The sacred occasion of Sri Narasimha Jayanti, marking the divine appearance of Lord Narasimha, was joyously observed at both ISKCON Sri Radha Krishna Temple and ISKCON Vaikuntha Hill on 22 May 2024. Devotees sought the blessings and protection of Lord Narasimha through earnest prayers and heartfelt celebrations and fasted until dusk on this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The celebrations at ISKCON Sri Radha Krishna Temple began at 5:30 AM with a grand abhisheka to the mulavar Deity of Sri Prahlada Narasimha. The Lord was bathed with various substances such as panchamrita, panchagavya, fruit juices, and holy water from the kalashas, accompanied by various prayers and kirtans. Subsequently, devotees offered a special arati to the Lord, beautifully decorated with precious jewels and flower garlands. The morning celebrations included a sacred Narasimha Homa at 7:30 AM.<\/p>\n\n\n
