HARE KRSNA!

Dear Friends,

Hope this meets you all well. We extend a warm welcome to you and your family to join us for Radhashtami this Tuesday Sept 2nd and for  a three part seminar on Jiva Goswami on Sept 6th & Sept 7th. 

SEPTEMBER , 2nd - Grand Radhashtami Celebrations

After the grand Janmashtami festival, we are now looking forward and eagerly making arrangements to celebrate the auspicious appearance day festival of our divine mother, Srimati Radharani also known as Radhastami. Radharani is the consort of Krishna. She appeared to Vrishabhanu Maharaj (her father) in the village of Rawal a fortnight after Krishna’s appearance.

Radharani’s special qualification is that She is the best devotee of Krishna. Krishna therefore loves Her the most. On Her festival day, devotees seeking Krishna’s grace will especially ask Her to grant them devotion to Her beloved Lord, knowing that if they can attain Her favor, they can attain His as a natural consequence. Radhastami is the only day in the entire year when the devotees get an opportunity to take darshan of the beautiful lotus feet of Srimati Radharani.
