Janmashtami Celebrations August 24 & 26

On Saturday, August 24, we will have a long Kirtan meditation for Bhagavan Krishna from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. There will be a 30 minute break at 1 p.m. and group Energization Exercises at 9:40 a.m.  

On Monday, August 26, we will celebrate Janmashtami, a Commemorative Service honoring the birth of Bhagavan Krishna. The service will begin at 8 p.m. and will be preceded by a silent meditation from 7 – 7:45 p.m. During the meditation, ushers will allow late arrivals to enter quietly. It is customary to bring a flower and a monetary offering in an envelope as symbols of our devotion and loyalty to Krishna and the lineage of SRF Gurus.
