Friday 9th May - Lord Nrsimhadev appearance with special guest HG Adi Guru das

This Friday we will be celebrating the appearance of a special Avatar of Krishna - Lord Nrsimhadev.

This form of Lord Krishna is quite unique and as the name suggests, (Nara = Human, Simha = Lion) his form is a combination of lion and human — face of a lion and body of a man. He is known as the divine protector because he removes all obstacles that can hamper a devotee’s spiritual progress.

To honour the occasion, we are please to have special guest - His Grace Adi Guru das prabhu,  senior devotee and experienced practitioner of Bhakti Yoga, a great raconteur and motivational speaker. He has extensively travelled sharing Krishna Consciousness and inspiring devotees with his engaging and enlivening talks, roaring Kirtans and exciting stories and we are very fortunate to have him as our special guest again here in Brighton for our festival.

There will be a special talk on the lila (divine play) of Lord Nrsimhadev and his devotee Prahlad, an Aarti (offering ceremony) and sing a special Bhajan for Lord Nrsimhdev - click HERE for the words.

'I offer my respectful obeisances unto Lord Nrsimhadeva, the source of all power. O my Lord who possess nails and teeth just like thunderbolts, kindly vanquish our demonlike desires for fruitive activity in this material world. Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that by Your mercy we may become fearless in the struggle for existence in this material world.' Srimad Bhagavatam 5.18.8

As usual we will also have Kirtans (chanting with musical instruments) and finish with a Veggie/Vegan Spiritual Feast.

We look forward to seeing you there!
