DEITY DEPARTMENT Extra day opened up for service by community members
From Saturday 27th February, the Deity Department allowed members of the community to come for pujari services on Saturdays. This means that both Saturdays and Sundays are now open for devotees living outside the temple to come and render pujari services. Below is a selection of special darshans outside of the usual Temple festivals.

Vasant Panchami – Tuesday 16th February
Vasant Panchami marks the beginning of spring. The sastric instruction is that on the fifth day of the waxing moon, one should celebrate the arrival of spring in Vrindavana by offering many types of flowers to Krishna. Inspired by this festival which is celebrated with great beauty in ISKCON temples in India, flowers were sponsored and extra flower garlands and ornaments made for a special Vasant Panchami darshan for Their Lordships’ pleasure.
