janma karma ca me divyam
evaḿ yo vetti tattvataḥ
tyaktvā dehaḿ punar janma
naiti mām eti so 'rjuna
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.
Janmastami is the Vaisnavas' most important and significant festival of the year. It is held in celebration of the birthday of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna, Himself.
This year we invite you to come with your whole family and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to get the blessings of Sri Sri Radha Vrindaban Chandra. You will have the chance to offer a very special Kalash Abhishek. Then witness the Lord, beautifully dressed in His most opulent, attractive attire, as He rides majestically in His famous Swan Boat on the New Vrindaban lake. Enjoy the elaborate Fireworks. Finally, savor a wonderful Prasadam Dinner Banquet.
Lord Krishnaâ's bathing ceremony called Abhishek is witnessed by all attendees while Kalash sponsors personally assist the temple pujaris by handing over the Pancha Dravya, the sacred bathing liquids.
Funds collected from Janmashtami are specifically used to render service to Lord Krishna, His devotees and the cows during winter months.
