Month of Kartik
2025-10-06 - 2025-11-05 | Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
6 October – 5 November 2025

During this time, pilgrims come from far and wide to offer a lamp to Mother Yasoda and Lord Krishna, and also increase their spiritual activities. The importance of this month is described extensively in the scriptures, especially in Srila Rupa Goswami’s Mathura Mahatmya.
Every day, devotees come to the Temple and offer a candle to Lord Damodara and read Krishna book. The Damodarastakam, a series of eight beautiful verses by the great sage Satyavrata Muni, is sung daily in the morning and evening.

Daily Schedule

Morning – Candle offering – 7am – 7:20am
Evening – Candle offering – 4:20pm – 7:30pm
Krishna Book reading- Prabhupada’s Rooms – 7:30pm – 8:30pm
Notes:
Candles will be provided free of charge to everyone. Please do not bring your own candles, lamps or ghee wicks for offering. One candle per person.
Offerings will be paused between 6:30pm – 7pm as the curtains will be closed at this time. During this time there will be a special talk given on Krishna’s pastimes.
Children under 5 will not be given a candle. Children must be supervised at all times.
Offering times and locations may vary on festival days

Krishna Book Reading – 7:30pm-8:30pm , in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s darshan room.

This year at Bhaktivedanta Manor, during the whole month of Kartik, we will be reading from Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, book, famously known as the Krishna book. This is a Summary Study of Śrīla Vyāsadeva’s Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Tenth Canto, by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, Founder-Ācārya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Please come and join us in reading the stories about Lord Krishna in the very same rooms where Śrīla Prabhupāda translated many of his books.
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.1.1 purport: Wherever the Ganges waters go, they purify the land and the person who bathes in them. Similarly, kṛṣṇa-kathā, or the topics of Kṛṣṇa, are so pure that wherever they are spoken, the place, the hearer, the inquirer, the speaker and all concerned become purified.
Times and locations may vary on festival days

Listen to the story of Kartik

Created by Bhaktivedanta Players. Listen to the audio drama of Damodara-Lila, the story of Kartik.

Sadhu Sanga with Radhanath Swami
2025-10-06 18:30 - 21:00 | Sri Krishna Haveli, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
Monday 6 October 2025
Radhanath Swami is one of today’s most beloved and respected spiritual teachers. He spent his youth wandering through disparate countries and cultures yearning for an experience of truth; after finally meeting his spiritual teacher in India he has spent the last 50 years internalising that spiritual practice and sharing it with others. He is not only a guide, but a community builder, activist, and a New York Times Best selling author. Rooted in his study of ancient India’s mystic devotional tradition, Radhanath Swami’s message is as profound as it is simple: by cultivating a rich inner life of self-awareness and a genuine practice of service, we can become instruments of compassion and agents of sustainable change in the world.
Location: Sri Krishna Haveli
Time: 6:30pm onwards
Prasadam served from 5:30pm – 6:30pm

Diwali Darshan
2025-10-21 10:00 - 19:30 | Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
Tues 21 October 2025

Diwali celebrates the joyful day upon which Lord Rama returned to the kingdom of Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile. The name itself comes from Dipavali, a Sanskrit word referring to the countless rows of lamps which His citizens had lit throughout the kingdom to welcome Him back home (dipa means “lamp, light or candle,” and avali means “rows”). During a different era, this was also the day when Lord Krishna performed His childhood pastime of breaking pots of yogurt and letting His mother bind Him with rope.
The Diwali festival will be celebrated on 19th October at the temple.
On 21st October we will not be having festivities, the temple will remain open for darshan for all who want to come and take darshan.

Why should I give out books?

It is considered to be the real welfare work to share knowledge of the true human spirit with others – by sharing these books filled with timeless wisdom, it gives others an opportunity to realise and hear about Sri Krishna, the Personality of Godhead. They say sharing is caring, and in this mood, it is of great benefit to the recipient and the giver for the books of Srila Prabhupada to be shared far and wide.

I’m new to book distribution, can I get some training?

We offer friendly step by step training for anyone new to Book distribution. Also we will pair you with an experienced distributor so you learn the art on the go.
