'Gaura Poornima' Celebrations on March 27 at 4:30pm

 

Dear Devotees,

 

 

Hare Krishna !!!

 

Please make all attempts to attend the 'Abhishekam' Ceremony of the Lord and review UPCOMING EVENTS

 

Gaura Purnima: What day can be more auspicious than the appearance day of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu? He is Krishna Himself appearing in His most merciful manifestation to bestow freely upon all without any restriction pure love of Godhead. It is up to us to now take full advantage of His unlimited mercy and easily qualify ourselves to go back to home, back to Godhead at the end of this lifetime. The wonderful mercy of Lord Caitanya and His associates is described as follows in the Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chapter Seven, Verse 163:

 

ei pañca-tattva-rūpe śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya

kṛṣṇa-nāma-prema diyā viśva kailā dhanya

 

"Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates of the Pañca-tattva distributed the holy name of the Lord to invoke love of Godhead throughout the universe, and thus the entire universe was thankful."
