Dear Friends,

Hare Krishna!

Govard­han Puja / Annukuta Festival

Govard­han Puja - Saturday November 12

Please join us for the won­der­ful fes­ti­val where we recre­ate with sweets Govard­hana hill (the sacred hill located in Vrn­da­vana, U.P. India which was lifted by the lit­tle fin­ger of Lord Krishna five thou­sand years ago).
It is said in the scrip­tures that one who walks around this hill of sweets gets the same ben­e­fit of doing parikrama (walk­ing pil­grim­age) of the actual hill.
This fes­ti­val is tremen­dous fun and highly rec­om­mended.

We invite every­one to pre­pare some­thing for mak­ing the hill. (Please ensure stan­dard rules for prepar­ing Deity offer­ings, No onion and garlic.)
If you have any ques­tions, please con­tact Vanamali Gopal Das at 412-725-3442.
