A spiritual oasis

We live in an age which grants us extraordinary conveniences and torrents of information. Yet the very technology designed for our well-being often serves only to isolate us from one another and distance us from the experience of all that is truly divine.

The Bhakti Center is a spiritual oasis in the jungle of Manahattan—they host an amazing variety of events and classes. There is a beautiful Radha Krishna temple on the third floor. And of course, Divya’s Kitchen, New York #1 rated vegetarian restaurant—the perfect place to nourish yourself with spiritually-charged food before and after events.

The Bhakti Center presents four avenues of growth, each drawing from the yoga tradition. You can explore each to create your own path:

Yoga

to purify the body and the mind

Meditation

to find yourself by elevating the mind to a higher frequency

Wisdom

to contemplate life from a spiritual perspective

Culture

to experience the transformative power of the arts & sciences

Appreciations

“This is my spiritual home in New York City. The Bhakti Center is a special place. If you are looking for a place to learn more about yoga, philosophy, Ayurveda and the yogic lifestyle; the Bhakti Center is the place to go!”
Kate Jones
“The Bhakti Center is a haven in the middle of a bustling New York City. They have amazing yoga classes, delicious food at Divya’s Kitchen and so much more! If you’re looking to get in touch with your spirituality, or just for a moment to work on your downward-dog, this is definitely the place to go!”
Lauren Bates
“I went here while in New York for business. While not a devotee of any religion, the feeling of community and happiness is felt from the minute you walk in the doors. I was lucky enough to be there on a Thursday night when they have Kirtans. Loved the experience. If you’re searching for something different in New York, or in general, this is the place to go.”
