SUMMARY:Appearance of Lord Balarama
DESCRIPTION:Monday 19 August 2024\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.

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.

SUMMARY:Jhulan Yatra
DESCRIPTION:Fri 16 – Mon 19 August 2024\n\nThe four-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:'Srila Prabhupada' The Divine Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Date: Sat 27 & Sun 28 July 2024\nTime: 10am-7pm each day \nLocation: Bhakti Lounge (near the Temple Room)\nYou are cordially invited to the exclusive opening of Srila Prabhupada: The Divine Art Exhibition\, a magnificent showcase by the esteemed artist Haridas Thakur Das. This is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the exquisite collection of oil paintings\, featuring profound portraits of Srila Prabhupada\, alongside mesmerising depictions of other revered devotees and Lord Krishna. \nAbout Haridas Thakur Das \nHaridas Thakur Das\, a visual arts graduate with extensive experience in research\, education\, art\, and spirituality\, has dedicated many years as a monk at the Radha Gopinath Temple in downtown Mumbai. His life’s mission has been to promote spiritual wellbeing in society\, inspired by his spiritual master\, HH Radhanath Swami. \nFrom an early age\, Haridas was captivated by art and painting\, receiving training from his devout father\, a talented artist. His brief time in the industry introduced him to the philosophy of Bhakti Yoga\, merging his passions for art and spirituality. This fusion led him to join the Mumbai monastery\, where he embarked on a project to illustrate the pastimes and incarnations of Lord Krishna\, now beautifully displayed on the walls of the Radha Gopinath Temple. \nDriven by a missionary spirit and inspired by the life and teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada\, Haridas has created over 50 oil paintings and authored “Illustrations and Illuminations\,” a book featuring his depictions of Srila Prabhupada and an artistic exploration of Vedic theology. His artwork\, characterised by detailed characters\, vibrant shades\, and unique perspectives\, brings a divine essence to his subjects. \nDrawing inspiration from Bhakti texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam\, as well as celebrated artists such as Raja Ravi Varma\, S.M. Pandit\, Rembrandt\, and William-Adolphe Bouguereau\, Haridas merges classical and spiritual influences in his work.\nIn addition to sharing his artistic knowledge with enthusiasts\, Haridas also teaches contemporary wisdom from Bhakti texts at prestigious institutions like the JJ School of Art and to members of the Indian Navy and Army in Mumbai. \nFree to attend

SUMMARY:London Rathayatra
DESCRIPTION:Sunday 21 July 2024 – Hyde Park Corner\n\n“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. \nRatha-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. \nThe London procession starts from Hyde Park Corner\, goes through Park Lane\, Piccadilly and Haymarket and finally arrives at Trafalgar Square\, where festivities continue till night. Drama\, dance\, philosophy and a feast are the highlights. \nLondon Rathayatra will take place on Sunday 21 July 2024 (www.rathayatra.co.uk) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Schedule\n\n12pm – Ratha-yatra parade starts from Hyde Park Corner heading for Trafalgar Square \n2-5pm – Trafalgar Square – Kirtan\, Dance\, Prasad \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\nHow do I get there?\n\n\n\nComing by Train & Tube\nFrom any of the main London railway stations come on the Piccadilly Line and get off at Hyde Park Corner. When you come out of the tube station head for the south-east corner of the Park. The Rathayatra assembles near there so look out for the tall brightly coloured canopies of the Rath Carts. \nNational Rail Enquiries for rail information. \nComing by Road\nParking on Sunday is OK on single yellow lines in Westminster or you can stay safe with the NCP car parks. There is one just north of Trafalgar Square. Please remember there is no parking at the assembly point in Hyde Park nor any at Trafalgar Square. \nThe AA main routes and parking information. The procession assembles just inside Hyde Park -500 yards west of Hyde Park Corner. You will clearly spot the three colourful carts as you approach. There are three or four kirtan (singing and instrument) sections\, each with dancers. You can pull the ropes on the cart (which bestows liberation) but please follow the instructions of stewards and staff. The cart leaves Hyde Park promptly at mid-day and arrives at Trafalgar Square around 2.30pm.

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:Disappearance of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur
DESCRIPTION:Friday 5 July 2024\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. \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\n4:30pm Kirtan & Bhajans \n5:30pm Class \n6:30pm Pushpanjali (Offering of flowers ceremony) & Guru Puja \n7pm Gaura Arati \n7:30pm Drama by the Bhaktivedanta Players \nPrasadam (Sri Krishna Haveli)\n5:30pm-6:30pm \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.

SUMMARY:Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi
DESCRIPTION:Monday 17 June 2024 | Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMorning Program (Temple Room) \n4:30am – Mangal Arati\n7:00am – Darshan & Guru Puja\n7:30am – Class \nEvening Program (Temple Room) \n5pm – Kirtan & Glories of Ekadasi\n7pm –  Gaura / Sandhya Arati\n7:30pm – Kirtan\n9pm – Shayan Arati\n9:30pm – Finish \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	Frequently asked questions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill there be parking available?\n\n\n\nYes.
