Kartika se slavi u Puranama kao posebno važna za duhovno napredovanje, a najbolje je mjesto za provesti vrijeme Kartike Sri Braja Dham. Ovaj je mjesec poznat kao Damodar, jer je sredinom ovog mjeseca Gospodin izveo vrlo dražesnu Damodar Lilu. Kartika mjesec isto tako predstavlja Radharani, i bhakte provode posebne strogosti kako bi pridobili njenu naklonost.

S velikom srećom u našim srcima, pozivamo vas da se pridružite povoljnom Kartika festivalu u Vrindavanu. Organizirali smo mnoštvo prekrasnih parikrama oko svetih mjesta Krišninih zabava u Braji za svih vas.

Skoro svaki dan odlazit ćemo busom koji polazi u 7 ujutro i vraćat ćemo se u vrijeme ručka oko 3 popodne, osim ako se drukčije ne dogovorimo. Ponekad ćemo se pridružiti Parikrami Braja Mandala Lokanatha Swamija koja slavi 25. godišnjicu, i uživati u društvu puno bakta koji se kreću Brajom pješice. Karte će biti dostupne u renoviranom informacijskom centru pored hrama, a svi Srila Prabhupadini učenici i pridruženi im članovi obitelji moći će ući besplatno!

Dan 30. studenog je Festival Dana Odlaska Njegove Božanske Milosti A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupade i pozivamo svih da dođu i uveličaju ovu svetu prigodu s nama u Sri Vrindavanu, gdje Njegova Svetost sjedi u samadhiju. Prethodno ovom danu, svake će večeri stariji učenici pričati o svojim uspomenama na Srila Prabhupadu. Jedan dan ranije, nosit ćemo Srila Prabhupadu u istoj nosiljci iz 1977.  za veliku Sankirtan procesiju pored svih Goswami hramova u Vrindavanu.

Sri Sri Krishna Balaram Mandir Kartika Parikrama Schedule

Kartika is glorified in the Puranas as very special for making spiritual
advancement and the best place to be in Kartika is Sri Braja Dham. In fact this
month is known as Damodar, since in the middle of this month, the Lord
performed His very enchanting Damodar Lila. Kartika month also represents
Radharani, and devotees perform special austerities to gain Her favor.

With great happiness in our hearts, we invite everyone to join in the
auspicious Kartika Festival in Vrindavan. We have organized a wonderful variety
of parikramas to the Holy Places of Krishna's pastimes in Braja for all of you.
Almost daily, we will be going by bus leaving at 7 AM and returning in time for
lunch around 3 PM, unless otherwise noted. Sometimes we will also join up with
Lokanatha Swami's Braja Mandala Parikrama, which is celebrating their 25th
anniversary, and enjoy the association of the many devotees who will be
wandering around Braja on foot. Tickets will be available from the newly
renovated Information Center next to the temple, and all of Srila Prabhupada's
disciples and accompanied family members are free!

The 30th of November is the Holy Disappearance Day Festival of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and we extend a warm invitation to all to come and commemorate this sacred occassion with us in Sri Vrindavan, where His Divine Grace is sitting in Samadhi. Leading up to this day, every evening, senior disciples will be relating their memories of Srila Prabhupada. One day before, we will take Srila Prabhupada in the very same palanquin from 1977 for a grand Sankirtan Procession past all the Goswami temples in Vrindavan.
