Krishnashtami 2023 - ISKCON Vijayawada

Janmashtami, the jubilant celebration of Lord Krishna's appearance, is adorned with a multitude of splendours that carry deep spiritual and cultural significance. ISKCON Vijayawada is poised to honour this festival in a grand manner through a three-day event held at our Radha Shyam Sundar temple and Jagannatha temple. As a component of this festive observance, we are organizing a myriad of events to delight the Lord, encompassing Mangala Aratis, soul-stirring kirtans, reverential Abhishekam ceremonies, vibrant Dhahi Handi festivities, captivating fancy dress competitions, enlightening discourses, culturally enriching programs, and the gratifying service of distributing prasadam to all the devoted attendees. The purpose of our celebrations is to disseminate the teachings of Lord Krishna and his ine endeavours. As Lord Krishna states in the Bhagavad Gita, 4.9 "One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna." We serve as conduits for the propagation of Lord Krishna's timeless teachings, which hold significance regardless of the era, enabling all to embrace and embody them, thereby ensuring the fulfilment of their lives. In light of this, we wholeheartedly extend an invitation to each and every inidual to join us in this magnificent festival and immerse themselves in the abundant wellspring of spiritual ecstasy.
