for young and old throughout the day. Highlights were the bush walk through the lovely rainforest, and the seminars given by His Holiness Veda Vyasa Priya Maharaja and Haridas Thakur Prabhu on the chanting of the Holy Name.
Attached are some nice shots of the day. Stay tuned for more retreats in the future!

Catering at West End Festival

Devotees catered for the West End festival last Sunday. This festival is one of the biggest around the city and it was great that the devotees were a big presence there. More than 700 full plates of prasadam went out to eager festival goers from midday up to 10 pm. Devotees were also distributing many books of spirtual knowledge and vegetarianism from the book stand attached to the prasadam tent.
