SUNDAY, NOV 11 -  SRILA PRABHUPADA DISAPPEARANCE DAY FESTIVAL

Srila Prabhupada departed from this world in Vrindavan dham, India, on the 14th of November 1977. One would not usually celebrate the disappearance day of a person, especially one so loved and revered as Srila Prabhupada. However, the departure of a pure Vaishnava gives cause for jubilation because he returns to his eternal service at Krishna's lotus feet in Goloka Vrindavan, the spiritual world. Although Srila Prabhupada is no longer physically with us, on the spiritual platform he is very much present. He is present in his deity form, in his books and through his instructions. His mercy is available to all those who seek it.

Please join us to celebrate the Disappearance Day of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

Srila Prabhupada Disappearance Day Schedule

3:00pm Lecture on Glories of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada by H.G Akruranatha Prabhu
4:10pm Puspanjali

BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS - Chapter A Day (CHAD)

"As Arjuna set aside his bow and arrows, let us set aside any sense of confidence in our own abilities so that we may hear Krsna's words with full heart and attention.This kind of submissive hearing is the primary requirement for advancement in spiritual life. The devotee who hears Krsna's words with a submissive heart immediately feels an ingress of causeless knowledge and detachment." – H. G. Vaisesika Prabhu

CHAD is a worldwide alliance of devotees who chant at least one chapter of Bhagavad-gita As It Is every day. 

Make a vow to recite Bhagavad-Gita Chapter 5 every day from  24 Oct 2018 to 22 Nov 2018. 

Recite with devotees by joining daily conference calls
