Do ask if you are unsure about anything. \nPujaris are unable to carry your children so kindly carry very small ones (1 child per adult)\, unless they can walk. If a child is distressed\, please wait until they have calmed down before approaching to bathe. \nYoung children (those under 7 years) will not be given a conch of their own and will need to share with an adult. They can hold the adult’s arm or body. \nDo not touch the Deities. \nPlease only bathe the Deities once\, even if you wish to bathe on behalf of someone else. Before or on receiving the conch\, silently declare to the Lord the names of the one or two people you are bathing for (including yourself). \nDo not carry bags while bathing. You will be asked to put them down and collect them again once you have finished bathing. A rucksack is OK. \nBathe from the top only. That means the head of the Deities only – not the feet or arms. \nDo not take selfies/photos while bathing. \nPlease offer your obeisances off the stage. \nDevotees are always eager to serve. Please do so at the Snana-yatra festival by bathing the Deities. Kindly do not approach to wave a fan or hold the Deity\, even if you are brahman initiated. You will be refused\, and we do not wish to offend any persons. \nSri Sri Jagannatha Baladeva Subhadra ki jaya! \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Live Stream\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYouTube\n\nClick here to view the live stream \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacebook\n\nClick here to view the live stream \n\n\n\n\n\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 Tickets?\n\n\n\nTickets are not required \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill there be parking available?\n\n\n\nYes.

SUMMARY:Month of Purushottama
DESCRIPTION:Our modern calendar consists of twelve months of unequal length\, ranging from 28 to 31 days.  The Vedic calendar also utilises 12 months\, but these are generally 28 days long.  Therefore over time\, a discrepancy arises as the months move out of alignment with the solar year.  In the same way that leap years are regularly added to our standard calendar and even leap seconds (which most people are unaware of)\, the Vedic calendar includes an additional month every 2-3 years. This extra month is called Adhika Masa or Purusottama Masa. There is spiritual significance to its existence alongside its usefulness in keeping alignment. Similar to Kartik (Damodara) month\, spiritual performances in this month manifest special potency.  Special vows\, fasting and acts of devotion bring extra merit and purification. \nIt is therefore a wonderful opportunity for the bhaktas – the devotees of Lord Krishna.  Here at Bhaktivedanta Manor\, we invite you to participate in an entire month of special programmes.  Come and discover the special story behind the extra month and enjoy traditional bhajans. \nDaily Schedule | Temple Room (from 17 May to 14 June 2026)\n4:20pm – Arati\n4:30pm – Offering of Candles (until 6:15pm)\,\n6:15pm – Reading of Bhagavad-gita\, Chapter 15 (Purusottama Yoga – The Yoga of the Supreme Person)\n7pm – Gaura Arati \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Frequently asked questions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill there be parking available?\n\n\n\nYes. Free parking will be available all day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do I get there?\n\n\n\nAddress\nBhaktivedanta Manor\nHilfield Lane\nWatford\nSat-Nav: WD25 8HE \nNote: Entrance to temple is via Hilfield Lane only.
