Month of Purushottama
2026-05-17 16:20 - 2026-06-14 19:30 (Europe/London) | Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
17 May to 14 June 2026
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.
It 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.

Bhagavad-gita Chapter 15 – Purushottama Yoga

In the introduction to the Bhagavad-gita, Srila Prabhupada explains “In the Fifteenth Chapter it shall be seen that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Purushottama, is above both impersonal Brahman and the partial realisation of Paramatma.” – so in this month of Purushottama, we will be doing daily readings of the fifteenth chapter.

Sunday 24 May 2026

“Ratha-yatra” means “chariot festival”. This celebration has been held every year for hundreds of years at Jagannatha Puri, in Orissa on India’s east coast. There, three huge chariots, carrying the Deity forms of Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra, are pulled by hand through the city streets amid loud musical performances. Millions of pilgrims come to the festival in Orissa. Jagannatha is a special and very merciful form of Krishna.
Ratha-yatra is the biggest street festival sponsored by ISKCON – and ends with a delicious, sanctified vegetarian feast. It is celebrated by devotees of Lord Krishna all over the world and was introduced to the West by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1967 in San Franscisco. The Ratha-yatra festivals are held at several different places across the country, the biggest in London.
The London procession starts from Park Lane and goes through Piccadilly and Haymarket and finally arrives at Trafalgar Square, where festivities continue till the evening. Drama, dance, philosophy and a feast are the highlights.
London Rathayatra will take place on Sunday 24 May 2026 (www.rathayatra.co.uk)

Nirjala Ekadashi: More Than Just a Fast | Spiritual Power Explained

About Ekadasi
Ekadasi 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.
The 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.”
Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi
“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).
“Nirjala” means “no water.” Strict followers of Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi observe a total fast today, even from water.

Sunday 28 June 2026 | Schedule

The Chida Dahi Utsava, also known as the Chipped Rice celebration of Panihati, is a yearly celebration of the pastimes of Srila Raghunatha dasa Goswami and Lord Nityananda Prabhu. This pastime took place on the banks of the Ganges at Panihati, which is just north of Calcutta. Lord Chaitanya and his associates enjoyed many transcendental pastimes here. Chida Dahi Utsava remembers how the Lord mercifully reciprocated with His devotees by arranging, through Nityananda Prabhu and Raghunatha dasa, to provide an ecstatic feast of yoghurt and chipped rice, along with various other nectar foodstuffs.

7.30pm Celebration prasadam

Srila Prabhupada introduced his followers to the Panca Tattva, five transcendental truths, namely Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (the Supreme Person), Nityananda Prabhu (His expansion), Advaita Acharya (His incarnation), Gadadhara (His internal energy) and Srivasa Pandita (His devotee). There are innumerable unalloyed devotees of the Lord and they’re all headed by Srivasa Pandita.
Srivasa Pandita, who’s described as an incarnation of Narada Muni, played an important role in Sri Chaitanya’s pastimes. Krishnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami describes that before Sri Chaitanya accepted the renounced order of life, He “regularly led congregational chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra in the house of Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura every night for one full year.” Sometimes Srivasa would please Sri Chaitanya by describing to Him the transcendental mellows of the pastimes of Krishna in Śrī Vṛndāvana.

Disappearance of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur
2026-07-14 16:00 - 19:30 | Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
Tues 14 July 2026
Srila 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.
Disappearance of Sri Gadhadhara Pandit
Also 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.

At the end of the procession, there is a big gathering of devotees with feasting, stalls and spiritual entertainment.

Lord Jagannatha, known as the Lord of the Universe, is a wooden form of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

What will you be singing on the day?

Primarily the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra will be sung:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
The mantra is most commonly translated as, “O Lord, O Energy of the Lord, please engage me in Your service.” It was popularized in the sixteenth century by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and spread worldwide in the late twentieth century by Srila Prabhupada and his followers in the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
