Join us for a peaceful and uplifting Sunday afternoon at the Zurich Krishna Temple’s traditional Sunday Feast 🌸
Every Sunday, the temple hosts a vibrant cultural and spiritual gathering featuring mantra meditation, devotional music, wisdom talks, and a generous vegetarian/vegan feast. It’s a beautiful opportunity to experience Bhakti-yoga culture, connect with like-minded people, and enjoy a warm community atmosphere.
Our Plan
We’ll meet at St. Gallen train station at 11.0am and leave together by taking the 11.07am Train to Zurich. From Zurich station, we’ll walk as a group to the temple but you can also take public transport if you prefer that and then we can rejoin at the temple. They also serve lunch for everyone from 1-2pm which we plan to join as well.
About the Sunday Feast
The program typically includes:
• Mantra singing & bhajans (devotional music)
• Spiritual lecture & discussion
• Traditional temple ceremony
• Guided meditation
• Large vegetarian/vegan buffet feast
The festival begins at the temple from 3:00 PM and continues into the evening.
📍 Location: Krishna Temple Zurich
Bergstrasse 54, 8032 Zürich
Who should come?
Everyone is welcome (irrespective of religious/spiritual background) — whether you’re curious about Bhakti yoga philosophy or simply want to enjoy meaningful community time and great food.
Disclaimer
This Meetup is a casual group visit. We are not the organisers of the Sunday Feast — the event itself is hosted by the Zurich Krishna Temple. We’re simply attending together as a group from St. Gallen.

How Lucky by Will Leitch
Posting this early because seemingly all Sundays in May are holidays or busy! I picked a shorter thriller that's hopefully a fast read/listen.
[Columbus library link to book](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3458940)
Location: Grandview Cafe, *1455 W. 3rd Ave*,
Columbus, OH 43212

Book summary:
Daniel leads a rich life in the university town of Athens, Georgia. He's got a couple close friends, a steady paycheck working for a regional airline, and of course, for a few glorious days each Fall, college football tailgates. He considers himself to be a mostly lucky guy -- despite the fact that he's suffered from a debilitating disease since he was a small child, one that has left him unable to speak or to move without a wheelchair. Largely confined to his home, Daniel spends the hours he's not online communicating with irate air travelers observing his neighborhood from his front porch. One young woman passes by so frequently that spotting her out the window has almost become part of his daily routine. Until the day he's almost sure he sees her being kidnapped.

Bad Girls Book Club May 2026
**Our May novel is: *The Quiet Librarian* by Allen Eskens**
**This month’s book is set in the 20th century and mixes historical fiction with suspense and thriller elements. It also centers on women’s stories and relationships. The novel is 368 pages in print or 8 hours and 12 minutes on audiobook.**
Hana Babic is a quiet, middle-aged librarian in Minnesota who wants nothing more than to be left alone. But when a detective arrives with the news that her best friend has been murdered, Hana knows that something evil has come for her, a dark remnant of the past she and her friend had shared.
Thirty years before, Hana was someone else: Nura Divjak, a teenager growing up in the mountains of war-torn Bosnia—until Serbian soldiers arrived to slaughter her entire family before her eyes. The events of that day thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legend—the deadly Night Mora. But a shattering final act forced Nura to flee to the United States with a bounty on her head\*\*.\*\*
