FESTIVALS

Ramanavami 11th April 2003

This is the appearance anniversary of Lord Ramachandra (Rama), an incarnation of Vishnu or Krishna. He is the perfect king and perfect husband. He appeared on the earth millions of years ago in the Treta yuga, accompanied by his wife, Sita, His brother Lakshman, and His faithful servant, Hanuman. You can read Lord Rama's adventures in the Ramayana.

Here at Bhaktivedanta Manor, devotees fast from food, and they present special dramas and classes on the Ramayana. New outfits are presented to the Deities. A large turnout of pilgrims takes darshan of the Manor's Deities of Sita-Rama, Lakshman and Hanuman. In the field there is a special marquee which stages bhajans, dances and the Ramayana drama. The turn out for this festival can be up to 15,000.
