Launch of the First-ever Vaishnava Arts Event at the Festival of Inspiration
If you are feeling stagnant, want to learn a new skill, or just want to have a great time, then this Mother’s Day New Vrindaban has something very special for you!
Announcing the first-ever VAISHNAVA ARTS FESTIVAL (at the Festival of Inspiration) from Friday, May 6th through Sunday, May 8th, 2022.
Art is a crucial part of any culture, and in Vaishnava culture, all art is meant for the pleasure of Krishna. In Vrindaban, Srimati Radharani and her friends knew how to please Krishna through presentations of various arts.
Srila Prabhupada wrote: “Srimati Radharani was fully qualified in those [sixty-four] arts, and therefore, by Her super-excellent transcendental qualities, she could charm Krishna who is the charmer of the three worlds.”
(Letter to Syama Dasi in February, 1970)
For the pleasure of Krishna, devotees of all ages will be hosting workshops where you can learn a whole range of arts including fine art, literary, musical, culinary, and performing arts as well as the art of mediation. And a Mother’s Day special – the Art of Motherhood (and Fatherhood) in Krishna consciousaness.
The idea for this unique festival was conceived years ago by Kalakantha das, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, and was set to launch in 2020, but the pandemic delayed the plans.
Now, with great pleasure and anticipation, the event is finally ready for all to enjoy.
There will also be two ecstatic presentations about Srila Prabhupada by his direct disciples: “A Shower of Mercy” by Malati dasi and “ISKCON’s Founder-Acharya” by Suresvara das.
