For the first time at The Mantra Room:
Govardhan Puja
The Festival of Divine Shelter.
This famous festival has been celebrated for thousands of years in temples, towns, villages, communities and homes with wonderful chanting, dancing and feasting. Govardhan Puja festival celebrates the transcendental love and protection that the Supreme Soul offers to everyone. It reminds us that He is perfectly capable of lifting the burdens that we carry on our shoulders and in our hearts. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna tells Arjuna and all of us, “Do not fear, I will give you all protection.” This promise is wonderfully fulfilled in the famous history of Govardhan Puja, one of the most celebrated pastimes of Lord Sri Krishna when Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill to protect His dear friends, the village people of Vrindavan from devastating rainfall.
Bring your friends and family and experience the magic and beauty of this most sacred occasion for yourself. All welcome.
