About the Festival
Celebrating the Advent of Lord Krishna
Janmashtami marks the appearance of Lord Sri Krishna, celebrated with fasting, devotional singing, discourses on the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam, and a midnight abhisheka ceremony. Devotees break their fast after midnight with maha-prasadam, having spent the day glorifying the Lord's pastimes.
Your support helps us host Janmashtami celebrations, prasadam distribution and outreach programs throughout the year.
