Diwali Greetings and Sri Govardhan Puja/Annakut Festival- Welcome to ISV!

WEEKLY UPDATES: OCT 24 - OCT 31, 2016 Dear Friends, Hope this meets you all well. We wish you all a very happy and prosperous Diwali 2016! Diwali, or the Festival of Lights, marks the Hindu New Year, and is associated with many of the Supreme Lord’s pastimes on earth. Diwali is the best known of Vedic holidays and is today marked by events in places as varied as ISKCON temples and America’s White House. This day is most notable because it marks the return of Lord Rama, an incarnation of Krishna, to his kingdom of Ayodhya, after his defeat of the evil king Ravana. Rama was welcomed by all the citizens who lit lamps or dipas illuminating the sky for his joyous return. It also marks a day during Lord Krishna’s advent when He dispatched the demoniac Narakasura. The day after Diwali is called Govardhan Puja and with the mercy of Lord Krsna, we celebrate it with pomp and show every year. Therefore while lighting the earthen lamps this Diwali, let us also light our heart with divine wisdom and love! We extend a warm welcome to you and your family to join us for the classes and events this week at ISV! “The thoughts of My pure devotees dwell in Me, their lives are fully devoted to My service, and they derive great satisfaction and bliss from always enlightening one another and conversing about Me.” (Bhagavad-gita 10.9).  This week we have: Wednesday: "An Evening of Kirtan"  - Special Kartika month Kirtans Saturday : "Nectar of Devotion - Special Seminar Series: Part 1" - Presentation by H.G Srivas Pandit Das          Sunday:   "Illuminate Your Heart this Diwali" - Sunday Feast Talk by H.G Sundarananda Das Monday:   "Sri Govardhan Puja" Festival Celebrations Watch us Live! In case you are unable to make it, you can also join us through audio conference or watch live broadcast. The details are available at www.IskconSiliconValley.com.   OCT 26, WEDNESDAY : AN EVENING OF KIRTAN Join us tonight for a special Kirtan chants event led by our own in-house musicians. Open you heart, chant the holy names and experience divine bliss! 6:00pm: "An Evening of Kirtan" - Special Kartika Month Kirtans 7:30pm: Sandhya Arati, Damodarastakam followed by Prasadam   OCT 29, SATURDAY: NECTAR OF DEVOTION SEMINAR We cannot be happy without satisfying our fundamental desire to love. Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu (also known as Nectar of Devotion) is a Vaishnava classic written by Srila Rupa Goswami that analyzes the various stages of bhakti (devotion) as a methodical practice resulting in love of God. Rupa Goswami uses a metaphor comparing an ocean (sindhu) to a devotional relationship with God. The title of the book conveys that loving relationships are enjoyable like sweet nectar and deep like an ocean. However, devotion is truly only meant for the supreme beloved, Krishna. This is a special seminar series which will help us deep dive into understanding the divine intricacies of spiritual love and develop an intimate relationship with Sri Krsna.  7.30am: "Nectar of Devotion Seminar Series : Part 1" -  Presentation by H.G Srivas Pandit Das 10:00am: Guru puja followed by Prasadam   OCT 30, SUNDAY: DIWALI SPECIAL LECTURE Please accept our heartfelt Diwali wishes to you and your family! Apart from being a historical reality, Diwali also has immense relevance to our lives. Historically, the importance of Diwali is not the lighting of lamps, but the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya. So our celebration of Diwali will remain incomplete if we continue to restrict ourselves to lighting lamps. Then how can we welcome the Lord back into our hearts and experience the essence of Diwali? Join us as we hear the glories of Lord Ramachandra and the significance of Diwali this Sunday evening at ISV. Therefore while lighting the earthen lamps this Diwali, let us also light our heart with divine wisdom and love! We cordially welcome to our Sunday feast program this week which includes Kirtan, Krishna Katha, Arotik and delicious prasadam! 4:00pm: "Illuminate Your Heart this Diwali" - Sunday feast talk by H.G Sundarananda Das 6.00pm: Damodarastakam, Sandhya Arotik 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. We will offer the bhoga to the Deities and serve prasadam to all the devotees in your name. Donation amount for the Sunday Feast is $301 only   OCT 31, MONDAY: SRI GOVARDHAN PUJA Govardhana Puja is celebrated the day after Diwali to commemorate the pastime of Lord Sri Krishna lifting the Govardhana Hill to protect the residents of Vrindavana from the wrath of Indra. At ISV, on this day, a small hill of sweets is made from food prepared by the devotees, which is then offered to the Deities, and subsequently distributed to everyone.

Kartika is the best, the purest of purifiers, and most glorious of all month and is particularly dear to Lord Krsna. Sri Sri Damodarastakam is sung during Kartika, also known as month of Damodara. As quoted in the Sri Hari Bhakti Vilasa," In the month of Kartika one should wprship Lord Damodara and daily recite the prayer known as Damodarastaka, which has been spoken by Sage Satyavratra and which attracts Lord Damodara. (Sri Hari Bhakti Vilasa 2.16.198)" 

We extend a warm welcome to you and your family to join us for the classes and events this week at ISV!

Skanda Purana describes the month of Kartika as the topmost of all other months. It is the most meritorious and purified of all other pure months. There is no other month equal to Kartika and there is no other yuga equal to Krtayuga. There is no other scripture equal to Vedas. There is no other place of pilgrimage equal to Ganges, therefore, the month of Kartika is very dear to the Vaisnavas. If one offers a lamp during the month of Kartika, his sins of many thousands and millions of births perish in half an eye blink.

Sri Sri Damodarastakam is sung during Kartika, also known as month of Damodara. As quoted in the Sri Hari Bhakti Vilasa,"In the month of Kartika one should wprship Lord Damodara and daily recite the prayer known as Damodarastaka, which has been spoken by Sage Satyavratra and which attracts Lord Damodara.
