Celebrating Srimad Bhagavatam
Bhagavatam Katha & Bhadra Purnima Yajna With Radhanath Swami & S.B. Keshava Swami
Venue: Kadwa Patidar Centre, Harrow, HA3 8LU
We warmly invite you to a Srimad Bhagavtam Katha & Bhadra Purnima Yajna celebration, in the presence of Radhanath Swami and SB Keshava Swami. This exclusive programme will be filled with transcendental wisdom, kirtan, cultural performance, yajna, and lunch Prasadam.
Launched in 2017, the Bhadra campaign is inspired by the Srimad-Bhagavatam verse 12.13.13, which states, “If on the full moon day of the month of Bhadra one places Srimad-Bhagavatam on a golden throne and gives it as a gift, he will attain the supreme transcendental destination.”
It’s also driven by Srila Prabhupada’s instruction in a 1977 letter to disciples, “I want that every respectable person has a full set of Bhagavatam and Caitanya Caritamrta in his home.”

About Srimad Bhagavatam
The Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is revered as the direct literary incarnation of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, manifested in text to illuminate the world following His departure. According to Padma Purana this sacred scripture not merely as a book, but as the transcendent personal form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead itself. Each of its twelve Cantos corresponds sequentially to the limbs of the Lord’s divine body, beginning from His lotus feet in the first two Cantos and progressing up to the divine smile on His lotus face in the Tenth Canto.
Recognised as a spiritual powerhouse, the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam holds the transformative force needed to bring about a revolution in the impious life of a misdirected civilization. In a world fragmented by material greed and ideological conflict, its foundational message of universal unity—centered on pure, unalloyed devotion to Śrī Kṛṣṇa—serves as a powerful binding force for all humanity. By exposing the root causes of global suffering, this potent literature provides the precise remedies required to re-spiritualize human society.
Among the vast ocean of Vedic texts, the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is universally celebrated as the Mahā-Purāṇa, the spotless and supreme literature. Spoken by Śukadeva Gosvāmī and compiled by Śrīla Vyāsadeva at the point of his full spiritual maturity, it distills the highest wisdom of self-realization without any trace of material motivation. Loving devotional service to the Supreme Lord shines throughout its verses, illuminating human hearts and washing away the darkest impurities of the age of Kali.
