Upcoming  Events 2010

Thursday, 2nd September: Sri Krishna Janmashtami - Appearance of Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna

(Fast till midnight)

Janmashtami — sometimes called Krishnashtami,  Gokulashtami or Krishna Jayanti — is the celebration of Krishna's birth and therefore, it's one of the biggest events for the Hare Krishna devotees. Janmashtami is celebrated by millions of Vaishnavas worldwide.

3rd September: Srila Prabhupada's Appearance Day

(Fast till noon)

In 1896, on the day following Janmashtami , His Divine Grace, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada was born in Calcutta, India. In the Vaishnava calendar, this day is also known as Nandotsava: the day  that Nanda Maharaja, father, prepared a grand festival to celebrate the birth of his son.

As founder- acarya of  ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada plays a central role in the life of all ISKCON devotees. Everyone connected to ISKCON knows that without Srila Prabhupada’s courage and his unmotivated love and compassion all the residents of the world, we would not have had the opportunity to intimately serve Krishna in such a favourable environment as exists within ISKCON. Although ISKCON devotees have started accepting a spiritual master of their choice after the disappearance of Srila Prabhupada, Srila Prabhupada still remains the guru of everyone.

15th September: Radhashtami - Appearance of Srimati Radha Rani

(Fast till noon)

Srimati Radharani is the eternal consort of Lord Krishna.  She appeared on the eighth day of the bright fortnight in the month of  Bhadra  (August – September) fifteen days after the birth of Lord Sri Krishna. She was found in a field by Maharaja Vrushabhanu, who along with his wife Kirtida Sundari, became her foster parents. 

All great authorities on devotional science (bhakti  yoga ) consider Her to be the greatest devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Her devotion is so exalted that even the self-satisfied Supreme Lord Krishna is intensely attracted to Her. Devotees try to follow in Her footsteps in trying to please Lord Krishna.  Krishna is considered Her property and only She can deliver Krishna to the sincere devotee. Thus devotees pray to Her fervently to bless them with Krishna bhakti.
