This Friday, as we progress through the Holy month of Kartik, we will observe Govardhana Puja, commemorating the divine pastime of Lord Sri Krishna lifting the Govardhana Hill to shield the cherished residents of Vrindavana from the fierce wrath of Indra, the king of the celestial demigods.
We are so pleased to have again as our special guest speaker, Nrsimha Kavaca das prabhu, senior devotee, teacher & ISKCON Deity Worship Minister, and seasoned practitioner of Bhakti Yoga for over 40 years, who will speak on this topic, sharing realisations and sacred truths on this precious pastime, outlined in the Srimad Bhagavatam (Bhagavat Purana).
This profound episode, known as Govardhana Lila, teaches us that a devotee, surrendered to the Supreme Lord and immersed in devotional service, is liberated from all obligations and doesn't need to seek material favours from demigods. Indra, recognizing his transgression, humbly sought forgiveness from Krishna. This timeless tale of devotion and divine protection is also vividly narrated in 'Srila Prabhupada's summary work known as 'Krishna Book'
We will have a special puja to a deity of Govardhan and as usual we will also have Kirtan (chanting with musical instruments) -the most effective method of self-realisation for this age- and finish with a Veggie/Vegan Spiritual Feast, with a special decorated sweet pudding (Halava) version of Govardhan Hill.
We look forward to seeing you there!
