Dear Devotees and Friends,
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009 is a very auspicious day. It is the day of the divine appearance of Sri Balaramji, the elder brother of Lord Krishna. On this day the practicing Vaishnavas observe fasting till noon (1200hrs).
At Sri Sri Radha Govinda Mandir, this festival will be celebrated starting at 6:00pm. The program will include an Abhishek of Lord Balarama at 7:00pm, followed by a lecture on the pastimes & glories of Lord Balarama, concluding with a sumptuous vegetarian dinner feast for all. We invite all of you along with your family & friends to participate in this festival and relish the ecstatic melodious bhajans & kirtans.
Furthermore, on this day, we will also celebrate the Jhulan Yatra festival of Sri Sri Radha Govinda, also starting at 7:00pm.
If you would like more information on the festival, and how you can help and/or sponsor any part of the festival, please contact the temple @ (718) 875-6127.
Your Servants,
