Sri Krishna Janmastami
Janmashtami is the divine appearance day of Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Over 5,000 years ago, He descended in Mathura to protect the devotees, destroy evil, and share the eternal message of love and devotion.
Krishna is the eighth son of Devaki and Vasudeva. Krishna was born within a prison in Mathura, India where his parents were constrained by his uncle, Kamsa.
Sri Radhastami
Radhashtami is the day when Srimati Radharani, the eternal beloved of Lord Krishna, appeared in this world in Raval, near Gokul.
Her appearance is the advent of maha-bhava, the highest expression of divine love. On this day, devotees honor the Supreme Goddess of devotion, the embodiment of compassion, and the queen of Vrindavan—Sri Radha.
Sri Narasimha Caturdasi
Narsimha Chaturdashi marks the appearance day of Lord Narsimhadeva, the fierce half-man, half-lion incarnation of Lord Krishna who appeared to protect His devotee Prahlada Maharaja and destroy the demon Hiranyakasipu. It is a powerful reminder of the Lord’s protection and the triumph of devotion.
Sri Rama Navami
Rama Navami marks the divine appearance of Lord Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who embodies righteousness (dharma), duty, and unwavering devotion.
It is a time to reflect on Lord Rama's divine qualities and His teachings on dharma (righteousness), bhakti (devotion), and ideal living, inspiring all to walk the path of virtue.
Sri Gaura Purnima
Gaur Purnima marks the appearance day of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the golden avatar of compassion and devotion, who taught the world the transformative power of Harinaam Sankirtan (chanting the Holy Names).
Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krishna Himself, appearing as His own devotee, to teach us that we can attain spiritual perfection simply by chanting the Holy names of the Lord.
Sri Nityanand Trayodashi
Nityananda Trayodashi is a significant festival in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition, celebrated on the 13th day of the bright half of the month of Magha. This festival commemorates the appearance day of Nityananda Prabhu, the beloved associate and spiritual brother of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. It is a special day dedicated to Lord Nityananda, who is an incarnation of Balarama and the eternal associate of Lord Chaitanya.

Damodar Month (Kartik)
Among the twelve months, Kartik holds a special place, especially for devotees immersed in the love for Lord Krishna. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna refers to himself as the "Margashirsha" among the months, highlighting the importance of Kartik Maas. This month is particularly cherished because it is presided over by Shrimati Radha Rani, the beloved consort of Lord Krishna. The name "Kartik" is derived from one of Radha Rani's names, "Kartika," signifying her deep connection with this sacred month.
Diwali & Govardhan Puja
Dipavali, also known as the Festival of Lights. In the Vaishnava tradition, this day holds deep spiritual meaning, especially connected with Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya.
On Govardhana Puja, we remember how Lord Sri Krishna lifted Govardhana Hill to protect the residents of Vrindavan from the wrath of Indra. This pastime teaches us the power of surrender, the sweetness of the Lord’s protection, and the joy of loving service.
