Gopashtami Special Darshan Today at the ISKCON Of Silicon Valley!

                            http://iskconsiliconvalley.com/

 

Dear Friends,

Hope this meets you all well. 

Today is Gopastami, the day Sri Krishna became a cowherd boy and also the day that Srimati Radharani dresses as a Gopa. On Gopashtami day, Nanda Maharaja performed a ceremony for the cows and Krishna (and His friends) in Vrindavan, as He reached the pauganda age. This was the day Nanda Maharaja sent his children Krishna and Balarama to herd the cows for the first time. It was a celebration meant only for men and boys. As Srimati Radharani and Her friends wanted to enjoy the fun, and because of Her resemblance to Subala-sakha, She put on his dhoti and garments and joined Krishna. The other gopis joined in too.

This is the only other day, besides Radhastami, that you can see Her Lotus Feet. We extend a warm invitation to all of you to come to ISV today and take the rare and special darshan of Srimati Radharani dressed as a Gopa. There will be a discourse followed by Sandhya Arati, Damodar Arati and Prasadam. Please do not miss this wonderful opportunity!
