Time: 10am-7pm each day
Location: Bhakti Lounge (near the Temple Room)
You are cordially invited to the exclusive opening of Srila Prabhupada: The Divine Art Exhibition, a magnificent showcase by the esteemed artist Haridas Thakur Das. This is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the exquisite collection of oil paintings, featuring profound portraits of Srila Prabhupada, alongside mesmerising depictions of other revered devotees and Lord Krishna.
About Haridas Thakur Das
Haridas Thakur Das, a visual arts graduate with extensive experience in research, education, art, and spirituality, has dedicated many years as a monk at the Radha Gopinath Temple in downtown Mumbai. His life’s mission has been to promote spiritual wellbeing in society, inspired by his spiritual master, HH Radhanath Swami.
From an early age, Haridas was captivated by art and painting, receiving training from his devout father, a talented artist. His brief time in the industry introduced him to the philosophy of Bhakti Yoga, merging his passions for art and spirituality. This fusion led him to join the Mumbai monastery, where he embarked on a project to illustrate the pastimes and incarnations of Lord Krishna, now beautifully displayed on the walls of the Radha Gopinath Temple.
Driven by a missionary spirit and inspired by the life and teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Haridas has created over 50 oil paintings and authored “Illustrations and Illuminations,” a book featuring his depictions of Srila Prabhupada and an artistic exploration of Vedic theology. His artwork, characterised by detailed characters, vibrant shades, and unique perspectives, brings a divine essence to his subjects.
Drawing inspiration from Bhakti texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam, as well as celebrated artists such as Raja Ravi Varma, S.M. Pandit, Rembrandt, and William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Haridas merges classical and spiritual influences in his work.
In addition to sharing his artistic knowledge with enthusiasts, Haridas also teaches contemporary wisdom from Bhakti texts at prestigious institutions like the JJ School of Art and to members of the Indian Navy and Army in Mumbai.

Join us for an evening of Sadhu Sanga with Bhanu Swami
Topic: “Srila Prabhupada – The Pre-Eminent Acharya of ISKCON”
Bhanu Swami was born in Canada and holds a BA in Oriental fine arts history from the University of British Colombia. He joined the Hare Krishna movement in India in 1970. Initiated in 1971 by Srila Prabhupada, he took sannyasa vows in 1984. Bhanu Swami was personally instructed in the art of Deity worship by Srila Prabhupada, and within ISKCON he has become an authority on the topic.
A scholar in Sanskrit and Bengali, Bhanu Swami has translated fifteen significant works of the Gaudiya Vaishnava canon, with six more titles in progress. Many of these works are commentaries from primary members of the Gaudiya sampradaya on the Bhagavad-gita, Sri-Isopanishad, and Srimad Bhagavatam. Thus, Bhanu Swami’s contribution is a lasting one.

In 1973, Sivarama Swami joined the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), a dynamic organisation representing Vaishnavism, and became a disciple of ISKCON’s Founder-Acharya, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Six years later, at age 29, he entered a life of renunciation and was awarded the order of sannyasa (celibate monk). In 1987 he was ordained as an initiating spiritual master in the Vaishnava denomination.
Sivarama Swami is an internationally acknowledged religious leader, theologian, author of 23 books and dozens of articles, and an environmental and human rights activist. His scholarship and writings, his extensive public activities, his continued efforts to stand up for human rights, and his regular involvement in interfaith dialogues have made Sivarama Swami one of the most prominent religious leaders in Europe.

