Sri Krishna Janmashtami is the appearance anniversary of Krishna, the Supreme Person. He’s not “born” like we are—He comes and goes as He likes—but He appears here to please His devotees, rid the earth of evildoers, and give the rest of us something worthwhile to talk about.

His pastime of janma, birth, occurred on the ashtami, eighth day of the waning moon in the lunar month of Hrishikesh. Janmashtami is one of the world’s biggest spiritual festivals, and is observed by followers of many faiths. For Krishna devotees, Janmashtami is a day of non-stop chanting, cooking, worship of Krishna in His Deity form, and fasting until midnight, when a grand feast is served.

Many Brighton devotees will be making a trip to Crawley this evening to celebrate there at the Bhakti Yoga Centre. Please join us!

Details:

“Festivities will begin at 7:30pm until midnight which is the time Krishna appeared to embrace the world with love, protection and spiritual wisdom.
