🎉🌟🪇 Navratri Special 2026 🥁🌟🎉

Navratri | 11 October to 19 October 2026
 
One of most popular Indian festivals, Navratri (literally meaning ‘nine nights’) is celebrated every year with much fanfare in different parts of the country, and even around the world by the Hindu community. Technically, it is observed for nine nights and 10 days, during which, the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped. Upon the culmination of the nine-day period, Dussehra is celebrated, which is also believed to be the day that Lord Rama defeated King Ravana of Lanka in a battle between the forces of good and evil.

20 October 2026 | ☘️🌺🪔 Dussehra ☘️🏹🙏

Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is one of the most important Hindu festivals.
 
The name Dussehra is derived from Sanskrit Dasha-hara literally means Dashanan ravan (Name of devil & in short Dasha and Hara (defeat)) referring to Lord Rama's victory over the ten-headed demon king Ravana.

Lord Ramacandra’s victory over the demon Ravana. A large effigy of Ravana is ceremoniously burned.

21 October 2026 | 🍁 🍂 Appearance Day of Sri Madhvacharya 🍂 🍁 

Madhvacharya is the principal acharya, or spiritual teacher, in in the Brahma-sampradaya, the Vaisnava disciplic line from which the Gaudiya sampradaya descends.

He was born in Udupi, South India, in the early thirteenth century. At the age of five he took initiation and at the age of twelve left home to take sannyasa. Madhvacharya studied the Vedas under the compiler of the Vedas, Vyasadeva, in the Himalayas. Madhvacharya’s Vedanta- sutra commentary Purnaprajna-bhasya establishes the doctrine known as Suddha-dvaita-vada. Madhva used his erudite scholarship to crush the Mayavada (impersonalistic) philosophy and establish devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (See Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila 9.245.)

How Can We Keep Krishna in Our Thoughts Throughout the Day?

Hare Krishna everyone,I would love to hear how fellow devotees keep Krishna in their thoughts while managing everyday responsibilities.Sometimes, daily life becomes busy with work, family, and personal commitments, making it difficult to maintain a steady spiritual routine. Although we may begin the day with japa or reading Srila Prabhupada's books, our attention can easily shift toward worldly concerns.I believe that small habits, such as listening to devotional songs, remembering Krishna's…

Our source of inspiration


"Now we have got so many students and so many temples but I am fearful that if we expand too much in this way that we shall become weakened and gradually the whole thing will become lost. Just like milk. We may thin it more and more with water for cheating the customer, but in the end it will cease to be any longer milk. Better to boil the milk now very vigorously and make it thick and sweet, that is the best process. So let us concentrate on training our devotees very thoroughly in the knowledge of Krishna Consciousness from our books, from tapes, and in so many ways instruct them in the right propositions." - letter June 22, 1972 by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, founder acharya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)