About śrāddha from Srila Prabhupada
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to Gaya to offer respectful oblations to His forefathers. This process is called pinda-dana. In Vedic society, after the death of a relative, especially one’s father or mother, one must go to Gaya and there offer oblations to the lotus feet of Lord
Vishnu. Therefore hundreds and thousands of men gather daily to offer such oblations, or sraddha. Following this principle, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu also went there to offer pinda to His dead father. (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi 17.8, Purport)
After death according to Vedic regulations, pinda-udaka, pinda, offering Vishnu prasada and water at least once in a year, it is required by the family members. And according to Vedic culture, there is one month fixed up in a year when all people will offer pinda and udaka to the forefathers. (Lecture, London, July 29, 1973)
Importance and need of performing śrāddha
In Srimad Bhagavatam Lord Sri Narasimha Himself recommends performing of Shraddha ceremony by His devotee Prahlada after delivering Hiranyakashipu.
kuru tvaṁ preta-kṛ tyāni pituḥ pūtasya sarvaśaḥ
Mad-aṅ ga-sparśanenāṅ ga lokān yāsyati suprajāḥ
My dear child, your father has already been purified just by the touch of My body at the time of his death. Nonetheless, the duty of a son is to perform the śrāddha ritualistic ceremony after his father’s death so that his father may be promoted to a planetary system where he may become a good citizen and devotee. (SB 7.10.22)
Objectives of performing śrāddha
…What is putra pinda? Caitanya Mahaprabhu also showed us the example. He went to Gaya Pradesh to offer pinda for His forefathers. This is necessary still… There are many practical cases that one’s father or mother became a ghost after death, and after offering oblations at the lotus feet of Vishnu at Gaya, he was delivered. There are many cases. So, actual fact is Vishnu worship. That is the ultimate goal of Vedic civilization, but they do not know. (Srila Prabhupada lecture, Surat, January 3, 1971)
Prayers and types of the śrāddha ritual
The best process for the śrāddha ceremony is to distribute bhāgavata-prasāda (remnants of food that has first been offered to Kṛṣṇa) to all of one’s forefathers and relatives. This makes a first-class śrāddha ceremony. (SB 7.15 summary)
There are three kinds of ceremonies — specifically, ceremonies to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead or the demigods, those performed for social celebrations like marriages and birthdays, and those meant to please the forefathers, like the śrāddha ceremony. In all these ceremonies, large amounts of money are spent for various activities, but here it is suggested that if along with this there is recitation of the wonderful activities of Vāmanadeva, certainly the ceremony will be carried out successfully and will be free of all discrepancies. (SB 8.23.31 purport)
The effects of the śrāddha ritual
There is a hell which is called pun. So from that hellish condition, one who delivers, trāyate iti tra, therefore he is called putra. This is… Every Sanskrit word has got meaning, root meaning. Putra. Putra-piṇḍa-prayojanam. Putra is required. Why? After death, if by chance the father does not get ordinary life or goes to the hellish condition of life, the son will deliver. Therefore śrāddha ceremony. There is śrāddha… What is that śrāddha ceremony? Śrāddha ceremony means to offer foodstuff to Viṣṇu, and with the prasādam, to the forefathers or father it is offered, so that by eating prasādam, if he is in ghost life or in hellish life, he’ll be delivered. This is called śrāddha. (Srila Prabhupada lecture Vrindavan, SB 1.5.24, August 5, 1974,)
Who can perform śrāddha
Sanatan Dharma that does not give any cause for excuse for not performing śrāddha due to the absence of a particular person. Son, daughter, grandson, great grandson, wife, daughter’s son, brother, nephew, cousin’s son, father, mother, daughter-in-law, son of elderly and younger sisters, maternal uncle, anyone in the seven generations and from the same lineage (sapiṇḍa), anyone after the seven generations and belonging to the same family domain (samanodak), disciple, priests (upadhyay), friend, son-in-law of the deceased can perform Śrāddha in that order. In case of a joint family, the eldest and earning male should perform Śrāddha. In the case of the unit family, everyone should perform śrāddha independently.
Sanatan Dharma has made arrangements so that for each and every dead person śrāddha can be performed so as to give momentum to that person to progress to a higher sub-plane. Dharma Sindhu mentions that: ‘If a particular dead person does not have any relative or a close person, then it is the duty of the king to perform Śrāddha for that person. Normally every year Śrāddha should be performed on the date of death of the person (the Vaishnava calendar and not as per the Western calendar).
Considering the complexity in pronouncing certain Sanskrit words and limitation to understand the rites mentioned in the science, it may not be possible for everyone to perform the ritual as prescribed, by themselves. In such cases one can get the ritual performed through priests and if they are not available, then the ritual can be performed with the help of knowledgeable people.
If the date is not known and only the month is known, then in that case śrāddha can be performed on the last day of Śrāddha period.
