If you simply do this then you shall become free from this material entanglement." - Srila Prabhupada

SUNDAY, February 1 - Sri Nityananda Trayodashi Festival

One of the sweetest festivals of the year, Sri Nityananda Trayodashi, the auspicious appearance day of Sri Nityananda Prabhu, falls on Sunday, Feburary 1, 2015. 

Lord Nityananda (also known as Nityananda Prabhu, Nitai, Nityananda Balarama) appeared hundreds of years ago as Lord Chaitanya’s principal associate for spreading the congregational chanting of the holy names of the Lord. He is considered an incarnation of Lord Balarama.

This festival is a special one for ISV and often features very sweet, intimate and spiritually-soaked festivities! Come join us as we celebrate Lord Nityananda through melodious kirtan, which will lead us straight to our Sunday Feast program that will feature a class, Abhishek, Arotik and a sumptous feast!

We take pleasure to invite you and your family to participate in this special festival and receive the mercy of Sri Nityananda Prabhu. We hope you will join us in serving Lord Nityananda Prabhu with your time, energy and donations.
