First Ritvik Initiation Ceremony

The above ceremony was conducted for the first time at the Sri Krishna Mandir.The new initiates took their spiritual vows of following the four principles and chanting a minimum of 16 rounds daily infront of Srila Prabhupad ,the Deities and Agni.
The ceremony was conducted by His Grace Raghupati prabhu, the chief Priest.The new initiates were very please to be connected to the Parampara through Srila Prabhupad, the Maha Bhagavad pure devotee of the Lord.Their connection with Srila Prabhupad was already there once they started accepting him by reading his books,however with this Ritvik initiation ceremony their formal connection with Srila Prabhupad becomes firmly establish as a commitment.We are humbly requesting all Vaisnavas to bless them with their mercy and prayers so that they will remain firmly fixed up in their service and vows to Srila Prabhupad.Hare Krsna.
