'Aindra: Kirtan Revolution' Book Launch
2023-04-16 16:15 - 19:00 | Sri Krishna Haveli, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
Sunday 16 April 2023 | Sri Krishna Haveli

In the last 15 years, Kirtan has taken ISKCON by storm. There has been a revolution! Aindra Prabhu was perhaps one of the main reasons for this revolution. Who is AIndra Prabhu really though? This new book, ‘Aindra – Kirtan Revolution’, takes us on a journey through his formative years as a soul searching musician surviving on 3 figs a day, to finding the Kirtan Party, creating a master piece of a moving temple built by hand, starting the 24 hour Kirtan in Vrindavan, being forced to record his now famous Kirtans and ultimately going very deep into the esoteric nature of Vraja Bhakti via Krishna Nama.
A prominent feature of this book is how He gained internal realisation of his eternal relationship with Sri Radha Krishna, by always remaining loyal to Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON.
Join us as we launch the book, and celebrate the life of Aindra Prabhu with kirtan, words of offerings, and prasadam.

Appearance of Sri Nrisimhadeva
2023-05-04 | Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
Thursday 4 May 2023
Sri 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.
Lord 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.
Nrisimha Caturdasi, the appearance of Sri Nrisimhadeva is a day to pray for protection and celebrate His glories.
