I am very proud that I had such a nice disciple. If possible Jayananda’s picture should be hung in the ratha of Lord Jagannatha\, and in all of our temples a day may be set aside for holding a festival in his honor\, just as we do on the disappearance day of the other great Vaisnavas.” – Srila Prabhupada Letter to Ramesvara\, New Delhi\, 11 May 1977 \nAfter the disappearance of Jayananda Das on May 1\, 1977\, His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada instructed devotees all over the world to commemorate the event every year as they would any great Vaishnava’s disappearance day. \nJayananda was always ready to do whatever was necessary to push on Krishna consciousness. He was expert at everything: cooking\, preaching\, Deity worship\, public relations\, sankirtan\, selling incense\, construction\, and everything else it takes to run a temple. He was a tireless worker. He would be the first one up in the morning and the last one to sleep at night. It was Jayananda who was always running out to get the flowers\, Jayananda who was washing dishes and making sure the kitchen was clean\, Jayananda who was often missing class while he was out doing some service\, and Jayananda who was always encouraging others to go out and preach\, and setting the example himself. \nWhatever assignment he was given\, he would always get done\, even if he had to suffer personally for it. No matter how hard he was working\, he would never stop for a nap during the day. He seemed to be inexhaustible. \nFrom a Back to Godhead article by Kalakantha dasa.

SUMMARY:Appearance of Sri Nrisimhadeva
DESCRIPTION:Thurs 30 Apr 2026\nSri Nrisimhadeva is Lord Krishna’s incarnation as half-man\, half-lion. He is glorified\, described and explained in the Vaisnava scripture Srimad Bhagavatam. Devotees pray to this form of the Lord for protection\, not only from physical threats but also from the selfish attachments in our own hearts.  \nLord Nrisimhadeva came to protect his great devotee\, Prahlada Maharaja\, who constantly prayed to Lord Krishna despite being tortured by his father\, Hiranyakashipu. Nrsimhadeva outwitted the demon Hiranyakashipu\, who thought that he had been blessed to never die under any circumstance. \nNrisimha Caturdasi\, the appearance of Sri Nrisimhadeva is a day to pray for protection and celebrate His glories. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule (Subject to change)\n\nMorning Programme | 4:30am – 11:30am\nMangal Arati\, Guru Puja\, Deity Darshan\, Kirtan\, Class\, Narasimha Kavach Yajna \nAfternoon Programme in Sri Krishna Haveli\nTimings & Schedule TBC \n(Get the blessings of all vaisnavas\, by sponsoring prasad.
