With the approaching month of October (also known as Kartik or Damodar month), we are pleased to announce the dates of Dipawali and Govardhan Puja celebrations as per the above schedule.

During the month of Kartika (Oct 6th - Nov 5th 2017), every evening an offering of lights (deep dan) is made to Sri Sri Radha Govindji at ISKCON Funabori Temple. 

To the sweet singing of Damodarastakam kirtan and hari bhajan, it is a soulful experience to have darshan of Their Lordships.

Damodarashtakam describes Lord Sri Krishna's early childhood pastimes of running from his mother when she tried to punish Him for stealing butter.

In the special month of Kartik, devotees around the world chant these prayers every day.
