SUMMARY:Govardhan Puja - New Year - Annakut
DESCRIPTION:Happy New Year – Govardhan Puja – Go Puja – Go Krda \nThe tenth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam relates many of Krishna’s pastimes. \nOf these\, “The Lifting of Govardhan Hill” is one of our most important. It tells the story of how Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill in Vrindavan for seven days and seven nights\, balancing it on the tip of his small finger and thus providing a huge umbrella under which all the residents and animals of Vrindavan could find shelter from the devastating rainstorm sent by Lord Indra (god of rain and king of heaven) upon their village. When Lord Indra realized that only the Supreme Lord could defeat him in such a mystical way\, he surrendered to Krishna. Traditionally\, this festival is celebrated by cooking large amounts of food offerings for the Deities. It is called Anna (grains) Kuta (mountain) and takes place on the day after Diwali.  \nSimply called “Mountains of Food Festival” – we encourage everyone to prepare bhoga and bring before 6 PM. All bhogas are prepared without garlic\, onion\, mushroom\, chocolate by using clean containers since these items are offered on the altar. \n\nKirtan & Aarti\nAbhisekh (Sri Giriraj Govardhan)\nDiscourse\nAnnakut Darshan\nSunday School Students’ Govardhan Puja\nPrasadam Feast

SUMMARY:Srila Prabhupada Disappearance Day
DESCRIPTION:Disappearance Day – Srila Prabhupada (Founder Acharya) \nSrila Prabhupada Ki Jai (Fast till Noon today) \nThe disappearance or appearance (birth) day of great souls are equally honored. The pure devotees live for Krishna or God\, and die for him. The famous prayer by Saint Francis\, states that by dying we are born into eternal life. Although we lament that we will not have the physically manifest presence of our guru or a certain saint in this lifetime\, we also feel happy that they are with Krishna. Prabhupada “left his body” (as we refer to death) in perfect Krishna consciousness and lived his life like that as well. We have no uncertainty about his auspicious destination\, and we pray to for that same perfection by following his example! \n“He reasons ill who says that Vaishnavas die\,When thou art living still in sound!The Vaishnavas die to live\, and living tryTo spread the holy name around.”[Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur]
