SUMMARY:Diwali Darshan
DESCRIPTION:Monday 13 November 2023\n\nThe festival of Diwali is traditionally observed for five days\, but it mainly celebrates the joyful day upon which Lord Rama returned to the kingdom of Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile.

SUMMARY:Appearance of Lord Balarama
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 31 August 2023\nThe Supreme Personality of Godhead\, Krishna\, is the fountainhead of all incarnations. Lord Balarama is His second body. They are both one and the same identity. They differ only in form. In Lord Krishna’s pastimes\, He plays as Krishna’s older brother. Together Krishna and Balarama enact many pastimes as cowherd boys in the land of Vrindavan. \nLord Balarama exemplifies the service attitude to Krishna. His only mission is to please Krishna by rendering service to Him\, whether it is in the creation of the material worlds\, maintaining the spiritual world or as His personal paraphernalia.  \nLord Balarama is the eternal companion of Sri Krishna. He came as Laxman with Rama and later as Sri Nityananda Prabhu with Lord Caitanya. He is the original spiritual master\, and any one desiring to make spiritual progress must first get the mercy of Lord Balarama. \nBalaram Jayanti\, the appearance of Lord Balarama\, celebrates the activities and pastimes of Lord Krishna’s brother\, Lord Balarama. There will be kirtans\, dramas\, ceremonies\, and a feast.

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 while bathing. Give the camera or phone to someone else who is not on the stage. \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:Jhulan Yatra Swing Festival
DESCRIPTION:Monday 8 August – Friday 12 August 2022\n\nThe five-day festival of Jhulan at Bhaktivedanta Manor\, when Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda are placed on a swing and swung by Their devotees\, is a joyous occasion. \nDuring this special time all of us can throng to the temple and please the transcendental eternal forms of Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda. These transcendental forms of the Lord\, called Archa-Vigraha\, are installed in the temple and are non-different from Them personally. These forms are expanded by the Lord by His internal potency to facilitate the devotional service of His innumerable devotees who are in the material world. \nSince our material senses cannot perceive the spiritual nature of Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda\, They accept such Archa Vigraha apparently made of a material element such as marble\, but actually there is no material contamination. The  Supreme Personality of Godhead and His eternal consort are waiting for us to fill our hearts with transcendental happiness by serving Their beautiful transcendental forms as They swing at Bhaktivedanta Manor during Jhulan-yatra. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Schedule\n\nEarly Morning – Monday 8th – Friday 12th \n7:00 am – 7:30am \nEvening – \nWednesday 10th –  9:00-9:30pm \nFriday 12th – 7:00-7:30pm

SUMMARY:Disappearance of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 28 June 2022\nSrila Bhaktivinoda Thakur (1838-1914) is a prominent preceptor acharya in our succession of spiritual masters and disciples coming from Lord Krishna. He was a pioneering spiritual leader\, a householder\, a magistrate working in colonial India under the British rule\, a prolific preacher\, writer\, and poet. He wrote volumes of books reintroducing the pure teachings of Lord Chaitanya at a time when those teachings had practically become lost. He composed hundreds of devotional songs glorifying Krishna to uplift the consciousness of the suffering people of this world. He corresponded with philosophers\, theologians\, leaders\, scholars\, and professors of his time and sent books\, including The Life and Precepts of Lord Chaitanya\, to university libraries in foreign countries\, planting the seeds for a worldwide movement of Krishna consciousness. Bhaktivinoda Thakur discovered and excavated the birthplace of Lord Chaitanya. Along with his devoted wife\, Bhagavati Devi\, he raised ten children\, including the illustrious Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur\, who would become a great spiritual leader in his own time and the spiritual master of ISKCON’s founder-acharya\, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. \nPlease join us for the Morning Program in the Temple Room\, which will include a special class about Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur & Sri Gadhadhara Pandit. \nDisappearance of Sri Gadhadhara Pandit \nAlso celebrated on this day is the Disappearance of Sri Gadadhara Pandit. Sri Gadadhara Pandita is among the group known as the Panca-tattva\, consisting of Caitanya Mahaprabhu and four of His closest associates. Sri Gadadhara Pandita spent most of his life in Jagannatha Puri worshiping the Tota-Gopinatha Deity\, who is still worshiped in Puri. Sri Gadadhara Pandita is considered an incarnation of Srimati Radharani\, the eternal consort of Krishna. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule \nTemple Room\n4:30am-8:30am\nMorning Program & a talk on Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur & Sri Gadhadhara Pandit \n8:30am-9:15am\nPurshpanjali (Offering of flowers ceremony) & Guru Puja \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 a ticket to attend?\n\n\n\nNo ticket is required.
