Coming Up.......Nrsimha Caturdasi


This year, the Nrsimha Caturdasi falls on the 12th of May, Friday. It is Lord Nrsimha's mercy that it is a public holiday. That prompted us to plan a grand three-day festival from Friday to Sunday. So we will be having stage shows on all the three days. On Friday, we will have an English program, on
Saturday, we have a special children program and on Sunday, we have a Bengali program.

On Friday, we have an abhishek for Lord Nrsimha at 6:30p.m. followed by Sandhya Arati at 7p.m. and at 8p.m., we have the cultural program.

Lord Nrsimha is especially fierce against the demons, as you can see in the picture above. So, by participating in this festival, all inauspicious things which are just like demons, will be vanquished and the path to spiritual advancement becomes easy and clear. All devotees are required to fast till sunset. Thank you! Hare Krishna!!

Upcoming Fest --- Rama Navami


We, at Sri Krishna Mandir, are pleased to announce the upcoming festival -- Rama Navami, the appearance day of Lord Ramacandra, which falls on the 7th of April, this month.

We have a talk on the glorious pastimes of Lord Ramacandra in the morning. On this auspicious occasion, devotees can chant more rounds, read more about the pastimes of the Supreme Lord and offer some devotional service at the temple and thus advance in their spiritual life. Moreover, all devotees are required to fast till sunset.

The programs start from 7pm with the Sandhya Arati. Following that is a class on the pastimes of Lord Ramacandra, Sayana Arati, drama and Prasadam distribution.
