It is said in the scriptures, that even a moment of associaiton with such exalted saints will help one attain all success.

At ISV celebrations for Ramanavami include kirtans, discussion of Lord Rama’s pastimes and Arotikin. It is a popular occasion, as Lord Rama is very dear to many devotees.  During His activities while on Earth, Lord Rama demonstrated high moral values and acted as the perfect son, student, brother, husband and King.  His extraordinary adventure is marvellously depicted  in the famous epic The Ramayana. 4:30am Mangala Aarti 5:15am Japa 7:30am Greeting the Deities 7:45am Guru Puja 7:30am Bhamaha-Samhita Recitation and Glories of Lord Ramachandra by His Grace Vaisesika Dasa Adhikari 10:15am MSF Offering 10:30am Lord Rama Bhajans by Priya Kishori Devi Dasi 11:00am Glories of Lord Ramachandra by His Grace Akruranatha Prabhu 12:00pm RajBhoga Aarti 01:00pm Prasadam If you would like to sponsor or donate for any part of the festival, please write to us at isvconnect@gmail.com SUNDAY, March 29 - Ramayana: A Tale of Selfless Service As soon as we hear the word “Ramayana” – immediately we think of the divine forms of Sita and Rama, how Rama was banished from Ayodhya, his travels in the forest of Dandakaranya and a great battle with the demon King of Lanka, Ravana. However in this talk, we will bring out the hidden jewels of this epic tale, the glorious character of the selfless servants of Sita and Rama – Jatayu, Bharata, Laxman, Vibhishana, Hanuman, and the list goes on.  Please join us in understanding and learning from the lives of these servants to help us in refining our own devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. 4:00pm - 5:45pm:  "Ramayana: A Tale of Selfless Service" by H.G Harivamsa Das 6.00pm: Sandhya Aartik followed by Announcements and Prasadam If you would like to sponsor a Sunday Feast, to commemorate a special occasion (like birthday or wedding anniversary) or just in general, please write to us at isvconnect@gmail.com.
