The Damodarastakam\, a series of eight beautiful verses by the great sage Satyavrata Muni\, is sung daily in the morning and evening. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Daily Schedule\n\nMorning – Candle offering – 7am – 7:20am \nEvening – Candle offering – 4:20pm  – 7:30pm \nKrishna Book reading- Prabhupada’s Rooms – 7:30pm  – 8:30pm \nNotes:\nCandles will be provided free of charge to everyone.

Similarly\, kṛṣṇa-kathā\, or the topics of Kṛṣṇa\, are so pure that wherever they are spoken\, the place\, the hearer\, the inquirer\, the speaker and all concerned become purified. \nTimes and locations may vary on festival days \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Listen to the story of Kartik\n\nCreated by Bhaktivedanta Players.

SUMMARY:Diwali Darshan
DESCRIPTION:Tues 21 October 2025\n\nDiwali celebrates the joyful day upon which Lord Rama returned to the kingdom of Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile. The name itself comes from Dipavali\, a Sanskrit word referring to the countless rows of lamps which His citizens had lit throughout the kingdom to welcome Him back home (dipa means “lamp\, light or candle\,” and avali means “rows”). During a different era\, this was also the day when Lord Krishna performed His childhood pastime of breaking pots of yogurt and letting His mother bind Him with rope. \nThe Diwali festival will be celebrated on 19th October at the temple. \nOn 21st October we will not be having festivities\, the temple will remain open for darshan for all who want to come and take darshan. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Schedule\n\nSubject to change \nDarshan: 10am-7:30pm \nFarm: 10am-6pm \nCafé: 10am-7:30pm \nNo stage program or fireworks \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDonate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Frequently asked questions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDo I need a ticket to attend?\n\n\n\nNo ticket required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill there be parking available?\n\n\n\nYes.
