Invitation + Schedules
Dear Devotees,
To fulfill the wish of our beloved guide and well-wisher nitya-lila om visnupada Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayaṇa Gosvami Maharaja, we cordially invite you to Sri Vrndavana Dhama for Sri Vraja-mandala Parikrama this Kartika, 2023!
Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja’s hearts’ desire and great pleasure is that during Sri Vraja-mandala and Sri Navadvipa-dhama parikrama devotees from all over the world come together as a loving family and become immersed in sweet hari-katha, remembering the pastimes of Sri Sri Radha Krsna and Sri Gaura Nityananda Prabhu. This month-long immersion offers the opportunity of visiting and hearing about all of Radha Krsna’s transcendental pastime places in Vraja, of deepening our realization through hearing Vaisnavas’ recollections of the philosophical conclusions of Gaudiya Vaisnavism, of performing kirtana morning, noon and night, and of being in the company of sincere devotees from around the world.
Sri Vraja-mandala Parikrama 2023 begins on 28 Oct and ends on 27 Nov. This year again two main parikrama parties are being organized. One party will be lead by members of the International Gaudiya Vedanta Trust (IGVT), the other parikrama will be lead by Vedanta Samiti Trust (GVST)
Both parikramas will start from Vrindavan and continue in Govardhan, thus giving you plenty opportunity to visit the beautiful pastime places, be in wonderful association, fill your ears with nectarean Hari-katha from all the illustrious Vaisnavas and roll in the dust of Sri Vrindavan dham. The schedules, location and contact details are posted below.
You, your family and friends are all warmly invited for this month long parikrama of Sri Vraja-mandala.
“Think of Vrindavan with love, roll in the dust of Vrindavan, offer your entire body to the service of Vrindavan and thus develop firm love for Vrindavan, worship the birthplace of Srimati Radharani, and satisfy the moving and non-moving living entities who reside in Vrindavan. In this way take shelter of Vrindavan, the best of all holy places.” (Sri Vrindavan-mahimamrita)
