🙏 Purification & Prayaschitta
🕉️ Rishi Tarpana
📖 Renewal of Vedic study
🌿 Recommitment to Gayatri, Sandhya and Dharma

The Shared Message of Raksha Bandhan & Upakarma

Although their rituals are different, both observances carry a beautiful common teaching.

Raksha Bandhan reminds us of our responsibility towards one another.

Upakarma reminds us of our responsibility towards Dharma, the Rishis and sacred knowledge.

One strengthens our relationships, while the other strengthens our spiritual discipline.

Raksha Bandhan reminds us of our responsibility towards one another.

Upakarma reminds us of our responsibility towards Dharma, the Rishis and sacred knowledge.

One strengthens our relationships, while the other strengthens our spiritual discipline.

Together they remind us that Hindu Dharma does not separate worldly and spiritual life. A meaningful life requires us to honour both:

💞 Prem — Love
🤝 Kartavya — Duty
🛡️ Raksha — Protection
🙏 Dharma — Righteous living
📖 Svadhyaya — Sacred study
🕉️ Sadhana — Spiritual discipline

May this sacred Shravana Purnima strengthen the bonds within our families, renew our commitment to Dharma and inspire us to preserve and practise the timeless wisdom entrusted to us by our Rishis.

May all be happy and may all be free from suffering.

Celebrating the 5253rd Divine Appearance of Lord Shri Krishna

WEEK-LONG SHRI KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI CELEBRATIONS 2026 🦚
Saturday, 29 August – Friday, 4 September 2026

join us for Janmashtami katha

This year we joyfully celebrate the 5253rd Birth Anniversary of Bhagwan Shri Krishna with a week dedicated to Bhakti, Kirtan, Puja, Katha and reflection on the eternal teachings of Shri Krishna.

🌸 Shri Krishna Janmashtami: Friday, 4 September 2026
🌙 Janmotsav: Celebrated at midnight on the night of 4 September

🌼 A Week of Bhakti & Celebration

Throughout the week, devotees are encouraged to celebrate Shri Krishna through:

🎶 Bhajans & Kirtans — singing the divine names and glories of Shri Krishna.

🙏 Special Puja, Abhishek & Aarti — offering flowers, fruits, sweets and heartfelt devotion to Bhagwan.

📖 Bhagavad Gita & Shrimad Bhagavatam — reflecting upon Krishna's divine life, teachings and message for humanity.

🦚 Krishna Leela, Jhankis & Cultural Programs — remembering the beautiful leelas of Bal Krishna, Gokul, Vrindavan, Govardhan and Ras Leela.

🌙 Janmashtami Midnight Celebration — welcoming the divine appearance of Shri Krishna with mantra, bhajan, puja, abhishek and joyous chanting of His holy name.

The Spiritual Journey of Janmashtami

Janmashtami is much more than the celebration of Krishna's birth. It is an invitation to awaken Krishna-consciousness within our own hearts.

Over these seven days, let us reflect upon:

Day 1 — Janmashtami: The Purpose & Mystery of Divine Incarnation
Why does Bhagwan take Avatar?

Day 2 — Destroying the Demons Within
Overcoming kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, mada and mātsarya.

Day 3 — Devatva & Danavatva
Recognising the divine and negative tendencies within human nature.

Day 4 — Shri Krishna: The Ideal of Divine Living
Learning from Krishna's character, compassion, wisdom and actions.

Day 5 — Who Can Reach Shri Krishna?
Adhikār, pātratā, śraddhā, prema and samarpan.

Day 6 — Bhakti & Mukti
Lessons from Dhruva, Prahlāda, Parīkṣit and Sudāmā.

Day 7 — Krishna Avatar & the Establishment of Dharma
Understanding the timeless message:

“Yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati Bhārata…”
Whenever Dharma declines, the Divine manifests to restore righteousness.

The Message of Shri Krishna janmashtami

Krishna teaches us to:

🌿 Love without discrimination
⚖️ Live according to Dharma
🤝 Create unity amidst diversity
💪 Face life's challenges with courage
🙏 Perform our duties without selfish attachment
❤️ Live with compassion, devotion and surrender
😊 Discover divine joy even in ordinary life.

As we celebrate Shri Krishna Janmashtami 2026, may we not only worship Krishna in the temple, but also make our heart a Vrindavan where Krishna may eternally reside.

May His flute awaken love within us,
His Gita give direction to our lives,
and His divine presence inspire us to walk the path of Dharma, Bhakti, Seva and universal harmony.

🌸 श्रीकृष्ण गोविन्द हरे मुरारे। हे नाथ नारायण वासुदेव॥ 🌸

🦚 Jai Shri Krishna! 🦚

ॐ प्रणवो धनु: शरो ह्यात्मा ब्रह्म तल्लक्ष्यमुच्यते । अप्रमत्तेन वेद्धव्यं शरवत्तन्मयो भवेत् ।। #मुण्डकोपनिषद

PRANAVO DHANU SHARO HYAATMAA BRAHM TALLAKSHYA MUCHYATE.
APRAMATTEN VEDADHAVYAM SHARAVATTANMAYO BHAVET. Mundakopanisad

The Sacred Word (AUM) is likened to a bow, with the soul as the arrow and Brahman as the target. When one focuses unwaveringly, allowing their attention to remain steady, they will pierce the target. Just as an arrow becomes one with the target once it has struck, the soul merges with Brahman, achieving unity.
