About

“Everyone should follow the example of Jayananda. I am very proud that I had such a nice disciple. If possible Jayananda’s picture should be hung in the ratha of Lord Jagannatha, and in all of our temples a day may be set aside for holding a festival in his honor, just as we do on the disappearance day of the other great Vaisnavas.” – Srila Prabhupada Letter to Ramesvara, New Delhi, 11 May 1977
After the disappearance of Jayananda Das on May 1, 1977, His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada instructed devotees all over the world to commemorate the event every year as they would any great Vaishnava’s disappearance day.
Jayananda was always ready to do whatever was necessary to push on Krishna consciousness. He was expert at everything: cooking, preaching, Deity worship, public relations, sankirtan, selling incense, construction, and everything else it takes to run a temple. He was a tireless worker. He would be the first one up in the morning and the last one to sleep at night. It was Jayananda who was always running out to get the flowers, Jayananda who was washing dishes and making sure the kitchen was clean, Jayananda who was often missing class while he was out doing some service, and Jayananda who was always encouraging others to go out and preach, and setting the example himself.
Whatever assignment he was given, he would always get done, even if he had to suffer personally for it. No matter how hard he was working, he would never stop for a nap during the day. He seemed to be inexhaustible.

Appearance of Sri Nrisimhadeva
2025-05-11 | Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
Sunday 11 May 2025
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.

Disappearance of Sri Ramananda Ray
2025-05-17 16:00 - 19:30 | Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
Sat 17 May 2025

Ramananda Ray was a governor of South India and a great devotee of Krishna. When Lord Chaitanya went on His tour to South India, Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya told Him to meet Ramananda Ray. There the famous conversation took place in which Lord Chaitanya asked Ramananda Ray about the ultimate goal of life. Lord Chaitanya kept on urging him to say something higher, until finally he came to the understanding of pure love for Krishna. Ramananda Ray later gave up all his responsibilities and joined Lord Chaitanya in Jagannath Puri, spending many years as one of Lord Chaitanya’s closest associates. According to Vedic scriptures, He is considered to be an incarnation of Arjuna, the great warrior with whom Krishna spoke the Bhagavad-gita.

Appearance of Srimati Gangamata Goswamini
2025-06-05 16:00 - 19:30 | Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
Thurs 5 June 2025

Srimati Gangamata Goswamini was a princess. From childhood she had a great attachment to studying the Srimad Bhagavatam and to Krishna.
When she grew up, she refused to marry anyone, for her only attachment was to Krishna. After her parents passed away she went to Vrindavan and took shelter of the great devotee Haridas Pandit who accepted her as his disciple. She gave up all of her riches and comforts, and constantly practiced devotional service with great austerity despite being a princess.
Pleased with her mature devotion, Haridas Pandit requested her to go to Puri to spread devotional service and remain there. She started speaking on the Bhagavatam and soon became so adored for her narrations that even the King came to listen. The King later became her disciple being inspired by Lord Jagannatha in a dream.

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.

Disappearance of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur
2025-06-25 16:00 - 19:30 | Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
Wed 25 June 2025
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.
