ISKCON Vrindavan Janmashtami 2016

Thursday 25th August 2016 @ 8:00 amFriday 26th August 2016 @ 12:00 am

Though unborn and eternal, the Supreme Lord, of His free will and causeless mercy, incarnates to deliver the pious and annihilate the miscreants. Lord Krishna appeared as the son of Vasudeva and Devaki, but had His childhood pastimes at Gokula, Vrindavan.

Janmashtami is celebrated very gorgeously in Vrindavan. The Bhagavatam classes focus on the transcendental tattvajanma and karma of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, during the week ending with Janmashtami.

On Janmashtami day, the mood of a great festival sets in at Vrindavan. There is a virtual flood of thousands of visitors and guests that traffic control to keep people always on the move is organized. A variety of cultural programs entertain the guests. The altar is beautifully decorated with colorful flowers. A new outfit is offered Sri Sri Radha Shyamsunder. They are marvelously dressed with a variety of flowers, jewels and ornaments. Devotees wait eagerly to take darshan of Them. The Srimad-Bhagavatam class is given by two or three devotees, separately in English and Hindi.

A grand abhisheka is performed at midnight for the tree alters while bhoga offering of more than 400 items are offered to Their Lordships with devotion. A maha-arati is performed and Radha Shyamsunder give darshana in another new outfit. The devotees honor anukalpa-prasada (ekadasi prasada) after midnight.

More details to come soon.
