Live Broadcasts

E-sanga offers a unique opportunity for the sādhaka (practitioner of a spiritual discipline) to actively participate in live classes and seminars in a systematic study from the cream of Vedic literature.

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam
There is no other literature in the world like Śrīmad Bhāgavatam.  It is the essence of all Vedic literature. One who systematically studies this sacred text under able guidance is sure to become a God-realized soul by the end of reading the first 9 cantos.  
Caitanya Caritāmṛta

Caitanya Caritāmṛta is accepted as the most authoritative presentation of Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava philosophy in the form of an 18-volume biography of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. It is a great scholastic work in which the author quotes from no less than 60 other books to establish the profound teachings of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. 

Seminars

E-sanga seminars cover a wide variety of subject matters, including summary biographies of great saints and Avataras, explanations of various schools of philosophy, comparative religious studies, current events within ISKCON, celebrations of Vaiṣṇava holidays, the songs of the Acaryas, works of the Goswami’s, and the Founder-Acarya Series. 

Recorded Archives

Access a vast library of thousands of audio recordings, videos, images, slide shows, and study guides.  We are constantly adding more assets to our library, so please feel free to check back often. 

Bhagavad-gītā

Bhagavad-gītā is accepted as the premeir introduction to spiritual life covering knowledge of the self, God’s manaifestions in the spiritual and material worlds, the origin of the phenomenal world, the nature of time, and the workings of karma. 

Caitanya Bhāgavata

At least 27 biographies were written on the life of Caitanya Mahāprabhu after His disappearance.  Of these, perhaps no other was more loved and authoritative than the Caitanya Mangala, also known as the Caitanya  Bhāgavata. This massive work is accompanied by elaborate commentaries by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thakur

About us

We are E-sanga and have been broadcasting almost 10 years

E-sanga began on May 3, 2010, on the Big Island of Hawaii, where it is still based today. The concept to start an online community was spawned from a deep need to hear transcendental sound on a daily basis in the association of like-minded individuals. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Individuals can only advance with the help of other, more advanced souls. Spiritual life ultimately culminates in reviving our original relationship with the Supreme Being as well as with all other living beings.  Therefore e-sanga was created to stimulate loving relationships between the Lord and His devotees and to foster an atmosphere in which we can lift each other to higher states of consciousness.  This is the meaning of Krishna Consciousness and the purpose of e-sanga.
