SUMMARY:Appearance of Sri Nrisimhadeva
DESCRIPTION:Wed 19 May 2027\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\n\nMorning Programme\nMangal Arati\, Guru Puja\, Darshan\, Narasimha Kavacha\, Class\, Narasimha Yajna \nAfternoon Programme\nKirtan\, Performance & Drama\, Class\, Abhishek\, Prasad \n(Get the blessings of all vaisnavas\, by sponsoring prasad.

SUMMARY:Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi
DESCRIPTION:Mon 14 Jun 2027 | Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\nMorning Programme\nMangal Arati\, Darshan & Guru Puja\, Class \nEvening Programme\n5pm – Kirtan & Glories of Ekadasi\n7pm –  Gaura / Sandhya Arati\n7:30pm – Kirtan\n9pm – Shayan Arati\n9:30pm – Finish \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Nirjala Ekadashi: More Than Just a Fast | Spiritual Power Explained\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Ekadasi \nEkadasi is one of the regular celebrations in the Vaishnava calendar. It is observed eleven days after the full moon and eleven days after the new moon of every month. Ekadasi is known as the day of Lord Hari and is said to be the mother of devotion. Keeping the fast on Ekadasi is one of the sixty-four items of devotional service listed in Srila Rupa Gosvami’s Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu. In fact\, it is one of the first ten. \nThe Nectar of Devotion\, Srila Prabhupada’s summary study of Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu\, states\, “In the Brahma-vaivarta Purana it is said that one who observes fasting on Ekadasi day is freed from all kinds of reactions to sinful activities and advances in pious life. The basic principle is not just to fast\, but to increase one’s faith and love for Govinda\, or Krsna. The real reason for observing fasting on Ekadasi is to minimize the demands of the body and to engage our time in the service of the Lord by chanting or performing similar service. The best thing to do on fasting days is to remember the pastimes of Govinda and to hear His holy name constantly.” \nPandava Nirjala Ekadasi \n“Pandava” refers to the Pandavas\, the sons of Emperor Pandu. One such son was Arjuna\, to whom Krishna spoke the Bhagavad-gita. Another son of Pandu was Bhima\, a most powerful warrior and a most voracious eater. He was not one who welcomed fasting\, and admitted to not being able to follow Ekadasi. However\, he was told that if he observed complete fasting on one particular Ekadasi day annually\, he would get all the spiritual benefits of having followed every Ekadasi fast of the year. He and his brothers thus all agreed to fast on that day (Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi). \n“Nirjala” means “no water.” Strict followers of Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi observe a total fast today\, even from water. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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 Bhaktivedanta Manor Hilfield Lane Watford Sat-Nav: WD25 8HE \nNote: Entrance to temple is via Hilfield Lane only. There is no entrance to the temple through Letchmore Heath village. For driving\, use approximate driving postcode WD25 8HE and follow road signs.

SUMMARY:Jhulan Yatra
DESCRIPTION:Thurs 12 – Tues 17 Aug 2027\n\nThe five-day celebration 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\nMorning 7am \nEvening 4:45pm-6:15pm \nPlease bring your own flowers to offer to the deities \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.

SUMMARY:Appearance of Lord Balarama
DESCRIPTION:Tues 17 Aug 2027\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.
