Gaura-purnima is the most auspicious appearance day of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu - the Golden Avatar of Lord Krishna. The Lord appeared in His previous incarnations as Lord Krishna, Lord Rama, and Lord Nrsimhadeva but Lord Chaitanya is extra special for 'Gaudia Vaisnavas' (aka the Hare Krishna Movement) as He transformed the hearts of everyone He met through singing of the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra and re-establishing the Bhakti-yoga tradition.
His legacy is carried on to this day all over the world, a special gift by our Founder Srila Prabhupada who brought this ancient tradition from India to the whole world.
For the festival, in celebration, we a®e pleased to welcome again our very special guest - His Grace, Gaura Sundara das prabhu. Originally from Ukraine, Gaurasundara prabhu joined Kiev Temple in 2002 and became a full time monk (Brahmacari) and remained in that order ever since. He has lived in Temples all over the world, and regularly tours sharing Krishna Consciousness and teaching devotee courses in India, USA, Europe, South Africa.
We are so happy that Prabhu will give a talk about the festival and also we will be having a drama, illustrating the pastimes of His appearance and special ceremony for Lord Caitanya in His deity form, where lamp, incense, flowers are offered as we all sing and we will have ecstatic Kirtan, dancing and a special veggie/vegan feast at the end.
Please join us and we look forward to seeing you there!
